Subject: Re: ACA for next year
Lapsody,

"Household wealth" isn't the same as "income."

Income is part of wealth.

Your statement that ACA subsidies are "not avaialble regardless of wealth" is demonstrably false.

How so? Income is part of wealth, so it isn't false.

It would require voluntary reporting, but only for those seeking the ACA subsidies.

OK, so you want voluntary reporting.

Now, have you any evidence that people are getting ACA coverage that have, say, over a million or two in assets? Just why do you want this to happen? It's going to cost to research this and change the law(s) to require this, it would be nice if it's more than an anecdote on an internet message board. Do you have evidence that we are inadvertently subsidizing a lot of multi-millionaires health care?

Did I tell you I took my wife off of ACA because I talked to the ladies in Doctor's offices that process medical bills and found that most of them wouldn't accept the plan she was on? And I talked to younger people on the same plan and they liked it. My wife needed a specialist, and there were 10 or more around town, but no one within two hours driving distance would take her plan. They listed three specialists within a half hour drive, and they'd either left, didn't take it anymore, or retired. So it depends on the plan and what you need, but if you have money, get good health care. But it's much better than no care. I'm sure there are better plans on ACA, but I dropped my care to a PPO and added her to my plan because I know it's good.
