Over 20M Americans Set to Lose Healthcare Coverage Jan. 1 After Congress Goes on Recess

[Uncle Joe]

Tens of millions of Americans are set to see their health insurance costs soar when subsidies under the Affordable Care Act expire at the end of this year. Health insurance premiums are expected to more than double or even triple for some 20 million people, pricing many out of healthcare coverage entirely. "We've done nothing as a country to control healthcare costs," says Elisabeth Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives at the Community Service Society of New York and member of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's transition team. She discusses how premiums will work, how to seek help, what to watch for in alternative plans, and more.

3. We fail to understand that they want to punish people

They believe if you can’t afford healthcare then you are getting what you deserve. The people who have to pay for their own insurance get screwed. I did it so I know. Imagine if no corporation or government could partially pay for their employees insurance. If that happened we would have single payer in one year.
That is what democrats should do with legislation. End employer contributions to insurance.
