    How much are your health insurance costs rising?

    Yes, thank you for your example. I didn't think about that so I appreciate the perspective. I was only focused on the people that can only afford ACA plans, and we agree it doesn't help them at all.

    Calm down Sally. Try and use your brain here. Why would someone not want an ACA plan? Maybe because they want a better plan, right? And do you think the better plan will be more or less expensive? I'm sure we can agree more, right? So we're helping people afford the better plans, right? And the people who can afford the better plans can do so because they have more money than those that can't, right? So again, it doesn't help anyone who can only afford ACA plans. It does help people who can afford the premium plans. I've said this 4 times now.

    Agreed. We both agree that it doesn't help anyone who can only afford ACA plans. It does help people who can afford the premium plans. I've said this like 3 times now.

    Maybe an example will help. 2025: Person A buys plan from ACA. Cost = $2,000/mo. Subsidies drop it to $1,000/mo. Person B buys plan from private insurer. Cost = $3000/mo. No subsides so cost is $3000/mo 2026 Trump plan, pay the subsidies to the person: Person A buys plan from ACA. Cost = $2,000/mo. They get $1,000/mo from Trump, final cost is $1000/mo Person B buys plan from private insurer. Cost = $3000/mo. They get $1,000/mo from Trump, final cost is $2000/mo Is person A getting any benefit? No. Same cost. Is person B getting any benefit? Yes, their premium plan is cheaper. Get it? The benefit is for the person who doesn't want an ACA plan. It's. School. Vouchers. It does nothing to make ACA plans cheaper and it weakens the ACA, which I'm sure you are in favor of anyway.

    Stock Market bubble - will crash

    No, I didn't. Find my post or STFU. I think it's a bubble because the valuations don't match the earnings. I've been through bubbles before, I've lost money in bubbles before. This has all the signs. I'm not cash however because you can't time it. This bubble could last another 2 years.

    If someone doesn't like their ACA coverage they can leave today if they want, they just have to pay more. With this plan, they won't have to pay "as much" more potentially. It doesn't help the people who can barely afford their ACA coverage now. Again, he wants to help the people who are more well off. A signature of his admin. It's school vouchers.

    It's essentially school vouchers. It doesn't help anyone on the ACA, but it helps people who can afford premium programs bought privately. Basically Trump screwing the lower and middle class and helping the rich, more of the same.

    Not the way it works. Joining the ACA is a choice. People have a choice to buy whatever insurance they want now. If you go through the ACA it was cheaper due to subsidies but may not be any more. You're still paying insurance companies for premiums not matter if you go through ACA or through another broker.

    All lies. However if trump voters are hurt because of Trump's policies, which is happening whether you want to admit it or not, that's a tough lesson they have to learn.
