@ewarren They developed it, risked their capital, why shouldn’t they benefit hugely And the rest of us will benefit too. If we don’t, they won’t get rich from it
What did you contribute of value?
I have yet to find a billionaire who made their money from child care
Democrats entire ideology is build on demonizing and blaming others
They should look in the mirror and everything they do to regulate businesses to death
Sometime check out the 100s of pages of regulations needed to open a daycare in Seattle, eg they must serve ‘ethnically diverse” food
@ScottHickle There is no incentive to “pay more”. Like all industries they compete on the price of their products, so unnecessarily inflating costs is suicidal. Success in health insurance is about volume and scale
@ScottHickle Let me correct you.
PPACA caps admin + profit at 20% for individual and small employers <50 employees
Large employers 50+ capped at 85%
Their profit runs 2-3%
@RepPressley@RepRashida Missiles are being fired from Lebanon into Israel, what is Israel meant to do?
Your little war powers act won't change events in Lebanon you fool
Actual premium increase ended up being 58% not 114%, KFF's original estimates were too high.
Avg premium increased from $113 to $178/month. Unsubsidized average PPACA premium is ~$550.
Premium subsidies levels returned to pre COVID levels, levels that people like fine from 2014 to 2021
I lost my subsidy of $400/month, so premium increased to $1200/month/person. Wife and I made $125,000 ...why did I get a subsidy?
10% (2.4M) of ACA enrollees (2.4M) lost their subsidy like me because they make over 400% of poverty, $64,000/yr
Doesn't change fact, Brown's numbers are nonsense
Bye
So you're arguing 88% of enrollees will disenroll?
He's using the "will" tense, because he thinks he can lie without being caught
Every enrollee received the premium increase 1/1/26, ~100K dropped, another ~50K will drop, in meantime about 8K enroll newly every month
FYI I work in Ohio healthcare industry and do this for a living.
LOL
@southerngoth999@SherrodBrown Nonsense, losing 100K insured will not have one ounce of impact of Ohio's rural hospitals, it's less than 0.3% of their revenue
@southerngoth999@SherrodBrown I didn't dispute people were dropping, but he claims 500K are dropping
100,000 out of 569,000 have dropped, not 500K
"Are you...."
