Right…I would love to natter on more about science fantasy, what works/doesn’t, what about the contrast/juxtaposition of it makes it such a YUM for me, but I have to “responsible” because capitalism and food.

So I’ll end with a “Please check out MY latest science fantasy thing!” 9/9

Little Story about #HealthInsurance (cont):
Maybe, after Congress extends the ACA subsidies and resumes payments to ERs nationwide for abiding by the "no refusal of care" law that Regan passed, they could pass legislation converting the for-profit health industry into non-profit care.

What gave insurance companies the courage to increase premiums by 20%, 30%, and now 114%?

Congress didn't stop them.

Not state legislatures, not federal legislatures.

No laws with enforceable consequences that hit for-profit businesses right in their revenue.

Little story about #HealthInsurance (con't):
During the hullabaloo that was the anticipation of Obamacare being signed (3/23/2010), insurers warned us our rates would skyrocket because they now had to cover preexisting conditions. That "jump" was 14%.

2008 = 5%
2009 = 19%
2010 = 17%
2011 = 16%

Little story about #HealthInsurance (con't):
Now, insurers are threatening to raise premiums by 114%.

For context, my rates increased the most in:
2019 = 37%
2024 = 33%
2023 = 32%
2014 = 28%

Little story about #HealthInsurance (cont'):
In 2024, UHC posted $400 BILLION in revenue.*

*Nope, not going anywhere near the hellmouth that is denied claims. This is a rant against the unchecked rise in premiums across all insurers, regardless of participation in the ACA Exchange.
