Subsidies don't make healthcare "more affordable," they make healthcare more expensive for everyone.Before Obamacare was shoved through and passed in 2010, conservatives and small government proponents warned that once the entitlement program was implemented, it would be impossible to take away. They were right.
Fast forward five years and a new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows a majority of Americans want Obamacare subsidies mandated in all 50 states if current federal subsidies are struck down in King v. Burwell. In other words, the majority of country wants healthcare plans paid for (aka subsidized) by someone else.

Majority of Americans are idiots. Look who they elected.

ReplyDeleteI remember that and priceless! :)
DeleteYeh well....As the federals have stated repeatedly that they have the goal of "dominating the human domain" and since they have OPENLY announced that they consider the use of propaganda to be a "fundamental" part of "shaping public opinion", I have to wonder how much, if anything, I see published is truth. ---Ray

Most people don't care that costs increase. They just want someone else to pay their costs. That's what teh whoe "pre-existing condition" argument was about. Getting other people to pay your known and expected future medical costs under the guise of "insurance" when real insurance is supposed to spread risk, not certainty.

DeletePrecisely.
I think we need to consider who conducted the poll and how the question was worded.
ReplyDeleteThen consider the fact that those same folks think they are going to get the same sort of health care they used to get for free from the Government.
Virtually all who had insurance before, now have to pay more for less coverage to support the others. Sounds familiar.
