This has got to be one of the most incoherent posts I've read on this forum. Not even worth doing an autopsy on. Just mark it D.O.A. and move on.

Not just that, it's a lot harder to track and pinpoint errors in a video. And not just that. Why spend the time watching this stuff if the same arguments can be read in a fraction of the time?

Well, if your dentist says so, it must be true. Except that dentistry is largely unregulated. So how would Obamacare affect its costs? "Through the roof": The impact of rising costs on dentistry Sept. 16, 2022 "Practice operating costs are going up, in some cases through the roof. Yet the insurance companies aren’t really responsive to that." Read exclusive commentary on what the ADA is hoping to do for dentists. The ADA Health Policy Institute (HPI) released new data showing sharp increases in the costs of operating dental practices, while insurance reimbursements remained flat—or even decreased. Roughly 1 in 4 have seen the costs of supplies and materials increase by at least 20% 47% of dentists reported that lab fees increased more than 1-10% 44% of dentists reported staff wages had increased by more than 1-10% 1 in 4 dentists reported that their insurance reimbursements decreased https://www.dentistryiq.com/dentistry/article/14282852/how-much-are-rising-costs-impacting-dentistry Dental insurance isn’t a scam — but it’s also not insurance Dental coverage has been off in its little — largely unregulated — corner, too. According to the American Dental Association, one-third of adults aged 19 to 64 don’t have any benefits at all. (For comparison, just 8.4 percent of Americans lack health insurance.) Many patients put off dental care and cite cost as the main reason they don’t go to the dentist — including those who are insured. https://www.vox.com/23901293/dentist-delta-dental-insurance-cigna-aspen-metlife-aetna

The ACA's Medicaid provisions allowed New York to utilization federal funding to expand Medicaid to everyone with incomes up to 138% of poverty. New York went a step further than most other states by implementing the ACA's Basic Health Program, which covers people with income a little too high for Medicaid. https://www.healthinsurance.org/medicaid/new-york/

Whatnonsense. Are you seriously belaboring the point that subsidized health insurance costs the government money and that if the program expands it will cost the government more? The article I cited addressed the costs to those elgible for the program. To pretend otherwise is just an act of desperation on your part.

And of course, while she's looking for a job and then waiting up to 90 days for coverage to kick in, apparently WhatMeWorry thinks it's perfectly OK either to go without health insurance or spend a punishing amount for it.

I have posted the text twice and that's enough.. I hate to use cliches but all I have left to say Is that I can post it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
-
Certainly people who couldn't afford health insurance before should be grateful to the Democrats.
-
Given the extraordinarily high cost of insurance in the USA, coupled with fat deductibles, health insurance isn't affordable to millions of middle class Americans. Obamacare, especially as augmented by the previous congress, has made it affordable or even free to people who previously would have had to pay.
-
It is. You have to work really hard to read this a "Biden has already vastly lowered the cost of Obamacare and made it far more affordable to middle class Americans." s referring to anything but the cost of it to Americans eligible for it. Your comment is characteristically ridiculous.
-
Well, I go with what there is. And these polls are done at a very high standard. If you go to the reports you can read all about the protocols. Anyway, the point is what you['re doing it handicapping political parties and their prospects. It seems dubious that there's going to be more of the same. If elections ever are held.
-
I will post this again in the probably vain hope that you will either finally read it, or, if you have done that, finally understand it. "Biden’s Covid relief bill, the American Rescue Plan, “dramatically expands the financial subsidies” available to help Obamacare enrollees purchase private insurance plans on ACA exchanges “both in terms of those eligible and how much they receive,” Gaba noted. An estimated 2 million more people became eligible to purchase Obamacare plans at low cost because of the ARP. The law also eliminated the cap that zeroed out subsidies for Obamacare plans for households that earned more than four times the federal poverty level." https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/18/obamacare-enrollment-hits-record-high-after-biden-makes-changes.html

I cited a fact. It's a fact because it has already occurred. What you offer is a prediction. Now, if you have proof you're a time traveler, you've made an excellent point. Otherwise, you've got nothing.
-
I can't say whether you read the articles or not. But if you did, you clearly didn't understand the plain English of the text. "Biden’s Covid relief bill, the American Rescue Plan, “dramatically expands the financial subsidies” available to help Obamacare enrollees purchase private insurance plans on ACA exchanges “both in terms of those eligible and how much they receive,” Gaba noted. An estimated 2 million more people became eligible to purchase Obamacare plans at low cost because of the ARP.

No, I'm not looking at it from a wrong angle. I'm just not looking at it from just a political party angle. I'm looking at it from an angle of where popular sentiment lies. And the populace has clearly moved away from supporting the core positions of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. It used to be that Hamas was reckoned to excel at providing government services. But it has lost its support even in that. Granted, as a report from that organization shows, there usually is an upsurge of support when Israel attacks. But even at the height of the upsurge, the support isn't what it used to be. The trend is downwards no matter what the fluctuations may be.

I asked you for evidence. You replied "After you". But I already have provided evidence. You've provided nothing. Which is because you have nothing.

In most countires, developed and otherwise, health insurance isn't tied to employment. That's in countries that offer health insurance. In some countries health care is government financed.
-
I made no claim. You did.
-
Got any proof to back up your claim?

How Trump gave insurance companies free rein to sell bad health plans Obamacare wasn’t repealed. Trump’s deregulation is eroding it anyway. https://www.vox.com/2020/6/30/21275498/trump-obamacare-repeal-short-term-health-care-insurance-scam
