PastafARRianBarack Obama celebrates 15 year anniversary of ACA by joining BlueSky
RivalarrivalThe ACA was the best that could be done at the time, but it is a steaming turd and needs to be replaced with Universal Healthcare.
It is universal. I guarantee you Obama would agree 100% with a European style single payer system, which is what I think you mean.
It’s not universal, it’s based on income. When I signed up for the ACA I put down my income at $3,000 a month, which makes my monthly bill $30.19 a month. If my average income for the year exceeds $3,000, I owe the difference to the government.
My small income works for me because I live alone and don’t have any dependents. But if I had kids I would need to double or triple my income to support them, in which case my monthly ACA payment would also increase. A lot of people with families are priced out of the ACA.
It’s definitely not universal.
Where are you getting $30 a month? When i looked at it, the chealest is like $300 with a $10k deductible
Washington State. My deductible is $600. It’s income based, so my low rate requires me to make very little. That is fine with me, since I have no desire to work more than 32 hours a week and I’ve learned how to live cheaply.
The insurance my job offered me is $100 a month with a $4,500 deductible, which is absolutely awful in comparison.
