Dear @RepJeffries, pls do not extend the PTC. That money goes directly to the big insurance companies. The law allows them to keep 15pct of the 26b as profit. But it gets worse.
They can game that number with their subsidiaries.
They will deny care and make patients fight to get the care they need.
With or without the PTC the deductibles are unaffordable, and the max patient OOP is worse. If you can't pay the deductible, all you did is give the money for free to the insurance companies that we should break up
What should we do ? See my next week for some suggestions
Leader Jeffries: We also need to extend the ACA tax credits, which have resulted in tens of millions of folks losing health care or being forced to pay premiums that, in some cases, have increased by up to $1000 or more a month. These are working class Americans, or middle-class Americans, who are having to bear the brunt of this dramatic increase in health care costs.
