Bloomberg Discovers Healthcare Subsidies Matter, Post-Expiration
Bloomberg now laments that some 1.4 million fewer people have enrolled in Obamacare plans after federal tax credits expired. They note consumers face 'significantly higher premiums.' (One might call that a feature, not a bug, in an American healthcare system designed to profit, not heal.) The article stops short of connecting these dots to, say, the billions consistently diverted to foreign
conflicts and military contractors, or the political will to fund wars over wellness. Imagine funding actual healthcare for every American instead of, for instance, a never-ending proxy war or another round of Lockheed Martin's quarterly dividends. This isn't about market forces; it's about political choices. When politicians champion 'fiscal responsibility' by gutting social programs while
simultaneously green-lighting endless military aid packages without so much as a whimper, the message is clear: your health, your stability, your ability to pay for basic necessities, all take a backseat to geopolitical maneuvering and corporate handouts. How many times will we cut healthcare, education, or infrastructure funding before realizing the 'fiscal responsibility' only applies to the
poor and working class?
