just the fact that you can't understand the scenario is scary .
Do you actually think insurance companies just absorb the loss of uninsured ???

In the end it always falls back on the taxpayers.

ACA is what we are on
i am a 1099 employee & my wife works for our church
we did not feel right about having our church pay for our insurance
all i can say is they covered the cost of taking care of my wifes aneurism, it was $8880.00 out of pocket though
she is alive & healthy & that was May 2024

Remember when they claimed ACA would take care of the unpaid medical services problem that hits hospitals/ERs? Yeah, that really worked.

it always falls on two groups of people --- tax payers and the middle class .
Teds' comments above are silly and ignorant .
Insurance companies ALWAY 's bake in the cost of premiums and services due to those that never pay but still use services .
If an insured car is rear ended by an uninsured car ---- the premium's of the insured car are high enough to cover the repair , based of calculated data of total uninsured vehicles ---it's baked into the premium of the insured .
Medical coverage and services are no different . In fact , I would argue that medical services are WAY worse . Small companies and individuals are penalized for not being a part of a " large " group when it comes to monthly premiums .

Glad she is doing well sir. I wish her continued good health.

Hospitals were charging $5.00 for an aspirin 30 years ago. Medical expenses have been a ripoff for as long as I can remember.

Forcing insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions sounds like a great thing, but of course it causes everyone else to pay higher premiums. It's just common sense. We're ordering a for-profit company to accept a premium of a few hundred dollars a month for a person they know will cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe more, in medical expenses.

It's basically the same thing as forcing State Farm to issue a homeowner's policy to me if I call up and tell them my house is on fire.

Insurance companies aren't going to eat those costs. The rest of us make up for them.

The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, did nothing to make healthcare more affordable. Prices and premiums only went up, way up. Thanks to that [censored] we all have a version of major medical at an inflated price Yipee.

Amen!
