New York Times: “Buried in the fine print of Obamacare regulations, the Trump administration is floating a novel idea for those who can’t afford to shell out tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket medical costs.”

“Why not borrow the money from your health insurance company?”

“In the dense 1,121-page final rule issued last month about how the Affordable Care Act market will operate next year, the administration suggested that insurers consider offering loans to cash-strapped customers.”

1. If the next democratic president doesnt pass single payer we might be in even more serious trouble than we already are

2. Who's going to run the debtors' prisons for all the borrowers unable to pay back the loans?

Which would be nearly everyone.

😒

3. "Bullets are cheaper."

That would be the MAGA motto for this issue.

4. We already have that in Illinois, it's called care credit

I have used it to have dental work done.. the amounts are pretty small, like $5000 and under

If you pay it off before two years, there’s no interest but if it isn’t the interest is added from the first day

That being said health care is too damn high!

5. First of all

What happened to Don T Care ?

Are they planning to change the ACA with the ‘ dense 1,121-page final rule ‘ to destroy the ACA ?

And are health insurance providers now loan companies ? Obviously they’re making too much $$ from ‘ health care ‘

😑
