What so hard to understand? If someone is a poor person with a serious condition who most likely won't live to collect social security and medicare, wouldn't it be fair that they should stop paying their fica taxes? Why pay for something you won't collect? On top of that lets reintroduce pre-existing condition waivers
You really want to know what's so hard for me to understand? How the hell do you not know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?
That's how it is designed. DUH!!!!!!!! Besides, you only pay a fraction of what you will eventually use. Take care of yourself, why do you need government to do it for you?
I agree that is how it is designed.
I may or may not get my monies worth depending on my future health status-that is how insurance works.
I am all in favor of Medicare for all/universal coverage-and I am fortunate to have excellent private insurance. If that is the government doing it for me so be it.
Take care of yourself? I agree personal choices are a factor but not the only factor in needing health care.
Are you against Medicare/Medicaid/VA healthcare? Can you afford to pay cash for high medical bills?
And Anthem isn't the only one to pull out, it has nothing to do with Trump. Insurance companies are losing money because the federal government is not reimbursing them and they cannot be expected to sustain those kinds of losses. If they do, then everyone else's premiums will rise dramatically. Thank you Obama.
Intelligent one, Anthem said that Trump threatening to cut subsidies altogether has forced them to protect themselves and pull out. Again I can quote from the article again if need be.
They were pulling out long before Trump to office.
They were pulling out long before Trump to office.
If you read the statement by Anthem that is not true at all, the constantly changing regulations and the inability of Trump to make a decision on the court case regarding the subsidies is creating instability. Anthem cannot develop rates for next year unless Trump and congress decide on the subsidies.
