[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The subsidies are primarily people making over 100k.  Four times the federal poverty level was the original limit, that was eliminated under Biden's 'temporary' expansion.[/quote]

A few things.

Why is someone making 2X, 3X, 4X the federal poverty level getting subsidies?  You are either in poverty or you aren't.  That's just playing games with the system. It's shifting cost from one group of people to another. Time to end that.

I WANT people to feel the full brunt of not having subsidies.

There's an attempt to mask the true cost of services.  That's a disservice to the payer, the taker, the maker, the provider, the insurer, and everyone involved.  Market signals need to be accurate so that people can see the true costs of policy and who is getting their ox gored. That includes the patient paying $37 for an aspirin so another person can walk away without paying anything.

Finally, the payer of the bill through income taxes, FICA, etc, have less disposable income for everything else.  So other industries suffer because health care costs are consuming everything.  It's a big hit on our economy.[/quote]
