That's an important point that obmacare is too expensive for non-wealthy people and we should change that. For the reasonably well off programmer types like a lot of us, I saw it as a thing i could afford in the transition time before 65. Several people in my family worked until 63.5 and then had cobra. If I retire a few years before that I see obamacare as the main reasonable solution. My state has a healthcare plan separate from that, wonder how I could make a decision. I'm fortunate but there must be tens of millions of people in their 50s and 60s looking for a job and health care.
- Clubber 3y agoIt's nice that you can pick it up if leave your job for whatever reason and it's definitely cheaper than cobra. I just wish it was affordable for everybody. Currently it seems half way an insurance company giveaway.
- rnk 3y agoThe US could decide to tax us all a small bit to make aca cheaper, or even free, just add required payroll taxes to cover it. No one wants to pay more taxes but we'd be so much better off and pay less for healthcare if we worked through the govt. I'm willing to pay more taxes for this public good, and I tell my congressmen. They never respond. We should all have healthcare as american citizens. We choose (through the actions of our leaders and the influence of rich people having so much political influence or control over the us govt like the koch family) to not have national health care, to live in a country where huge numbers of people are one accident, health issue, job loss, or car crash away from being on the precipice of their family losing their house.
