Health carriers are in the process of setting rates for 2021.

If carriers must recoup 2020 costs,price for the same level of costs next year, and protect their solvency,

2021 premium increases to individuals and employers from COVID-19alone could range from 4 percent to more than 40 percent.

National Health Care anyone. Get ready for your beloved for-profit healthcare to get even more expense to you and your business.

Health insurance has increased by 400% since Obamacare came on the scene. Sounds like the trend will continue, but with a new reason for increasing prices added to the mix.

Watch for New York to ask all of us to grant them a huge bailout. That Sanctuary state is treating thousands of illegal aliens, who have no insurance, for covid-19. Probably the same with California.

As opposed to Nationalized health care, which will take 40% of everybody's paycheck to make sure that we will have health care for nobody, as it will also close half of our hospitals.

Not gonna happen.

It's been happening and will continue to happen. I havent had Insurance since ACA went live. Had an excellent plan I never even got to use. Cant remember if it was 28 bucks a week or 28 every paycheck. But now that I'm getting up in mod 40's I would like to have it but its worthless now.

If I get something bad I will stay home and die before I go pay into the corrupt medical industry. Would rather that than lose everything to medical bills.

That makes perfect sense.

You'll show them!

Personally if I wanted to stick it to them I would run up big bills, then die, but maybe your way will work better.

This way I pass on my home and everything to the kids instead of the hospitals

Again no facts - just made up stuff.

If you 'know' this is true surely you have some meager support for it?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours?

In the UK we are taxed 21% of earning upto £35000 with the first £12000 being tax free, that money then pays for hospitals, police, fire, binmen and other services, not such a bad deal in my eyes

but hey socialism leads to communism, communism leads to anger, anger leads to hate and all that, scary for most Americans on ATS, not sure where someone pulled 40% maybe they not thinking clearly and wanted to exaggerate because it fits their narrative

So first £12000 is all mine, then i am taxed 21% of upto £23000 which would be £4830 per year, anyone got health insurance for less than that? and to add children dont have to pay anything and no cost for their parents, so If a typical household 2 adults and 2 children, both parents working and paying a total of £4830 x 2 = £9660 to have health care for themselves and both children and also pay for police, libraries, firmen, binman etc, with the ability to walk into any hospital on any day and be given the treatment required with no questions asked and solely based on medical need not wallet size

I love the NHS

Sounds like predatory profiteering using the crisis as an excuse to me.

Personally i’d take my chances with an African tribal witch doctor before America’s system.
