Jobs give health insurance. If you lose your job then you lose your health insurance. It’s how America keeps the work force more docile and willing to put up with working conditions.
Yeah. The ACA was a way to stop that and a way to work with independent insurance. When it was cheap.
The last 2 years, at least, have been terrible. $500 for single person standard coverage in 24. $650 for standard coverage, single person, in 25. Then, there was also a bit where the only good plans (lower deductible and such) were subsidized. There were people who would work into those and then pay back the difference at tax time, because even that was cheaper than the crappier plans available to those paying 100%.
ACA was meant to be tweaked and improved from the day of inception. It was never “finished”. Instead, it was embattled, left to rot, and eventually de-subsidized.
