Bloomberg Discovers Healthcare is Expensive When Subsidies Expire
Bloomberg reports that Obamacare premiums are set to "rise sharply" as enhanced subsidies expire, potentially leaving millions without affordable coverage. What the financial pundits won't highlight is that this isn't some unforeseen market fluctuation; it's a feature, not a bug, of a system designed to funnel public money to private insurers, all while avoiding the 'radical' idea of M4A. We're
effectively subsidizing corporate profits, then acting shocked when the subsidies disappear and the bill lands squarely on the public. While Congress scrambles to 'find funding' for healthcare for its own citizens, one might wonder where their priorities truly lie. In 2023 alone, Congress approved an additional $14.3 billion in security assistance to Israel. Just last year, Senators like Bob
Menendez, a recipient of over $1 million from the 'pro-Israel' lobby over his career , voted for measures prioritizing such aid. Perhaps if healthcare corporations rebranded themselves as geostrategic assets in the Middle East, our lawmakers would find their wallets faster.
