• Health Insurance Now Costs More than a Mortgage. Thanks, Obamacare!

    Healthcare costs shouldnrCOt eclipse the cost of owning a home; but for millions of Americans, thatrCOs exactly whatrCOs happening.

    The numbers donrCOt lie. The average American family now pays over $2,200
    a month for health insurance; surprisingly, thatrCOs more than the average monthly mortgage payment of $2,000. Let that sink in. Keeping a roof
    over your head costs less than keeping your family covered.

    That is not a market failure. That is a system rigged by liberals and government bureaucrats designed to benefit corporate giants at the
    expense of everyday Americans. Premiums are soaring, and insurers are
    cashing in. It needs to stop.

    Americans are noticing. A recent poll found that a staggering 90 percent
    of Americans say health insurance companies have too much control and
    should be broken up, with 74 percent strongly agreeing. The overwhelming majority of Americans know there is a problem. They are screaming for
    justice.

    So how did we get here?

    Blame the liberal architects of Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act (ACA)
    was sold as a lifeline for struggling families. Instead, it became the
    golden goose for big insurance.

    In 2024, a ridiculous 87 percent of insurer revenues from ACA premiums
    were taxpayer-funded. This was ten percentage points higher than before Covid-era credits expanded the subsidy pipeline.

    Democrats are not helping Americans afford insurance. They are writing
    blank checks to the very industry that is gouging them. Among the 312
    insurers participating in ACA Marketplace plans, premiums for 2026 rose anywhere from 12 to 27 percent for most enrollees, with some insurers
    hiking rates as high as 59 percent in a single year. These are blatant extractions. Every year, patients are paying more while getting less,
    and taxpayers are footing the bill.

    On top of all that, repeated mass fraud from insurers has deepened the
    wound.

    Insurance is expensive... unless you're an illegal, then it's free.
    Illegals get the free stuff, working taxpayer citizens get the bill.

    Both sides are cashing in, not just liberals. Who runs the insurance companies? who sets the charges for hospitals?

    Liberals _are_ Americans.

    So how did we get here?

    Blame the liberal architects of Obamacare.

    The ACA was based on a conservative plan.

    "The concept of an individual mandate goes back to at least 1989, when
    The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank, proposed an
    individual mandate as an alternative to single-payer health care."

    "The 1993 Republican Health Equity and Access Reform Today (HEART) Act, contained a "universal coverage" requirement with a penalty for noncompliancerCoan individual mandaterCoas well as subsidies to be used in state-based 'purchasing groups'"

    The Affordable Care Act (ACA)
    was sold as a lifeline for struggling families. Instead, it became the
    golden goose for big insurance.

    In 2024, a ridiculous 87 percent of insurer revenues from ACA premiums
    were taxpayer-funded. This was ten percentage points higher than before
    Covid-era credits expanded the subsidy pipeline.

    What I hear you saying is that we need single-payer national
    health insurance.


    Nixon, a Republican, wanted that.

    Barack Obama is the mother of the (un)Affordable Care Act.

    Own it, buddy. ;-)

    First and foremost, liberals are not Americans.
    The liberal's goal is to destroy America.


    Second, the working citizen taxpayer *IS* the single-payer.

    The working citizen taxpayer pays their own healthcare bill PLUS they
    pay the illegals healthcare bill.


    Democrat's motto: Vote for me and I'll give you free stuff.

    It appears to me that reddit is just another libturd social media
    platform moderated by a bunch of lefty libturds. Forum moderators hate
    the 1st Amendment and they suck!

    FSVO 'average'. A family of 4 with an income of $50k is more likely to spend $150/month.

    For most other households, considerably more than in 2025 because the ACA enhanced subsidies and tax credits have been axed.

    That is not a market failure. That is a system rigged by liberals and government bureaucrats designed to benefit corporate giants at the

    Market failure then.
