And they *still* tried to block the will of the people after we voted for the Medicaid expansion! I was working in a union deli during COVID with zero health insurance and couldn't afford the marketplace bullshit working part-time at $13-15/hr.
I have insurance. Annual deductible 5200.00 through work my employer and I pay monthly before the deductible. My doctor calls it heart attack insurance. You only use it when a major illness strikes while insurance CEO's live fat cat lives.
As a European, I simply can't understand why you don't have public and free healthcare everywhere for everyone.
4 years ago, I underwent a small surgery that became slightly bigger. I paid 10€ because I wanted to sleep in a single bedroom. In a double one it would have been 100% free.
Still. Paying 500 is mental. It does not cost that much for healthcare. Period. Norway spend 10% of GDP on healthcare. The US gov 21%. And still you have such prices to pay pr month?! It would be so much cheaper to give everyone free healthcare and form public hospitals. Cheaper for everyone.
9-years ago I tried to go the same route, couldn't afford the policy, so I went uninsured had a full on heart attack, I learned the weirdest thing. Because I wasn't a US citizen, I obviously wasn't Medicaid eligible but as a non-citizen could negotiate on price but that it was illegal for citizens.
It allowed me to come out on top... It was cheaper to have a heart attack and negotiate than it was to buy insurance to cover the hospital fees. Totally mad.
Fun fact. Citizens can get a break, too. If you're unable to pay the hospital will negotiate with you. They sometimes understand something is better than nothing. A grad school friend who is a US citizen had a medical issue they couldn't afford during grad school. The hospital settled for 10%.
Interestingly I was told that once you were a citizen it was illegal under the state Medicaid laws to do this. you are in essence forced through Medicaid and go through the spend down process which in essence strips you of your assets when you get sick .
In large percentages rural America voted for djt. They preferred racism hatred revenge & misogyny to affordable healthcare a lowering cost of living & basic decency.
I'm in exactly the same situation... I mean I'm actually in a little bit of a better situation because Colorado has a good marketplace but because of many pre-existing conditions I'm assuming within the next six months or so I'll be SOL
I needed help in home sometimes,we applied for my spouse to be my in home care.
They said we maid to much money⁉️
How⁉️
Me:Disability benefit
Him:Retired on SS his a Veteran
5k spend dn⁉️
@ericswalwell.bsky.social
But also, our healthcare is so crazy messed up way beyond all that.
Let the Republicans destroy what we have so we can build the actual thing that works instead of trying to perpetuate this thing that’s failed me all century.
The old system wasn’t working. What this administration wants, and everyone adjacent to it, is dumb as hell and a million times worse… but what we had before was also not working for most people. I’m one of them who was left behind by Dems too.
It’s creepy how if your logic starts to crack their belief they come at you with something about how they won’t let you manipulate them, or won’t allow your fear to control them.
Republicans and I mean ALL republicans, are in congress to represent the rich and to keep their money machine going! Bottom line! Republicans must be voted out!
That’s such a powerful example thanks for sharing it. Medicaid expansion really does have ripple effects that help everyone, not just those who qualify directly. Lower marketplace premiums are one of the hidden benefits people don’t always realize.
I hope all of your Republicans friends remember all this crap they are shoving down our throats. We MUST get rid of every Republican in Congress. They are simply complicit in this cruelty.
Health care should be guaranteed and free to everyone! It’s a human right! I shouldn’t go bankrupt due to a heart attack or cancer or diabetes!!! Literally in an urgent clinic dreading the $300+ bill I’m going to get. Health insurance is a scam!
THERE WILL SOON BE MANY THOUSANDS, IF NOT HUNFREDS OF THOUSANDS, OF AMERICANS THAT WILL LOSE THEIR MEDICARE BENEFITS BECAUSE OF TRUMP AND THE REPUG PARTY.. "MAKE AMERICA A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY"..
Uninsured people needing medical care also causes everyone else’s insurance to increase. So if doing the right thing isn’t a motivator maybe personal financial gain would be
Son is an aerospace engineer. Lost his job, thanks, DOGE. Had many interviews; all managers said, “The gov’t is erratic now. We don’t know if we’re getting funding or contracts.”
He decided to apply for grad school but meanwhile he’s on MediCal.
Pro-life means taking care of the living
My ACA policy is over $900/month for the bronze (turd) level coverage. I have a $9400 annual out-of-pocket deductible. I'm limited to a 100 mile radius of coverage in a very "narrow band" network of providers. Praying Medicare will be there late next year when I finally qualify
When I first retired my insurance through ACA was going to be $700 a month with a $7,000 deductible--so all services would be paid out of pocket until I hit $7,000...medicare is better, monthly $500.00 a month and $300 deductible.
That's why I had to stop buying exchange policies a few years ago and take my employer's expensive PPO plan. The Texas exchange was offering policies that covered less for more and more $$ every year because they still refuse to expand Medicaid. Because Obama, as far as I can tell. Dumbasses.
Only as long as they do better by not overriding doctors diagnoses and treatments. I think there need to be laws that prevent bureaucrats from making medical decisions.
ahh yes unintended consequences - wait until you see the cost of prescription drugs sky rocket as the cuts to medicaid dampens the demand for products - Trumpy cannot repeal the law of supply and demand by EO😇
I found out some state owned hospitals do not accept Obamacare/marketplace insurance. They only accept employer sponsored insurance or Medicare/Medicaid. So even if one can afford marketplace insurance, it’s useless. Want to check hospital etc that one usually goes to just to make sure first.
Pre-Obamacare that same self employed insurance would have cost you $1200 to 1800.00.
As long as you did not have a pre-existing condition.
I was listed as having a pre-existing condition in 2004, my insurance went to $3200.
I still have no idea what my "condition" is
Not anymore. You’ll get nothing now. But it’s okay. Hospitals will close down and so will nursing homes and doctors offices. Hope your family is healthy. Death is going to knocking on America starting very soon. Trump wants people to die.
Thank you! IF people understood the importance of medicaid expansion and its relationship to insurance premiums for everyone! When your State refuses to increase the %FPL for qualifying they raise premiums. ACA expanded/allowed 4x or 400% for premium assistance. https://thefinancebuff.com/federal-poverty-levels-for-obamacare.html
Half of seniors in nursing homes are paid for by Medicare. If that’s gone, who will care for bedridden seniors? Are you going to stay home and change your mom’s diapers?
Most people don’t understand this reality of how insurance works. Same companies that provide Medicare Advantage and Medicaid also provide commercial/private insurance.
This is another aspect that I think people lose sight of. I think many people will be forced out of running their own businesses or having to go back into workplaces that they have desire being a part of because of this legislation. I have a thriving private practice in therapy. With this? Gone
The rat bastards will undo everything that helps regular people. If you aren't rich better get ready for war because they are going to stop until they are dead.
CAGOP California GOP prison industry passed the bill to take it away health. Hoping sick people bring crime rates up. Crime = cash to a gop system of governing .
I’m fortunate I never had to rely on Food Stamps or Medicaid. I’ve paid taxes for 51 years and I am happy that my tax dollars helped those who needed these programs. What have we become as a nation. Jesus said it best. “Whatever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters, you do for me.”
My husband is self employed and I was a building substitute for a local public school. Without marketplace (ACA) we would have been paying over 2k a month for our family but thankfully got subsidized to pay $780. Before ACA existed, we were denied heath insurance coverage due to pre-existing cond.
Oh yeah. I didn’t vote for him I voted for Kunce.
So let’s see how he actually votes. Thanks for the reminder.
I hate our senators. But Hawley can redeem himself a little if he follows through. Not much though. Now our other senator just hired a Nazi. Who was fired from DeSantis for being a Nazi
I turn 65 next month and received notice this week that my premium for Parts A and B will be $185/month and I'll be billed for three months at a time. I still need to get Parts C and D as well as vision. I'm dismayed by how unnecessarily complicated and confusing the sign-up process has been.
Part C is Medicare advantage which is 4-profit insur. the gop’s ploy 2 destroy Medicare & move ppl to 4-profit insur. W/ traditional Medicr you don’t need part-C. You do need a medi-gap plan & part d (drug plan). If you want you can get a dental plan. I was on open market: $1100/mth. Medcr is fab..
Yes you def shd get a medigap plan and a part D drug plan. I worked with a great ins agent who specializes in medicare plans. Just make it plain that you want medigap (medicare G) and part D and NOT medicare advantage.
Ins agent is free, they get fee from ins companies...get a recommendation for a good one.. Also, don't delay getting your medigap... They can charge you a lot more if you don't get it within so many months.. 3?..of your bday. Good luck!
If you don’t take the medigap coverage in the beginning you will be charged a fee later on. Take something that fits your needs now but take something. You can always change as your needs change.
You don’t need or want part C if you have parts A & B. You will want part D. Parts C and D were ways to let private insurance profit off Medicare beneficiaries. Part C completely replaces your A and B with private insurance & I don’t recommend it.Take my word for it. I know what I’m talking about.
It can be a real trap dealing with provider contracts and coverage loopholes. A retinal hemorrhage taught me that lesson.
I've been on original Medicare for years due to disability. I see specialists and qualify for free vaccines and wellness care all for a monthly premium less than $200
See what I mean? I would never have known that, and I've found no third-party independent source stating that. I will reconsider. I thought C was the gap coverage.
If you’re thinking of getting a Medicare supplement policy to cover what Medicare Parts A and B doesn’t, it is not Medicare Part C. The insurance companies deliberately mislead people about Medicare “Advantage” (part C).
Medicare supplement policies are called just that.
I work for the County administering Social Services programs in California. Where do you live? Look up your Council on Aging, they have Medicare counselors that are awesome. They will tell you everything you need and what you don’t. They are just there to help.
I rec Following /reading Thom Hartman report or on SiriusXM, or Free Speech TV he has talked for years about what a scam Med Advantage is, steer clear!!
Go to chatgpt. Tell it your situation, like ... "I'm a 65 yo female with $X in savings. I make $Y per month from social security and about $Z monthly from my job, where I plan on working until age ZZ. Teach me about Medicare like I'm a 5 yr old".
No, part C is generally private insurance called Medicare Advantage. It sounds like original Medicare just because of the name. If you need what the private insurance company offers just make sure you're clear on the actual costs and other restrictions.
Exactly
I only have the insurance part
Basic no upgrade or private like blue cross blue shield. It covers everything I never get refused which it’s important as I’m recovering cancer patient. Social worker can come to my my one assess set up home health aid like PT
My scripts I get through Tricare
Reading this from outside the USA, it all sounds *insanely* complicated and a complete racket. I’m so sorry you have to jump through so many hoops just to (hopefully) make sure you’ll get looked after if you become sick. It must be awful to worry about not being able to afford healthcare 😨
Add on... you can have 401K betting against you and your family for your RETIREMENT. Buy more "health stocks now" You too can bet against your sick kids cancer etc...
Not morbid at all!
In Canada one single payer no bill and no hassle.
But we can have Part A, B, C, D, E...
Added on a flood with paper that just makes so much sense. That is so much better right? Aren't we clever.
It is based on income & should go down if you have less income
Mine was really inexpensive for a while under $150 last year cashed in investments now this year it’s $395 or something like that. One year only
Also I didn’t fill out any form if you don’t select if signs you up for insurance part
Yes, as former SSA employee, I can confirm that premium will go up for any year your income is above a certain limit. Basic premium for most is $185 this year (up from $150).
My part A is pulled from my social security & my supplement is $127 a month but going up in a few months. When I retired, the school system no longer subsidized our monthly premium & I was paying almost $800 a month until 65 yrs. I do pay for dental but not vision. So far Medicare is great.
I am self-employed. No health insurance costs
Just had 3 major medical tests & will be having surgery, all at no cost
During my recovery I will have EI benefits because I belong to a govt program that assists small business owners at a time like this
I call bullshit I am also a small business owner have been for over 20 yrs still can’t get a policy for my family that covers us with no cost they want me to pay over 1200$ a month for three people with a 10,000 deductible 60$ copays and will only cover HALF of emergency visits!?
Taking money away from poorer people and giving it to rich people tanks the economy. Rich people hoard it whereas poorer people have to spend it on necessities. We know this to be true because of the huge effect on the economy of even small stimulus checks.
You forget that the Biden administration also passed a program to cut prices on the exchange by about half. Over 14 million more people were able to get health insurance thanks to Pres Biden. Guess what t is going to do with that program
Congressmen can represent their constituents if we make our voices loud and call every day so they know we’re not lazy and complacent. Tell them you do not accept cuts for the majority to pay more for the already obscenely wealthy!!
That’s exactly right and why the middle class is shrinking every year. The gap between the wealthiest and the middle class has grown, with a larger share of income being concentrated at the top.
It is so enraging that you have to explain this to some people. And that they still don’t understand or care. Our medical system will collapse all around them and they still won’t get it.
I think the republicans are ripe to meet their demise. As an RN I’ve seen the increased cost of not having people insured. This will be paid for by the hospitals and in turn by us. I’ve also seen the damage unchecked disease has on people. The R’s maybe joyous now but just wait.
I don’t really know. Trump has hold of the republicans. One thing I do know Trump has a talent for finding dirt on people and using it to his advantage. Look at his admin. Every one of those people are damaged. Trump is profit oriented and he doesn’t care about anything but that. R’s love it.
Do you think it's possible Trump's motive is to destroy Republicans in retaliation for something. I can't think of any other possible reason for this administration's acts that do nothing but destroy working Americans. This is crazy.
Also, there's a little known government agency that provides excellent healthcare, multiple sites in each state. They are called "federally qualified healthcare centers" FQHCs. I worked for one called Central Florida Health Care. Sliding scale fees and excellent care plus discounted prescriptions
You’re very lucky. In Texas, my Medicare supplement plan F went up by $40/month. A business insurance plan for my SO who isn’t on Medicare yet is over $1700 a month. House insurance skyrocketed as did auto. Taxes are through the roof. It’s becoming unaffordable to live in Texas. Land of greed.
Just shows good things can and do happen if we all work together, which is why it was so dumb for us to have allowed ourselves to be divided along ideological lines. Unless your born with the Silver Spoon in your mouth, we all live from the same place, out pocketbook, which just gets smaller.
The budget will hit the 'Medicaid' expansion. It is FOR the 'WORKING' poor. If Health insurance cost wasn't obscene, or if we had 'Medicaid for All', it'd not be necessary. But note, WORKING poor. Many times it's full time, whether with one job or more. (Side gigs).
Right. In CA 40% of people are on Medicaid. In the richest state in the country with more billionaires than anywhere else. CA needs to develop something of their own. Instead they worry about the $10 million+ homes in Pacific Palisades.
'MEDICAID EXPANSION'. A provision in the ACA calls for the expansion of Medicaid eligibility to cover more low-income Americans. Under the guidelines, Medicaid eligibility is extended to adults under age 65 with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level/FPL (133% plus a 5% income disregard).
Well, now your taxes are paying for billionaires to fill their yachts with premium fuel,
And your government to poison your food and water supplies. Enjoy your cancer, Americans, i hear it's expensive.
That’s exactly why those cock sucking vampires hate it and will destroy it.
Stay healthy or be ready to take your life when necessary. My grandmother taught me how.
Kristi Noemskull rejected Medicaid help and then said if you are single. No matter how broke you are, on your deathbed if you apply for Medicaid and hit the single button it’s an automatic rejection. She just so nice isn’t she?
It's ONLY because we forced them. And by including the stipulation that an end to federal funding would not reverse Medicaid expansion, meaning Jeff City would have to pay, is the ONLY reason Awful Hawley gives a damn and opposes Medicaid cuts.
I'm sorry, maybe it's cause I'm Canadian but $500 a month still seems a ridiculous amount to have to pay... I hope somehow you get rid of Trump and get a party in that will give you universal medical
One of the side effects of cutting Medicaid that isn't mentioned..is the " buy back in the Social Security program...where if you have a low monthly income..state Medicaid pays the part C cost of your Medicare, currently at $ 181 a month, I believe .
Part c and d don’t go together. Part c is advantage and is not Medicare it is private insurance. Companies market it as Medicare but it is not. It is paid with Medicare $ Also if you go with advantage you are not guaranteed to be able to return to Medicare. Ask the right questions!
Again, splitting hairs. These private companies have a contract with Medicare to provide the additional services, like vision, dental, and hearing, and prescription drug coverage that Medicare doesn't cover, plus the 20 % of total billing that parts A and B would not cover.
The Advanage plans, which you claim are not Medicare, are shown, and provided thru Medicare, and the Medicare handbook. It's very simple , you can either buy private insurance..or you can participate in Medicare advantage..but ONLY if you are on Medicare.
Who is responsible for the healthcare marketplace? Pretty sure it’s not republicans.
Healthcare costs skyrocketed and the actual coverage started sucking after Obamacare went into place. In other words, Obamacare is responsible for most issues with healthcare especially the affordability.
I hope that this BIG BILL that trump pushed through the House will never pass in the Senate! You may once again lose your health care! What they plan to do is drop millions from the role! Then they will add new qualifications for the people that want to or NEED TO apply!
All the medicare A B C D nonsense drives me nuts. If we just have universal healthcare... No more arguing about who gets what. Just health insurance for all.
I’m sorry Jess but Republicans don’t care if you lose the help Medicaid provides to make healthcare more affordable. If you are poor, needy and can’t afford the coverage, they want you to just get sick and die.
We are the disposable and replaceable drones of the economy.
I seriously don’t understand Repub voters. Paying $300-$1700 /mo (conservatively) for health care, AND paying generally HIGHER taxes than🇨🇦. Some paying higher taxes &have NO insurance cvg.😔
WHY on Earth would you keep voting for that?
EVERY other 1st🌍 country has UHC. Boot Repugs, demand UHC.
Pathetic how someone without a job and struggling can’t have snap or Medicaid now and they’re like you have to have a job to get the benefits that are supposed to be for the people WITHOUT jobs and struggling in the first place. Because their head is so screwed on backwards so tight.
Koch is one of the ultra wealthy that donates to elections but does not want to pay income taxes. There is another study that says, that if the 1% pay their fair share of income taxes. It could take care of world hunger.
Universal Healthcare! Between Medicare, Medicaid and contributions to employer plans or exchanges, Americans are paying thousands years for what? A couple of check ups a year and still have to pay 80% out of pocket for expensive tests like MRIs and prescriptions
I finally have Medicaid, disabled since 2001. I am on the disabled and elderly Medicaid Waiver Program. I get homecare. I just let my 3rd caregiver go due to theft. It is a huge problem. Filing a police report today
This bill not only cuts Medicaid but it will cut approximately 500 million of Medicare! Tell that shit to my significant other/husband of over 20yrs with CKD & myself that is an above knee amputee and other knee is bone on bone so wheelchair bound & a failed elbow replacement. Plus this cuts snap!
Medicaid’s role as a cost-control measure cannot be stressed enough and needs to be the primary message from those defending it to counteract the right wing’s focus on it being a “hand-out” to the poor. Only way to get the middle class to understand why this program is so essential.
Still very expensive. I pay 150 euros and the government helps me with 131 euros, so I pay a net sum of 19 euros a month. The government help is for people who have a low income.
Guess what! $500 a month is still unaffordable.
I paid that for 7 years. That shit policy covered nothing til i paid 6.5 K out of pocket, so i never went to the doctor. 42K for nothing. Then i smashed my face after fainting. 15 stitches, MRI, 1 mile ambulance ride: $6.8K. They covered none of it.
Now it begins.
Donald Trump, DOGE and the Trump Administration.
Cutting billions from humanitarians agencies, cutting life saving regulations, removing impediments to corporate profits,
American deaths
They don't care about We the People
They work only for themselves
and they blame us with lies
And now it's going to be ripped away from us. I am also self employed and cannot afford insurance and so I am on Medicaid. I have medications, checkups, etc I get by using it and that will all go away. My BP may kill me off without my meds. 😪
There also needs to be more focus on how Republican obstructionism made healthcare so expensive. Obamacare/ACA should have been very low like 5-15 bucks a month, but noooo, corporate greed and dirty politricks.
Sadly, that is going to go backwards for that individual and many others. Why is it so hard for Republicans to understand the connection between their voting habits and impact to their well-being and finances?
Same. I was a small business owner for 12 years and had to live on a small budget. If I didn’t have Medicaid during that time I would not have had anything.
I work for a hospital and can’t afford their insurance. Been using MO Healthnet, and they just stopped covering the tests my doctors requires for my meds. It’s $710 per test. FK MO politicians
The CBO said Americans at the lower ten percent of the income scale actually pay more under the House bill - people in the highest ten percent will benefit the most - there you have it!
Jess, the state Medicaid plans are based on the poverty level, and which category you fall in, like LIF = low income, ABD = aged, blind or disabled. LIF could be determined by how many underaged children you support in your household. But a healthy adult able to work would not be covered.
No, not everyone. Each state could be the same, but my state has categories for recipients to qualify for Medicaid coverage. Depends on how many are in your family, your income at poverty level. Then you could qualify for LIF= Low income family.ABD =Aged, Blind, Disabled. Or pregnant women/poverty
I hope those losers who voted for trump and this regime are now happy they may lose coverage. Or, do they now expect the democrats to bail them out as they do when a rethug congress is in power?
I think some if them expect church charities to step up, maybe??? at least that’s what I used to hear, “people should be giving their money to church and community groups of their choice instead of the government”.
$500 is still too much for me, and it’s probably for a high copay and high deductible, and denial of everything useful, and no doctors near me. So basically, almost no insurance plan I can afford is worth paying for. It’s actually cheaper to just pay full price. Or go to another country.
That was partly the price supports Biden put in. Those go out next year. But you're right. When hospitals have someone to pay. The costs of the uninsured. Those don't get added to regular health insurance premiums. Lowering those bills too.
I had to actually call somebody and have them walk me through getting my tax rebate through the marketplace It must be different for every state because I don't know who can afford $1,200 a month but that's rent.
Gee, I pay about 20% income tax up here in Canada and that includes my healthcare insurance. And now it’s beginning to include dental care.
Have you considered the USA applying for becoming the Eleventh Province?
The thing is that it's not really socialist. Canadian healthcare is simply paid for by taxes and regulated by the government. Each doctor has his/her own practise. There are services that are privately owned like labs and diagnostic services- it's more like a co-op.
You see, here in the USA, we’d rather be taxed into oblivion in little bits. We’re too stupid to do the math and the politicians LOVE it. FFS we used to have 1/3 pound burgers but we’re switched instead to 1/4 pounders because AMERICANS THOUGHT 1/4 WAS MORE THAN 1/3. Were so fucked
I wish! My grandfather was from Nova Scotia. My sister & I would love to cross over to Windsor & rent for 6 mo out of the year to be away from this MAGA disaster even if it’s just for a while. We’d still be only 6 hours from home!
Glad my two great grandfathers chose to move both of their families to Canada somewhere in the early 1900's. I complain because I have to pay $35 a month.
I had 7 operations for polio, and one was during the implementation of Medicare in Saskatchewan when the doctors went on strike. Two emergency surgeries in the 90's where I almost died. I can't even imagine getting a bill. I helped my neighbor with his after they wintered in Arizona. Nightmare. 🤬
I got bronchitis in Florida in 2014. a Dr. Visit, drugs (antibiotics and lots of cortisone for me, the wife and daughter)
$600 usd!
Bloody crazy.
I always knew that 2nd amendment, Don't Tread On Me! was BS.
The American people left everybody Tread on them.
Zero red lines, Nada.
That's just unbelievable. I forgot to ask my parents what they did for my first surgery, before Medicare took effect in 1962. I'm assuming that the insurance policy my Dad bought covered it. After we got Medicare, the polio policy covered meals, lodging and travel. Mom always stayed with family.
With insurance, my wife paid over $2000 when I had my gallbladder removed. Luckily, I was on Medicare when I had cancer surgery and chemotherapy. Zero charges, although I was paying $250 for the added insurance.
I think ours is about $70 a month. My former employer pays half and it's deducted from my pension. The only thing I have had a bill for was ambulance, because they're all private. I've had lots of surgeries.
I don’t understand why insuring people is controversial. When we insure people our premiums come down, ERs become more efficient and we become a healthier society. The Rs want to keep us sick and it’s such bad policy
You live in a country run for the rich Dems and Republicans. Normal Americans are a tick on their skin which needs removing. A rich, cruel country, that cares not a jot for it's citizens.
UK gonna go the same way when Reform win the next election in 4 yrs time. Vile Farage has persuaded the racist poor, but also the more racist middle class entitled types. Our NHS will be under threat- gov struggling to fund it now. Demographic dire. Sadly, we will need migrants to pay for it all.
If they truly wanted to save money they would get universal health care which would be 80% cheaper that our current system cause it gets rid of big pharma
After having an Angioplasty with Stent. 2002. Free
I approached a Private Medical insurance company in Ireland. Just in case I would need immediate health cover. With my history. They quoted €5000 for 5 years. Providing I didn't claim. I was in full-time employment in Heavy Industry.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
The states they didn’t expand Medicaid will be in trouble due to people needing the assistance . You are paying for your care , but if they cut the supplement then many will not be able to afford insurance. ERs and hospitals will go out of business .
I'm in Alabama and when I apply on the market place I'm told that my "application has been sent to Medicaid", Medicaid tells me I am "approved for family planning" only. How is that helping a 45-year-old with tied tubes, cPTSD (along with other issues), a messed up back, and panic attacks?
I'm so sorry. All medical care is required for family planning. Eldercare including aunts and uncles is part of family planning. Without medical care, no one can plan for their kids, their elders, themselves, resulting often in increased poverty that can last for generations.
Comments
All the civilized nations have it.
4 years ago, I underwent a small surgery that became slightly bigger. I paid 10€ because I wanted to sleep in a single bedroom. In a double one it would have been 100% free.
BETTER living in Calif🤷♀️ NOT⁉️
I am 100% disabled by surgical error⁉️
I needed help in home sometimes,we applied for my spouse to be my in home care.
They said we maid to much money⁉️
How⁉️
Me:Disability benefit
Him:Retired on SS his a Veteran
5k spend dn⁉️
@ericswalwell.bsky.social
I'm eligible for public health care for most things and have private cover for other stuff.
But also, our healthcare is so crazy messed up way beyond all that.
Let the Republicans destroy what we have so we can build the actual thing that works instead of trying to perpetuate this thing that’s failed me all century.
The old system wasn’t working. What this administration wants, and everyone adjacent to it, is dumb as hell and a million times worse… but what we had before was also not working for most people. I’m one of them who was left behind by Dems too.
Belief really can do a number on the mind.
He decided to apply for grad school but meanwhile he’s on MediCal.
Pro-life means taking care of the living
They’re Drunk on Fascism
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US! Keep making phone calls & writing emails! Boycott! MARCH! All of us together can make a difference!
As long as you did not have a pre-existing condition.
I was listed as having a pre-existing condition in 2004, my insurance went to $3200.
I still have no idea what my "condition" is
Difference is single payer.
That's it. Its still private insurance.
Hasn’t their racist, misogynist, hate-driven propaganda worked on you yet?
Now Hawley is out fight for Medicaid and for he reelection
So let’s see how he actually votes. Thanks for the reminder.
I hate our senators. But Hawley can redeem himself a little if he follows through. Not much though. Now our other senator just hired a Nazi. Who was fired from DeSantis for being a Nazi
They just could vote for a democrat
When we get our COUNTRY back from the brink😕
THIS is what MUST
HAPPEN!
👍💯🤷♀️🤔😉 ⚖💙⚖
Then we will have the power of COLLECTIVE BARGAINING & make Healthcare AVAILABLE for ALL it's CITIZENS!

They helped me a bunch.
I've been on original Medicare for years due to disability. I see specialists and qualify for free vaccines and wellness care all for a monthly premium less than $200
Medicare supplement policies are called just that.
And ask until you are sure that you understand.
I only have the insurance part
Basic no upgrade or private like blue cross blue shield. It covers everything I never get refused which it’s important as I’m recovering cancer patient. Social worker can come to my my one assess set up home health aid like PT
My scripts I get through Tricare
Not morbid at all!
But we can have Part A, B, C, D, E...
Added on a flood with paper that just makes so much sense. That is so much better right? Aren't we clever.
Mine was really inexpensive for a while under $150 last year cashed in investments now this year it’s $395 or something like that. One year only
Also I didn’t fill out any form if you don’t select if signs you up for insurance part
Just had 3 major medical tests & will be having surgery, all at no cost
During my recovery I will have EI benefits because I belong to a govt program that assists small business owners at a time like this
Americans are conditioned to accept this as having it good too.
I just couldn’t imagine the richest in the US could be so greedy and the middle class voter be so fooled.
And your government to poison your food and water supplies. Enjoy your cancer, Americans, i hear it's expensive.
Stay healthy or be ready to take your life when necessary. My grandmother taught me how.

We won't remove Trump
Amendment 25 him
He's criminally insane with violent dementia for real
It’s the same companies and plans as Americans
Parts C and D , while gained thru Medicare Advantage, ARE indeed considered Medicare. Google it .
Healthcare costs skyrocketed and the actual coverage started sucking after Obamacare went into place. In other words, Obamacare is responsible for most issues with healthcare especially the affordability.
We are the disposable and replaceable drones of the economy.
WHY on Earth would you keep voting for that?
EVERY other 1st🌍 country has UHC. Boot Repugs, demand UHC.
1) Don't Get Sick
2) If You Get Sick
3) Die Quickly
Sarah Palin was saying "DEATH PANELS" which is true today
I paid that for 7 years. That shit policy covered nothing til i paid 6.5 K out of pocket, so i never went to the doctor. 42K for nothing. Then i smashed my face after fainting. 15 stitches, MRI, 1 mile ambulance ride: $6.8K. They covered none of it.
Costs keep going up for Americans.
Donald Trump, DOGE and the Trump Administration.
Cutting billions from humanitarians agencies, cutting life saving regulations, removing impediments to corporate profits,
American deaths
They don't care about We the People
They work only for themselves
and they blame us with lies
$132 US
(shared private hospital and extras. dental, massage…)
Have you considered the USA applying for becoming the Eleventh Province?
Let us be independent and sovereign, please! I am against this sort of colonialism!
Be proud of what you did.
I've done it.
Roughly 15 surgeries and hospital stays in my 60 years. Cost. Zero.
$600 usd!
Bloody crazy.
I always knew that 2nd amendment, Don't Tread On Me! was BS.
The American people left everybody Tread on them.
Zero red lines, Nada.
They did it to “own the libs.”
Just like the same ones turned down summer lunch programs for children.
I approached a Private Medical insurance company in Ireland. Just in case I would need immediate health cover. With my history. They quoted €5000 for 5 years. Providing I didn't claim. I was in full-time employment in Heavy Industry.
