It's shocking how much healthcare costs are increasing. Our monthly premiums are jumping from $560 to $2,100 per month beginning Jan 1! As you said, deductibles are also rising. I don't know how our politicians can expect Americans to pay these prices. This is going to force many Americans into bankruptcy. We so drastically need an overhaul of our healthcare system here in the US!
Wow, that's completely nuts! Like I said, we will be okay this cycle, but I can't imagine what will happen moving forward. I like the idea of universal healthcare and then if you want you can pay extra for private care. That at least gives you something.
Yeah, it's almost the equivalent of a mortgage payment. Universal healthcare is really the only way forward, almost every other major nation already has it. People who aren't paying attention to this are going to have a rude awakening next year.
Sad for sure. It's crazy that people are still opposed to it.
I think they've bundled a lot of other provisions into that bill. I don't think these kinds of omnibus bills should be allowed. For issues as important as healthcare each individual issue should be voted on separately. Otherwise, it all becomes political leverage and games—seeing how many things they can add in and get passed.
Yes, they have been doing that for years now though. Then they use it as political fodder pointing fingers at each other.
