Skinny Repeal Goes Down The Shitter, Too.
#30
RE: Skinny Repeal Goes Down The Shitter, Too.
In TN, before the state expanded medicaid, my Premiums for a $5k deductible plan were $120/month, which was barely affordable for me, but doable.

Now, after Medicaid expansion, my deductible is the same, I have $20 copays, and my premium is $54/month.

It's a shitty plan, but it won't bankrupt me if something happens. I don't make a lot of money (any right now, back in school for 4 more months) so I qualify.

I'd gladly trade the "freedom" of getting gouged by an insurance company for slightly higher taxes for everyone and full coverage. The free market is great in most cases, but not healthcare. Profit motives in healthcare do not lead to positive outcomes for the most needy.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
