Looming affordability crisis set to hit Americans with #health #insurance through #work

The expiration planned by Congress next month for the “tax credits” (aka subsidies) that allow states to provide the public's access to the healthcare marketplace will create a sudden shock of hundreds of thousands - more likely in the millions - of Americans no longer able to get sickness, disease, and injuries treated; will begin a new period of #medical, #economic and #social collapse. This is combined with massive increases to private insurance including employer-provided plans & programs, and the effective end to all #Medicaid-associated programs nationwide next fall. An avoidable human #catastrophe from #MAGA, which the majority of the US public is only beginning to notice.

> It’s a perilous combination for 165 million people with employer-sponsored health insurance. Premiums are rising, while yearly pay raises shrink.

hey, that crazy nutbar running alberta wants to leave ottawa's dental program that fully covers people up to $70k income, and less so for people up to $90k.

nutbar wants to take the feds' money they'd spend on alberta and expand their own programs.

here are the shitty income caps on their current programs. i wonder if albertans believe they'd get a better deal from nutbar if they make more than this?
