Cancer Patient Sees 700% Premium Hike, US Funds Wars Instead
Johana Scott's premium for the same plan jumped from $200 to $1,725 a month after ACA subsidies lapsed, leaving her fearing death. Her story isn't unique; millions grapple with a healthcare system designed to extract wealth, not save lives. Yet, just weeks ago, Congress easily passed a $95 billion foreign aid package, including billions for military assistance to Israel and Ukraine, with barely a
budget whisper of concern for American citizens. While voters are told domestic spending is constrained, the political class consistently prioritizes geopolitical maneuvering and military budgets over the lives of its own citizens. (Perhaps Johana simply isn't strategically important enough to be 'aided'.) The 'fiscally responsible' argument conveniently vanishes when missiles, tanks, and foreign
lobbying interests are involved. One might wonder about their true constituents.
