[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]at this point i think the dems should cut their losses and pass the cr and enable the legislative branch of govt function again, however terribly it may be. it's better than zero.[/quote]

Absolutely not. Once the populous actually sees how much their ACA premiums go up on Nov 1 they’ll understand what the Dems are fighting for and how corrupt the GOP is [/quote]

So the only way ACA can survive is through massive subsidies?  Sounds like it needs to be reformed or killed.[/quote]

I read some news saying that the premium for SOME families could increase up to $2000 a year if the covid-19 subsidies expire. I emphasize “some” because it appears those families are on the upper side of household income.

But all insurance premiums go up each year.  For example the FEP Blue basic will go up by $1385 next year. [b] Note the federal government insurance is considered the best. The private employers’ insurances are generally worse than the government’s.[/b]

I don’t oppose the COVID-19 subsidies be extended. But my question is why can’t all insurance premiums be eligible for the Covid-19 subsidies (which are just tax credits)?[/quote]

This is not true. The federal options are middle of the road as far as the employee’s premium and benefits provided.

Also regarding ACA, premiuare going to double or triple for some people. So a family paying $600 per month now might have to pay $1800 per month next year.[/quote]

What are those families income?  There are no upper income limits for ACA Covid subsidies for 2121 through 2025. So a family of HHI $600K could get a subsidy.  If the Covid subsidies become permanent (as D proposed), then a family of 1 million HHI could be eligible for the subsidy while ordinary Americans buying insurance through their employers cannot have this subsidy. Note if your employer offers insurance, you are not eligible for Obamacare which is unfair. [/quote]

If you have health insurance through your employer, *your employer* is providing a subsidy. [/quote]
