The undocumented immigrant issue the on which the President is so focused pales in contrast to our current healthcare crisis. The wealthy are comfortable, the poor have Medicaid, but so many working Americans are struggling to pay for health insurance. Thanks to EMTALA and the beneficence of care providers, Americans in need of urgent care will receive that care, regardless of insurance coverage or ability to pay. But hospitals providing that care have expenses, and those seeing a significant number of “private pay” patients are already struggling to maintain financial viability. Just this week Heights University Hospital in Jersey CIty closed its doors, and recently Crozer Chester Medical Center in Delaware County, PA, closed. More closures will follow if we continue on our current course. It is sad that many of our citizens may not be able to afford health insurance and at the same time our healthcare systems are having difficulty remaining financially viable. Unfortunately our President and Congress, who all have excellent healthcare plans, seemingly have no interest in devising any solution to our current crisis of health insurance becoming unaffordable for many and an increasing percentage of uninsured Americans stressing the financial health of healthcare organizations.
My affordable care policy is now $573 per mo. & a middling plan at that. I filed self-employment taxes for my small company in early March and was dinged for having a health care subsidy. In addition, my taxes are nearly $10k on under $40k earnings.
Time to end the falsehoods……the only reasons social security and Medicare look bad ….is number one …the rich assholes need to pay more in taxes as in back to Eisenhower days . Secondly Republicans took monies from social security but never returned it . And as a sidenote …. Democrats wanted to fully support seniors with 100 percent Medicare coverage…. Republicans said no way it needs to be fifty fifty ….they negotiated and got Republicans to agree on 20 percent but then insurance companies seen a way to insure that 20 percent….buy a policy . Gggrrrr!! So without the rich paying as Eisenhower seen to charge the rich . We are where we are to date . There is no reason for morbidly rich …..rich is ok not morbidly rich . Privatized former government led is a ripoff . Research why the rich were taxed at high levels….see what was accomplished back then . Hell even ask Robert Reich about it . Then try and tell me I am not telling the truths . Wake the fuck up America….then stay WOKE
