Had to resurrect this old account after I lost my last one:

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@Unpop_Science @ArmandDoma Again why are you doubling down on lying that you worked on solar?

No solar workers I know hate BAAJA they all love it.

Why would you hate something that is endorsed by the solar industry, lowers emissions, lowers nat gas expansion from 273 GW to 135 GW, & lowers utility bills?

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@MattBruenig @joebreslin @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz Is that even true though? I mean mechanically, if you just set an arbitrarily low reimbursement then sure, but that’s not “cost control” it’s just rationing care

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@CaseyReadReeder @masonmilla @MattBruenig @LittleKeegs0 @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz Damn a fifth of companies offer opt out payments? Wow!

[Eric Levitz @EricLevitz]

The tension between a large welfare state and low middle-class taxes is inescapable.

But it can be made smaller or larger. The more that Democrats want to increase demand, the less they can afford to reject policies that boost supply, such as the BAAJA

@zrahul2020 @MattBruenig @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz I'm already through with him lol, he incorrectly claimed that workers can't recoup their entire ESI premium, even the part paid by businesses: https://t.co/yxoIogDoL6

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@JoshTBVO @MattBruenig @ZachariahSchwab @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz lol Matt just claimed incorrectly that you couldn't opt out of your employee sponsored insurance plan and still receive the portion they paid of the premium: https://t.co/7LOdyAQFJ9

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@masonmilla @MattBruenig @LittleKeegs0 @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz How do you know?

This says they are common among Section 125 plans, which are themselves very very common

@zrahul2020 @MattBruenig @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz Canadian and Indian account trying to tell me how American health economics works. I do love to see it

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@mattsheehan92 @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @MattBruenig @EricLevitz It's so strange that Matt has convinced this is just accounting pedantism. For fucks sake

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@ArsonExMandela @MattBruenig @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz Yes. Hospital networks and insurance companies often negotiate reimbursement rates for that specific network. That's why you hear things like "that doctor is out of network"

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@MattBruenig @JoshTBVO @ZachariahSchwab @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz Also Gemini? Lol

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

Yes. This confirms my point by word five that you in fact do get the premium back if the business happens to offer it.

Competition baby.

So that's, (1) yes you can obviously opt out of your ESI premium and save on the portion you pay, & (2) you can get the employer paid portion of your ESI premium back as well as an "opt out" payment.

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@Geraldcranium @JoshTBVO @MattBruenig @ZachariahSchwab @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz Yes I'm sure the socialist doesn't have a dog in this fight at all lmao

Which part didn't make sense to you here? We can go slowly

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@JoshTBVO @MattBruenig @ZachariahSchwab @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz lol Matt just claimed incorrectly that you couldn't opt out of your employee sponsored insurance plan and still receive the portion they paid of the premium: https://t.co/7LOdyAQFJ9

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@ArsonExMandela @MattBruenig @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz Because higher Medicaid and Medicare census puts them in a stronger negotiating position as a network with private insurance companies when they set reimbursement rates.

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@largedeaner @ZachariahSchwab @MattBruenig @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz It wasnt about understanding and agreeing with me or not though, it's simply that we weren't discussing that at all and what was asked was irrelevant lol.

Keep simping though.

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@RecktallBrown @MattBruenig @EricLevitz > Your country would be spending less on healthcare with M4A

Again we've yet to establish this, of course. Studies go in both directions.

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

Insane, now we're defending actual right wingers on this single point so you can link them to Niskanen. You're so fucking pathetic.

Got any talking points on their support for universal healthcare? Just that it's not actually universal because it's only catastrophic and that's right wing?

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@JoshTBVO @MattBruenig @ZachariahSchwab @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz lol Matt just claimed incorrectly that you couldn't opt out of your employee sponsored insurance plan and still receive the portion they paid of the premium: https://t.co/7LOdyAQFJ9

[Matt Bruenig @MattBruenig]

@Corey_Leander @LittleKeegs0 @Nathan4897 @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz You cannot! If you are employed and your employer has ESI which they are legally mandated to have, if you decide not to enroll, they employer does not refund to you the employer portion of the ESI premium. You lost it!

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@RecktallBrown @MattBruenig @EricLevitz That's not the claim. It's that we spend more on healthcare, consume more of it.

[Corey @Corey_Leander]

@ArsonExMandela @MattBruenig @LoverNotArguer @EricLevitz Yes they subsidize Medicare and Medicaid patients.

@flylikethesun @walterpols @sable98677 @fawfulfan @HeerJeet The part where you pretend this serves as evidence of them being right wing when it shows them calling the present right wing crazy and wanting to discuss this?
