My Trump Story - Things I Think About

@WuWei

Listen to yourself.

The problem is those not paying into it.

You don’t know how insurance works… and it shows.

[Oldandtired]

Didn’t see him doing anything to prevent it. In fact at the being biden said it only a minor incursion. Nothing to worry about.

Trump reduced the individual mandate, which was the unConstitutional part, to $0.

Not a great solution, but what could be done.

This is a stream of consciousness thread.

Since the mandate was unenforceable, most people simply lied on their 1040 to avoid paying the penalty. To my knowledge, the IRS never came after anyone for doing that, but technically, we© were all in violation of Federal law. Repealing the mandate didn’t fix the ACA, but it was absolutely the right thing to do.

Repealing the individual mandate made ACA worse. Insurance is cheaper when more healthy people pay into it than unhealthy.

Your opinion is noted. Forcing healthy people to buy health insurance to pay for the treatment of unhealthy people is absurd.

Are you new to how insurance works? Insurance only works when you have healthy/safe people paying premiums that cover unhealthy/risky people

I’m forced to buy car insurance… even though I’ve never been in an accident or had a moving violation.

Mandatory car insurance is to protect other people, not to protect you or to reduce the cost of insurance. Health insurance is to protect you. If you don’t want to be protected, you should not be forced to do so.

The Democrat Party largely has nothing but vitriol and contempt for conservative Americans and absolutely would love the country to be without us in it.

Agreed. You get a small dose frequently even on this forum. Spend an hour with MessNbc or the circus news network sometime. Those clowns hate us.

That is not true. I long for the days of the pre Trump conservatives… we need balance politically in this country. However the MAGA republicans are too large of a contingent with too little to offer. The rights fringe is way larger than the left fringe and that’s the problem.

Let go of Trump and we can begin to go back to healthier political debates over policy and not over who’s owning the libz the best.

Doesn’t even make sense. If we hated them, why would we come here?

Oppo.

[Oldandtired]

The left fringe has been in control of the democrat party since obama. And they could care less about getting along with the other side of the aisle. Or dividing the country. That is why there is no longer a balance in DC. When the only moderate democrat left in DC decides to pack and go home you know that the leftist fringe has won and the party is going to go full on fascist.

You can probably name the MAGA Republicans here on one hand. Your problem is that you accuse anyone who doesn’t hate Trump of being a MAGA.

■■■■ … Now you’ve got me doing it … using MAGA as a noun.

What?

Car insurance absolutely protects me. And it protects my car.

Having less risky people pay the premiums for the more risky people. That’s literally a key tenant of insurance.

Why does this need to be explained?

I do know exactly how it works. Everything you said is true… and not the point. Let me help:

Obamacare is ■■■■ insurance, unless you are getting a subsidy. In which case you are not paying for your own insurance, I am.

It is ■■■■ compared to what most companies offer. True. But it is better than nothing for a vast majority of the uninsured.

Part of the reason (not the only) why it is currently ■■■■ is because the mandate is gone.

@PurpnGold

Only with a subsidy. I was uninsured for a year. Obamacare was the first place I looked. It was garbage.

I have no doubt it was garbage compared to your previous job.

Was there something out there better than ACA? Maybe COBRA but that’s very expensive I’ve heard. But at least you keep your previous employers plan.

[WuWei]

No comparison to anything. It was just garbage. And very expensive.

[PurpnGold]

@WuWei

Sure. Was there anything better out there?

Wait a min, aren’t you on tricare? That’s the best insurance I’ve ever seen.

No. It makes you capable if paying for damage you cause to others. It protects them.

[WuWei]

Obviously, I found it. Why did I even have to look?

Of course you didn’t. You didn’t even look.

It’s ok though sending lethal weapons to Ukraine totally didn’t lead to this.

Which protects me…

Otherwise, without it… I’m laying out of pocket for the entire amount. My assets might also be in jeopardy.

Car Insurance protects me.

[Oldandtired]

You are as wrong as can be. But when you belong to the cult of biden you will defend anything the senile old man says.
Minor incursion nothing to worry about that is what your old pervert said.
