How high will ACA premiums go if the subsidies expire.

I'm barely getting by as it is. Really, I'm not getting by; I'm putting off catastrophe. I am absolutely sure I'm not the only one.

11. No, you're far from alone. CBO estimates 2.2 million will be priced out.

And that is in the first year alone. The number increases over time.

AI summary

If enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies expire at the end of 2025, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that approximately 2.2 million people will lose their health insurance in 2026, a number that would grow to an average of 3.8 million people per year from 2026-2034 if the expiration is not addressed. This loss of coverage is due to rising costs making marketplace health insurance unaffordable for many people.

THATS how much it's gonna cost them.
THEY know this, too, and that's why they're trying so damn hard to get US to leash the leopards..to the point of now trying to blame us for the leopards THEY set off the chain.

Fuck that noise. Let the beasts eat ALL those maga faces.

that nobody wants to talk about or deal with.


Even for people like myself who have excellent insurance, I can't afford to retire because I couldn't afford decent healthcare without the help of my employer
