Why is this charging premiums at all instead of just being zero out of pocket costs paid for by taxes. https://twitter.com/TopherSpiro/status/966641297820930049
Ill dig more into this when i get back and look at it with my policy goggles
@Laurelai The CfAP seems to be pretty solidly actual-progressive, from what I can tell. https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Center_for_American_Progress
So, maybe this should be one of several litmus tests in the upcoming election: "Do you support at least this plan, if not some form of universal free healthcare?"
prohibited how ?
@kaniini By law i assume
how would such a law be constitutional though
@kaniini theres no constitutional right to make a profit on suffering
while true, the government doesn't get to pick winners and losers
@kaniini Sure we do, we do it all the time with subsidies and penalties
what i am saying is that it's pandering to the democratic base and the insurance mafia will challenge the constitutionality of that law immediately and probably win
i like my laws like i like everything else: built to last
Ok this wants to make CHIP federal so states cant ignore it anymore, thats something.
