Guess what you can be sure Medicare for all will not happen. I DONT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT WITH HEALTH CARE. OBUMMER’S POLICIES WERE ALL LIES AND COMPLETE FAILURES. HE LIED LIED LIED AND STILL LIES TO THIS VERY DAY!

Help me understand why healthcare premiums are 1400.00 dollars a month for TWO people? We are being financially raped by ODUMMER’S HEALTHCARE: $6000.00 deductible is absurd

All I know is, I cannot afford Obama Care in CA but thanks to GavinNewsom I get to pay for the Healthcare for illegals. What Happened Indeed?

Policies implemented by Trump and complicit enabling Republicans have caused the number of UNINSURED Americans to go up. And, these numbers will continue to rise, crippling our US economy and destroying ppl’s lives. Many if not most UNINSURED Americans are CHILDREN. VoteDemocrat

Or is it ACA failed and having an insurance card does not mean you can afford to see a doctor.

Omg really! We’re paying for all your nonsense as well. The recall on you is getting bigger by the day

Hey congrats GOP realDonaldTrump this is the big victory you were hoping for?! asshats health Healthcare

Too bad !

It is unaffordable and unsustainable as designed.

Just remember it’s cheaper to get cremated than to go to the hospital....😢

We fight over access but never discuss Cost. Healthcare costs 18% of GDP, highest in the industrial world with mediocre outcomes & $23B. in profits since 2018. Profits drive Wealth Creation, but when it violates PublicInterest, it does flirt with extortion.

I found a way around it thanks to Trump taking away the mandate and making it legal to have catastrophic health insurance again. This year I paid 1,000 a month for ACA and had all kinds of tests. No issues. Next year I will pay 200.00 a month for catastrophic insurance. Repeat.

Dem Govt control enacted Obamacare is unaffordable to ever more ppl

'Since 2008...' Who was president beginning in 2008?

I guess this is just another example of how “cringe-worthy” Trump is as a president.

I know quite a few people who have returns to uninsured by choice. I’d like to see if there is a trend in that as well. (Not saying most are, just noting that there may be some)

That is only because Obamacare forced people to pay for their healthcare that couldn’t afford it. Now it is their choice.

Making America Great Again 🤦🏻‍♂️

Selfish GOP

Why would anyone expect a different result? When freed from compulsory buying some people dropped Obamacare. The reason why is obvious. Expensive and marginal benefit. I’m sure those getting heavy subsidy kept it.

Sad story this morning on news. Many residents of small New Mexico city, with only a single hospital, are being sued and having wages garnished by hospital for overdue medical emergency bills. Most had insurance. Inadequate insurance.

Thanks, realDonaldTrump ! We're so glad fewer fellow Americans have healthcare now and they will probably die. As long as my 401k is making money I say MAGA am I right America?! wtaf

Fake news

Ask them if they rather pay $3000 for garbage 'insurance' or pass. (Crickets) Obamacare is still there. If they wanted it the could of bought it. They didn't. Where's that headline? (Crickets)

Sorry fake info it is the cost of insurance that is causing people to drop insurance and we have a higher workforce participation and many companies do not subsidies insurance costs

Trump’s definition of winning is a normal person’s definition of losing. PresidentPAB

Promises Made Promises Kept! Right GOP realDonaldTrump ?

Thanks POTUS.... Safe again....

And, unlike Taylor Swift, they did it without the assistance of a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer, any sort of album pre-order/pre-sale access code promotion, or a single merchandise/album bundle. What’s with the false sexual assault allegations getting a mention in the article? Lame.
