Everything is more expensive these days, from gas to groceries. But lost in the headlines are the skyrocketing cost of ObamaCare, its impact on inflation, and the fact that Democrats want even more control over our nation’s healthcare system despite their record of miserable failure.
Consumers were famously and repeatedly promised lower costs with ObamaCare, but there was little attention paid to the fact that the Affordable Care Act could only function with a steady stream of billions of dollars in government subsidies. The corrupt corporate media hasn’t mentioned it much in recent years, but it’s still there, and it’s going to have a big impact on November’s congressional elections.
Why? Democrats want to increase those subsidies to prop up ObamaCare and — here’s the outrageous part — to fight inflation. If you’re thinking more government spending causes inflation, you’re right. Leave it to the Democrats to create a bad situation and make it worse.
To keep the money flowing into ObamaCare, President Joe Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act into law in 2021. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the massive spending package includes subsidies that will “cost a whopping $30 billion in 2022, an amount 50% above the amount CBO projected one year earlier. Obamacare’s total subsidy cost will be about $90 billion in 2022 — $60 billion for the original and $30 billion for the expanded component.”
El Salvador is way ahead of the US in promoting the interests of its citizens instead of the interests of the medical mafia.
I don't do sugar so my teeth have been great.
I don't get how people have so many ailments. I don't go to the doctor for anything. I did have a seizure recently, but it's that and I fractured a heel a couple years back, summer 2020. I don't take anything and eat and do what I want. I'm not 20 anymore, but I feel pretty damn good. No longer have any heart burn. Eat what I want. I'm at a decent weight for my age and activity.
I see a slow down already in the 40's. But my immune system won't be going anywhere in 10 or 50 years. Preventative/healthy living. Plan on being one of those Arizona elderly I see still hitting the gym and trails at well into retirement.
