    I used the ACA until 2020 and it was garbage insurance with high deductibles that didn't cover shit

      The California Medicare, "Medi-Cal" is infinite better than all of the terrible federal plans. I've had to go to the doctor 3 times since I've been on it and didn't pay a dime. I went to emergency for a broken a rib, didn't pay a dime, had a $15 Norco prescription. My brother had all his doctor visits, biopsies, scans, blood work, and everything but the actual chemo pill ($65/mo using Mark Cubans online pharmacy.) California fuckin blows in a lot of ways and while there is absolutely room for improvement for some of it, it's actually a usable system IF you qualify (poor/disabled/minor.)

      There is talks of expanding it to more people and I really hope they do.

        I honestly assumed this was some sort of scam due to being associated with the Shark Tank guy. Have your brother's experiences been mostly positive? My FIL is undergoing chemo, as well, so it would he awesome if this could lower the costs for him.

          Yeah it's actually legit. Honestly the only good thing I can say about the guy is he saw a wedge in the market where he only charges an extra I think a flat 10-20% of the medications. Obviously he is still profiting but compared to all other pharmacies it's pretty much the best for life saving medications

    I'd love to see whatever warlock shit Biden's team did to come up with that figure. Of course, it's all talk about premiums and insurance which ISN'T FUCKING HEALTHCARE :jokerfied:

    Isn't this literally what Trump said? I remember libs going absolutely wild when he said it.

    This story, lol. It's astounding what a super power it is to remember events that happened further than last week.

      lmao and in there it's '12 bucks [a month] for 'young people''

      Biden somehow managed to be more egregious with his lie than one of the most openly brazen serial liars lmao (4 out of 5 Americans could pay about 10 a month vs Young Americans pay 12 a month)

        Trump always made an attempt to have some slick plausible deniability in his lies, which made him sound guilty. Or he just rambled on about something and libs would put words in there to try to decipher it or something. Biden is a much better liar because he just says shit that's obviously false and powers through.

    Four out of five Americans CAN find quality absolutely terrible bare minimum coverage for under $10 a month.

    Let's say even just this last part is true, and people are still paying ridiculous premiums each month for the opportunity to have a really high deductible -- how in the hell is what Biden is doing putting people in a good place
