It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things. This is literally the opposite of what he ran on.

How much did you pay in 2015 though?
How much of your increased payment is because of Trump et al?
These are rounded to the nearest 1k.
In 2012 i paid 6k a yr In 2015 i paid 12k In 2018 i paid 18k In 2021 i paid 23k In 2023 it was 29k This year is 36k.
From from 2004-2010 my plan went up about 5% a yr. After 2010, my insurance went up about 20% a year. The only difference was the ACA, and it was talked about a lot in the years. The trade off was people who could afford healthcare or has there own business should pay more to cover the subsidized people who couldn't afford it. It actually caused a significant amount of people to take pay cuts, increased premiums, or refuse insurance and just take the tax penalty. I took the tax penalty for 2 years because i couldn't afford the increase in rates at first. I assisted my rates i charge my customers and i was able to get back on after 2 years.
What has trump done to change healthcare prices? As far as me personally he got rid of the penalty which saved friends i know a few thousand a year. Other than that, not anything else because the prices have continued to go up faster than inflation. Biden was the same to, but the rates going up so much was probably due to covid because I'm not aware is any policies he did that would have effected the rates.
The Trump admin, for both terms, has attacked the ACA causing the prices to skyrocket by making it harder to get coverage.
This is by design.
Premiums are up as much as 150% in places.
It’s wild you’re saying he didn’t do anything to the prices but point at presidents who attempted to sure it up.
The ACA sucks relative to the idea of Medicare for all BUT it’s not the reason your insurance costs so much.
