Bear in mind that I looked at all the potential premiums at various incomes and ages for a family of 4 WITHOUT employer coverage. All of them are at, above, or pushing $1000. per month. Even AFTER Government subsidies of up to $3500 per year.
Where is a family of 4 going to come up with $1000. a month for health care, when they make $100,000.00 or less?
And bear also in mind that is a "best case scenario," NOT REALITY. You and the liberals in Congress keep griping about pre-existing conditions. You want insurance companies to cover such people. That means you want insurance companies to issue policies WITHOUT UNDERWRITING. = no insurance!
OR
GREATLY increased premiums! So the guy making 100K a year with a wife and 2 kids now pays $2200. per month because his wife had a lump removed. She's covered, but they can't pay the premium.
So after months of slurs and lies in both directions, ALL plans being considered are not worth a popcorn fart in a hurricane!
IF they pass this GARBAGE, they deserve to be tarred and feathered and not re-elected. If it IS all about the people that need it most, ALL of the present proposals FAIL to deliver for those people!
