But can you actually blame Biden for this? COVID is a serious issue, and a global issue, as I said, it overloaded the entire medical system in the US, you had hospital visit spike 2-300% during COVID, If Biden doesn't expand the American Rescue Plan Act, first of all, America will still be living under COVID recovery,, second of all, million of people, mostly elderly and child will be dead, or slum with life time debt for things that not really brought on by the own.
Simply saying there was no choice for anything that happened post-COVID, it's a damn if you do, damn if you don't situation. Had Trump won in 2020, it would have to be the same plan; otherwise, we are all doomed. Because you can't reboot the economy after 2 years of stagnation without any stimulation, it's going to take decades if the 1920 financial crisis taught us anything.
If the majority of people on ACA is 400% of the poverty line, then you will have a point. The fact is, as I show you from the census bureau, it's not, it's 40 grand below that.
And it's either both parents earn 42k to make it an 84K household (or any variation of that split) or a single working unit in that family earning that amount. If that is the case, you don't just cover yourself and your kids; it will be with your partner, who doesn't work as well. That's not going to be $4500 a year, and the ACA premium is below 4000 before this, where it doubles or triples the premium
As for who's to blame? Again, I mean this is government service, it's the same as those soybean farmers got F'ed by the current admin because they are selling nothing to China and are losing money hand over foot, because they were promised harvest insurance via the USDA, which now does not pay out until 2026, can you blame the farmer who plants nothing but soybeans?..... I don't think we can really blame the people using government service, again, either don't have them, or fund them if the government wants to keep them, doing things like this in the middle is probably the stupidest decision this admin can make.
