The ultimate shrewdness is found not in the balance sheet, but in the qualitative excellence of the business.

Thank you Trump!
"80% of ACA tax credits go to people living in states Trump won."
"In Florida, West Virginia, and Alabama, 98% of people enrolled in Marketplace coverage received federal financial premium assistance, and 99% do in Mississippi."

Hopefully they just do the illegal alien way --- go to emergency room for anything. And don't pay.
Hopefully in more affluent liberal aras but even so - -the cost will end up with those who deserve to pay.
PS: Someone was pounding the table on this well before the Sheeple got into it. Months ago someone was saying -- ACA is as much if not more a ebenfit to Red as it is to Blue. Heck -- I'd have kept hte personal insurance mandate in there for that reason. But as soon as RomneyCare became ObamaCare - they couldn't take it any longer. They didn't care that hte personal insurance mandate --- was a Heritage Foundation idea.

Sure. I live in a state Trump won. I didn't vote for him, however, along with millions of others in my state.
There's no doubt there are a lot of folks getting subsidies who voted for Trump, but they'll forgive him, because "nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated".
And anyway, speaker Johnson said only yesterday they have "pages" of ideas for healthcare. If the Democrats would just reopen the government, they could all get on with their jobs and produce great, market-driven-patient-centered (unless you're pregnant) healthcare with no waste, fraud and abuse. /s

Priorities! The oligarchs and a fellow autocrat were in need.
Now...Brazil where they are fighting for their democracy and punishing an insurrectionist...those are things Trump does not like.

Do you people ever stop to wonder how Trump rode the price of an egg to victory---when yoou people can't do the same with $1000s in monthly premiums????
You don't.
You are less introspective than MAGA and Trump....did you think that was possible?

My friend's Phillippina wife's ACA insurance premium is going to go up and he was telling her, but not quoting figures. Many people have already been notified of the increase in premium and can't afford the increase so they're talking about it on reddit. There is one plan here that people om medicare claim charges them nothing - no premiums - they just go to that plan's hospital and doctors. I didn't look because of my dilemma. For years, if I left my plan, I couldn't get back into it. I liked my care, so kept it, even when overseas and only one hospital would take it. Now there's a 1 year experiment allowed for ----gaps and you can go back after a year.
I had my wife on Ambetter in ACA and thought their care was poor, these were docs churning through patients to make a living, not ordering tests they should and giving cheap prescriptions So I did a medium strong deep dive into health care, and it took a couple of months as I knew open season was coming up. I wasn't going to change her and then my wife got lousy care again, so I dropped my BlueCrossBS to a PPO and brought her on.
Her ACA premium had been $200 which I thought was fine, then at tax time I lost part of my refund so we were up to $400 a month, excessive, but workable for good health care, but I thought it was poor health care. Many people are very happy with Ambetter, but we both weren't happy with hers. Now that $400 will become $800 methinks for other people, totally unaffordable for most folks.
If you look at reddit, you'll see a bunch of people discussing their predicament and some comments from Euros.

Are they hiking the price more on Filipina Wives? What about Ugandan Wives, Mexican Wives, or Irish Wives?
The Wife's ethnic background must be relevant to ACA hence i'm asking.

This may explain why you have difficulty and think you are winning all the time, when in reality we're all losing.
