I'm sure that you'll be waiving the coverage mandates attached to the taxes for all those you dumped too
My brain hurts. He literally described how insurance works. You don't get car insurance cause you plan to use it.
About two years ago all the ACA plans basically became shit and were worthless for routine stuff.
However, I did get several years out of Obamacare and had access to the best insurance of my life on their mid tier plans.
It was a nice couple of years, but employers got used to it and offer even worse plans.
It's all to cut costs at the expense of the lower classes, shifting wealth and power to the greedy assholes already at the top. That's it. It's never been anything more than that.
But that logic, people who haven't had car accidents should be kicked off of their car insurance.
Are you talking about the ACA mandate that Americans have to carry health insurance, and there would be a monetary penalty if an individual didn't (aka "the Individual Mandate")? That mandate was set to a $0 penalty in 7 years ago 2019. Or are you talking about something else?
Hadn't recalled it being changed, but given his hate of the ACA and anything related to Obama I'm sure he'll find some way to punish people for either staying on it or being thrown off.
You're not wrong. In 2021, trump and GOP tried to say since the Individual Mandate was made $0 that the entire ACA needed to be thrown out. The Supreme Court of that day told trump to pound sand, so the ACA survived another GOP challenge.
I'm sure this is less about their indifference to what this means for those enrollees, and more about finding ways to cripple the ACA so they can justify killing it altogether.
I thought they repealed those years ago during Trump reign of terror #1.
