The health insurance plans will just raise their prices by another $2000

Health insurance premiums are going to cost $28000 from now on.

It's one healthcare, Michael. What could it cost? $2000?

Trump is a gold spoon fed moron who's entirely disconnected from reality. That mofo talked about groceries like it's an afternoon club or some shit. He probably never ever even stepped into a supermarket and bought a fucking loaf of bread and something else himself. It's why he fucking has no idea how healthcare even works in America, when he had COVID they just pumped shit into him to keep his zombie body alive and he didn't even twitch even the slightest for how much that would cost. Meanwhile rest of people avoid calling an ambulance because that will cost so much it can bankrupt them. Tell me how that isn't absolutely fucked.

I live in Slovenia (Europe) and while our healthcare system isn't perfect either, not once I worried that my medical condition would set me back financially for 5 or 10 years. It just doesn't cross our minds, like at all ever. You just get in touch with doctors and they sort it out based on severity. If it's something non critical you might wait few weeks or months if it's something trivial or cosmetic, but if it's something urgent they'll send you to ER immediately and do most complex procedures asap. So it's not just "you need to wait for months because it's "free" healthcare". It is prioritized and it's perfectly understandable and logical.

Adding $660,000,000,000 to the federal deficit annually and still not making a dent in people's healthcare costs?

A single-payer universal healthcare system would be cheaper, as almost every other country's systems show.

The real trick is to get private equity and for-profit corporations out of healthcare. All they do is drive up costs while lowering outcomes.

Healthcare should be a public service, funded by the government.

Why does the health insurance industry even exist?

That's a question Americans are prevented from having because it would offend Ayn Rand or something.

Oh wow! In switzerland there is immense political pressure beause health insurance is very expensive.

I pay 6300 per year.

This is just a roundabout way of subsidizing the health insurance industry while making his base think he actually did something for them.

Typical NYC slumlord style: "Free first months rent."

Even if the government gives us $20,000 to buy health insurance, premiums will likely increase by $20,000.

holy shit is it really 26000?? that's more than what i pay in tax every year in europe. (granted i am poor but)

Republican healthcare plan can be sum up as "get fucked and die you dirty peasant".

Just more money being pumped straight into the pockets of the insurance company shareholders.

He just wants another excuse to send individuals checks with his name on it. Could be a good opportunity to virtue signal as well if the plan winds up being exclusionary toward singles or other groups.

"We'll do socialism, but we'll do it just a little bit, not enough to matter to any single human being's actual needs, but at least we broke our ultraconservative ideals for no good reason I guess?"

Isn't that basically universal basic income?

10% off, typically corporate garbage. Whenever you see something with like $100 off you can usually just times it by ten to figure out the real cost.

$2,000 off x 10 = $20,000 which is surprisingly close to the actual cost.

The reason his healthcare plan is ridiculous is because he hasn't put any effort into it. Which for Trump is saying something.

Concepts of a plan

In other news most countries only pay 3 to 5% of their income for universal healthcare but sure we’ll see how Pedo Care works out for Americans

Is he really just replacing like 6k+ valued ACA subsidies with 2k in subsidies that are implemented more stupidly

This plus the 50 year mortgages and I'm starting to feel relieved I'll probably die before the real aftermath of this shit hits.
