Biden, as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, largely resolved these problems, reducing maximum premium payments (net of subsidies) and eliminating the cliff at 400 percent. The result is to make health insurance coverage substantially more affordable, especially for middle-income Americans who previously earned too much to be eligible for subsidies. Hence the surge in marketplace enrollments.

    I am losing Medicaid starting March 1st because I make $131 a month too much SSDI and am fully disabled. There are 40 million more Americas just like me and there is no solution.

      There is a solution. Universal healthcare. There just isn’t the political will. I’m sorry you’re losing Medicaid. I hope you don’t have any chronic health conditions.

        Yeah, and we’ve been trying since Teddy Roosevelt. But hey, at least there’s the political will to support Netanyahu’s genocide. That’s way more important than whatever piddly nonsense poor sick people want.

      Sorry to hear that. The Republican-controlled house of congress is so dysfunctional that I can’t imagine their fixing it before you lose coverage.
