- soco 2y agoSo the US folks will have a real problem rather sooner than later. Of course, we others as well, better start investing time in woodworking, mechanics, healthcare or agriculture...
- ghaff 2y agoSubsidized health insurance is tied to employment with subsidies probably at about the 50% level on average.
- CogitoCogito 2y agoI understand that. That’s exactly the problem.
- ghaff 2y agoBut health insurance is easier if you’re getting paid (as are many other things including eating and rent/mortgage) is different from the idea that healthcare is tied to a job post-ACA.
- CogitoCogito 2y agoI’m not totally seeing your point. Being paid allows you to spend more money. I agree with that statement. Many countries have managed to separate healthcare coverage from your current employment status with better results and at lower costs than in the US. The US should learn from others solving problems better. Also healthcare has been tied to work in the US since long before the ACA.
