The average Medicare premium for 2026 has reached 200.00 a month. That is a hell of a lot of money to take away from seniors, and with a tax subsidy and a option to get insurance off the market place, it would be more affordable for seniors to go with the tax incentive and plan with the ACA, but the government doesn't give them that option, and I guess for some reason the tax funded healthcare paid by everyone for a lifetime still requires payment after you turn 65. Crazy how it works, yet is ever increasing expenses. Especially when the pharmaceutical companies rely on the governments payments.
Because automatically being old and working in the government earns you 3 forms of revenue. 1 Social Security Retirement. 2. Yearly Salary, 3 Bribery and insider trading revenues. They know what their doing when they give them selves a raise, but refuse to change the SS calculator to a calculation of what older people really spend, and inflation for cola should just reflect the inflation percentage in August. They really like to fu@k over the elderly and disabled citizens in America along with the veterans who paid into the system more than they wanted to.
I guess you're calling every farmer a leach ? Maybe you should apply for the ACA and shop around for insurance B4 you go knocking it. The subsidy is basically a tax credit. Depends on your income. Farmers get subsidized for the crops grown because some years they only get 94 cents a bushel. So the government makes their business whole through subsidizes. Even your local insurance agent can help you find the right health plan if you ever needed one, and the ACA pays them to do so as well.
I had it under Obama care and received the subsidy because I worked for a 5 man business. Way better insurance than the employer insurance I had with employers. At that time the gold plan ran a individual 89 bucks if applied subsidy, and qualifications. If I was under a income limit then the application automatically was sent to Medicaid as is still the case with the aca. So in all actually it has created more strain on the states Medicade system because now every minimum wage worker falls below the poverty lines after all the bills are paid. Personally it was a great thing for someone who otherwise had no access to healthcare or had to look for a different job just for healthcare. It helped out small businesses and helped out self employed people, and waitresses alike.
