ACA Premiums Explode as GOP Obstruction Pushes Millions Toward Health Care Ruin

ACA subsidies are expiring, and premiums are exploding. A West Virginia woman’s story reveals how GOP obstruction turns ideology into suffering and preventable deaths.

Health Insurance Card: “Emergency Visit: $50 Copay” Bill: $1269.60

The fallout of The E.R.’s Embrace.

Yes, the copay was $50, as the insurance card claimed. The tests and “coinsurance” brought it to $1269.60. I was making sure my severe and rapidly worsening nerve pain at 3a wasn’t part of a stroke or other neurological issue that would have ended up costing the insurance company way more. Deny, Defend, Depose.

If you’d like to help me out with it, please buy me a ko-fi. See you at the USA healthcare revolution, fellow body-haver.

I've spent nearly 48 hours wondering about the UHC CEO attack and hearing all of the vitriol directed his way. And now I am hearing that Blue Cross Blue Shield has repealed its decision to charge patients extra for anaesthesia if their surgery takes too long, as if the attack had an effect.

But, yet, the political right somehow lands the message in the United States that the left wants to "take away your private healthcare." They. Land. That. Message. All. Of. The. Time.

How?

It is obvious now that USian healthcare firms and the rent-seekers who get rich off them are among the most reviled people in the country. How does this message keep landing? It is quite obvious that next to nobody likes their private insurance.
