It cost tax payers $1200 a month premiums for me to have $30 payments. Then I had a $6000 deductible. It is not "affordable Care",when taxpayers have to pay for $1200 monthly premiums for a single individual.
Sounds like blue cross blue shield from my company. I haven’t paid for health insurance since 2004…I pay the doctor direct for office visits. I learned this after the crash.
Medical care prices have generally grown faster than overall consumer prices since 2000. Health care cost inflation was just 3.3% in 2024. Did your old insurance cover pre-existing conditions? I could sell you coverage for just $100 dollars a month before the ACA was passed because I could sell insurance that really didn't cover anything or had low caps (example $50,000 per year). That isn't going to help you if you get cancer.
@@buffdoc46 you are absolutely correct. And the government makes the compliance and regulatory burden so high that small insurance companies are driven from the market leaving only those who can afford armies of lawyers and public relations professionals to comply with the onslaught of regs. And don’t get me started on price fixing of Medicare where providers jab commercial plans to make up for losses on the Medicare side. Bottom line, the system is broken!!
This is the first time I've ever heard this explained in a way that makes sense. My employer doesn't offer insurance, and ever since Obamacare started, I've chosen to be uninsured. I'm a single guy and financially I fall into a category that doesn't give me a discount from Obamacare. So instead of paying $10k a year in premiums, I decided to eat better food, exercise a little bit, and just stay healthy. I haven't been to the doctor in more than fifteen years, other than annual checkups that I pay for out of pocket, and I've saved a TON of money by doing it this way. Obama care did absolutely nothing for me... Or anyone else that I know, now that I think about it.
@@brando7266 Yes, I get that point. But I'd be curious to know how many of those people with pre-existing conditions can actually afford the premiums + deductibles to give them the opportunity to use the insurance... my guess would be, not very many.
And that’s exactly why I went with a private market PPO! The marketplace wanted to charge me $1.8K with a $15,000 deductible for my wife and 4 kids. I pay $1.2K with a $2.5K deductible instead. So glad I found a broker who could actually help me
I’ve never seen a claim denied. Usually doctors know whether insurance will pay or deny. But yea, premiums are high. And if you get a procedure, there is always the additional co-insurance from providers like anesthesia.
If you are going to tell it, tell it all. The Act was watered down by Conservatives in order for it to pass. Now, also imagine what it was like BEFORE the Affordable Care Act, when companies could deny you due to conditions that you already had.
Also, the administrators, who are more often than not, businessmen, are the ones making all of the decisions and making the most money, not the doctors. The system has become business centered instead of what it should be, which is patient centered.
I would NEVER advise anyone to go uninsured from a medical standpoint. If everyone followed this guys advice, they would not only reject "Obamacare", but also employer provided group health insurance coverage. The key is to find a plan that fits you and your family financially in terms of monthly cost, and cost at the medical facility. Most plans actually protect you from catastrophic medical bills if you choose wisely and abide by the plan rules. Not to mention the benefit many plans can provide in terms of prescription coverage. The anecdotal examples he gave don't apply to everyone on a macro level. Again, going uninsured can be risky, so talk with a "licensed and experienced" health insurance broker who can provide educated guidance, and then weigh your options and decide for yourself. Besides , there isn't a health insurance plan that will keep you healthy. Only God and you can do that. That would be my take.
Just had my 6 month old son circumcised. $15K… yes, $15K to cut off a piece of foreskin… anesthesia, urologist and the children hospital fees as it was considered a full surgery. Because he was preemie, we had to wait until he was at least 6 month or I would have had it done before we were discharge from hospital when I had him. thankfully, our deductible is super low and we met it when I had him. My husband works in big tech so our insurance is exceptionally good but I cannot imagine what some people must pay.
I'm agreeing with him, that happened to me too. It's cheaper than not to have a health insurance. If you're a healthy person, you might go throughout a year without seeing any doctor. You'll ended up having a lot money saving in your bank account instead of paying an insurance company for something that you not even needed or they might not even paying for your coverage anyway. The amount of money that you can save, you can use it for something else, it'll make you be more flexible in finances. One of the best thing that President Trump did in his first term was to get rid of the penalty for people who doesn't have health insurance. It was unconstitutional, US government can't not force US citizens to buy any goods or product.
I had to help a family member look for insurance on the obamacare websites... it was so expensive and yet they had health insurance through their work which kept their expensives at an affordable rate... mainly because the employer would look for the best coverage for the whole group.. employer and employees.... I used to work in the insurance industry.... the doctors and facilities don't get paid much . . So if you are paying cash they will give you a discount
I had Oscar for 2024.. they paid everything.. I paid no monthly fee and only a small percentage as a copay. For 2025, the same plan is now 1500$ per month, a higher co-pay, and a less total use coverage.. So... glad I got my big stuff done..
The insurance company also has to consider their staff and increasing their pay and benefits to keep pace with the other employers. I suspect that it would all work better if the government stayed OUT of this business.
Low income individuals get higher subsidies so they are able to afford low deductible high coverage plans. The federal government is paying most of their premiums.
A big part of what this gentleman missed is that government (both Fed and State) requires way to many services to be covered as part of every ACA plan sold.
"Money is the root of all evil," is a statement of willful ignorance! When you stop and think of it you can come up with several instances where evil occurs and has nothing to do with financial incentives or gain. However, the love of money can be the root of certain types of evil actions.
I think having an HSA where paying the amount I pay the same, and it is invested with an ability to withdraw for major medical would be prefered for me. I put about $100,000 into insurance (with employer support, it would have been about $150,000 - $200,000) -- as invested, that would have grown to $300k+ before needing to withdraw large amounts for family issues. Same for Social Security. I would rather that amount of money go to investments I choose.
You also have to have income to qualify for the premium tax credit. The PTC is the amount the Government pays towards your premium. However if your income is too low you don’t qualify for the PTC and you are referred to Medicaid. This year the plans premiums and deductible have gotten even higher and they are covering less. Medicare part B premiums are going up again in 2025. The Medicare Advantage plans and Prescription Drug Plans are also covering less. The system is not working.
I work in the insurance industry and I agree Obamacare is a joke does way more harm but this guys examples are extreme. A 30k deductible is very rare. Maybe for out of network but as for inn network it’s closer to 10k which is still high. A deductible plan is good if you do go to the doctors a lot and if you can meet it within the first few months of the year then it’s covered for the rest. But if you don’t go to the Dr often then don’t one. Just because your employer offers it you can get it privately
I gotta see this plan…usually its 7k per person…16k family deductible but clearly he doesn’t qualify for subsidies…( because he makes a descent living)…
Man Insurance sucked before Obama and it sucks after him... I will say that my mom was able to afford it based on her income.. She cldnt afford it before. That is the only good thing about it. I make a decent amount year so to get on it then it was almost the exact same as was coming out my check from the company I worked for. It didnt work for me because "I made too much" smh.

Shameful. He goes way out of his way to attack his own race. As a white dude, even I notice it and find it distasteful. Can someone remind this dude that he's black and always will be.
It’s called being a conservative. Just because he chooses to go against the majority of black folks? maybe he knows better. You guys probably think the same of Candace Owens.
Obamacare is law. Only an act of Congress can abolish it. When Republicans had the chance to do it during Trump's 1st term, McCain betrayed his own voters despite campaigning to abolish it & voted with Democrats. Part of the solution to Obamacare is allowing people to opt out of getting insurance without penalty. The Trump tax cuts law abolished the penalty imposed on people for not having health insurance. Clearly, more has to be done. But the current system created by Obamacare hasn't made healthcare affordable. Your beef should be with those who said they'd make healthcare affordable but only made things worse.
It is weird that I'm unable to see the comment I made & yet I keep getting notifications for every comment. Anyway, everyone else is making the same point I made. McCain scuttled the chance to overturn Obamacare because of his beef with Trump. This was despite campaigning to overturn it. Only an act of Congress would overturn. The question you should be asking is why healthcare hasn't become more affordable since the bill was forced down people's throats.
@@SamC379 no.. capitalism in any other industry isn’t an issue. People don’t need most other things to survive in which are capitalistic. Health care, which people need to survive, shouldn’t be making people go into debt over because the system is completely screwed up, even with insurance.
This information is incorrect. I own a company that assits clients with the most ACA plans in the country. This is misinformation and incorrect. Jason if you are about the truth then have me on the show to debate this gentleman with facts. I would love the opportunity to debate this topic. This gentleman is dead wrong about what he is saying. Please let me know if you would be interested in having a conversation about this. Again my company is licensed in all 54 US territories to do this, and I'm a subject matter expert. I love the show and listen to your content all the time. I do share a lot of your same views. I was disappointed to hear this gentleman speak on this incorrectly. The ACA is not great for everyone but is great for a large number of people. Many of which that have benefited greatly. If you are truly about truth I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you
this was totally a scam to enslave the American people under government control. That’s exactly what socialized medicine is. It’s not about healthcare. you wanna get healthcare prices down get government 100% out of it and let the free market thrive as intended. The ACA destroyed healthcare for 200 million Americans even those who had good union plans.
This guy is only telling an issue that people experience before the affordable care act I was Obama Care between Jobs and it was great. Jason interview someone from one of the rural white countries that didn't have anything before Obama Care Those counties depend on Obama Care. Jason stop with the Ball State 😅 no one cares 😅😅😅😅
@brando7266 depends on how you look at the situation. If your sick as a dog. Your still gona loose everthing because you can't work. How much is a life worth?
Which has nothing to do with insurance or how insurance works. I can't believe how many people claim this as an excuse. Pre existing conditions shouldn't be covered, and can't be covered by ANY insurance.
@alabamabarbie8357 u have a point, 😆, but I trust the democrats more than the Republicans, the Republicans only care about the insurance companies, ( corporations),
The government will be dismantling The Affordable Care Act. If you have a pre existing condition, good luck trying to find private insurance. The man talking here is full of shit. He doesn't talk about how much he makes a year. He might be making a million a year. Rich people complaining about prices. GTFOH
You are saying exactly what the Obamacare insurance companies hope you will say. Simply ship around and compare premiums versus copay/deductible versus % bill payments. Take the BEST deal for YOUR situation. NO NEED FOR DEBATE! Government cannot force citizens into choosing a $1200 insurance payment over your mortgage. More of us should be taught how to negotiate medical payments. Americans are free to make these financial decisions - for better or worse!
@@EKU519no he’s not. My “Obamacare” silver plan just went up $300 for next year. $10,000 out of pocket. I will be paying over $1000 a month for a shitty plan that hardly covers anything. Unfortunately I need coverage and can’t go without. It’s tremendously difficult for us to cover our monthly costs already, now I have to find an extra $300. I have over $35,000 worth of medical debt, accumulated in a few years, by simply using my medical insurance to get a few necessary minor surgeries/scans/bloodwork/labs. I don’t know where $35,000 is going to come from, let alone the monthly payments I now have to make. This current system is not sustainable or fair in any way. Obamacare is a huge burden and complete disaster.
@@stemulatedstudents I'm sure unless you're a millionaire if something serious happens you couldn't afford a surgery that's the reason for insurance. That was a 4 day stay at that price. Of course I needed help with it & the average American would also.

Check this out: most colleges pay 100 percent of the staff teaching or office workers' insurance claim, 100 percent and a lot of politicians' wives teach.
At a LITTLE under 2 minutes, Jason looks uninformed..... (Ghastly Deed) Painfully, you are sitt there being the "Boy" as opposed to.... There's a DEFINITIVE Reason you're NOT welcomed back to Prospect.....😮😅😅😅😅
Idk where you guys are getting your monthly premiums from, but it's way too high. Mine's not even $300 a month and I have medical prescriptions that I need monthly that would cost thousands of $$ that with insurance are $30 WITHOUT me meeting my deductible.
You get a subsidy obviously and don’t have kids.
How much do you earn a year? The less you make the more the government subsidizes.
I could ask you the same because my son’s premium and deductibles are insane.
I simply dont believe $300
This guy trashed MLK now Obama. His pandering is over the top. Trump got a job for this house boy
Shameful. He goes way out of his way to attack his own race. As a white dude, even I notice it and find it distasteful. Can someone remind this dude that he's black and always will be.
It’s called being a conservative. Just because he chooses to go against the majority of black folks? maybe he knows better. You guys probably think the same of Candace Owens.
That Zoid sitting there telling lies. LMAO
Huh?
Capitalism is the love of money not service 😂😂
Industries like the health industry should not be allowed to make profits.
@@Kyleterp1
We call that communism and it doesn't work
Lets see how Trump is going to handle it. Wait he didn't do s**t the last time
You act like Kamala was going to do something. Everyone is making too much money to want to fix this situation.
Obamacare is law. Only an act of Congress can abolish it. When Republicans had the chance to do it during Trump's 1st term, McCain betrayed his own voters despite campaigning to abolish it & voted with Democrats. Part of the solution to Obamacare is allowing people to opt out of getting insurance without penalty. The Trump tax cuts law abolished the penalty imposed on people for not having health insurance. Clearly, more has to be done. But the current system created by Obamacare hasn't made healthcare affordable. Your beef should be with those who said they'd make healthcare affordable but only made things worse.
McCain cast the deciding vote to keep Obamacare.
Remember McCain,
It is weird that I'm unable to see the comment I made & yet I keep getting notifications for every comment. Anyway, everyone else is making the same point I made. McCain scuttled the chance to overturn Obamacare because of his beef with Trump. This was despite campaigning to overturn it. Only an act of Congress would overturn. The question you should be asking is why healthcare hasn't become more affordable since the bill was forced down people's throats.
Not so much
WTF? What does that even mean?
The health care industry should not be able to make profits.
You mean like communism ?
Then why spend 500k going to medical school to become a Dr?
@@SamC379 no.. capitalism in any other industry isn’t an issue. People don’t need most other things to survive in which are capitalistic. Health care, which people need to survive, shouldn’t be making people go into debt over because the system is completely screwed up, even with insurance.
@@hollihawk1 the cost of education is a different issue, but to actually want to help people. I
Whitlock needs to sign up for trumpcare , and see where that gets you
😂Concept-Healthcare
This information is incorrect. I own a company that assits clients with the most ACA plans in the country. This is misinformation and incorrect. Jason if you are about the truth then have me on the show to debate this gentleman with facts. I would love the opportunity to debate this topic. This gentleman is dead wrong about what he is saying. Please let me know if you would be interested in having a conversation about this. Again my company is licensed in all 54 US territories to do this, and I'm a subject matter expert. I love the show and listen to your content all the time. I do share a lot of your same views. I was disappointed to hear this gentleman speak on this incorrectly. The ACA is not great for everyone but is great for a large number of people. Many of which that have benefited greatly. If you are truly about truth I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you
this was totally a scam to enslave the American people under government control. That’s exactly what socialized medicine is. It’s not about healthcare. you wanna get healthcare prices down get government 100% out of it and let the free market thrive as intended. The ACA destroyed healthcare for 200 million Americans even those who had good union plans.
This guy is only telling an issue that people experience before the affordable care act I was Obama Care between Jobs and it was great. Jason interview someone from one of the rural white countries that didn't have anything before Obama Care Those counties depend on Obama Care. Jason stop with the Ball State 😅 no one cares 😅😅😅😅
It protects people with pre- existing conditions,
All it states is you can't be denied. You may have to pay $30,000 before anything is paid.
@alabamabarbie8357 still better than going bankrupt,
@brando7266 depends on how you look at the situation. If your sick as a dog. Your still gona loose everthing because you can't work. How much is a life worth?
Which has nothing to do with insurance or how insurance works.
I can't believe how many people claim this as an excuse. Pre existing conditions shouldn't be covered, and can't be covered by ANY insurance.
@alabamabarbie8357 u have a point, 😆, but I trust the democrats more than the Republicans, the Republicans only care about the insurance companies, ( corporations),
You are the worst hater on social media.
The government will be dismantling The Affordable Care Act. If you have a pre existing condition, good luck trying to find private insurance. The man talking here is full of shit. He doesn't talk about how much he makes a year. He might be making a million a year. Rich people complaining about prices. GTFOH
You are saying exactly what the Obamacare insurance companies hope you will say.
Simply ship around and compare premiums versus copay/deductible versus % bill payments. Take the BEST deal for YOUR situation.
NO NEED FOR DEBATE! Government cannot force citizens into choosing a $1200 insurance payment over your mortgage.
More of us should be taught how to negotiate medical payments. Americans are free to make these financial decisions - for better or worse!
@stukksmith122 then we should do away with Obamacare and keep The Affordable Care Act.
Dont tell me Christian obama lied😂 christians lie?😂😂😂
No, but muslims have taqqiya
@@Badazvegan how lost are you that you think Obama is or was ever a Christian?
@ if im lost, then why did so many christians elect him. In a christian country😂 is that the height of your christian intelligence is being oblivious😂
@ is kamal a biden real christians or fake ones? I cant tell the difference😂
@ why cant i ever find a accountable christian 😂
Wasn't Trump supposed to have fixed this when he was president the first time???
Do you remember John McCain voted it down, showing his thumbs down that scumbag went to his grave.
No support from Congress.
Yes but McCain stabbed him in the back
You obviously have no clue how government works and watches rachel maddow
@@bletchdroshek5984he tried to abolish it, but McCain didn't let him, ps- rump is with the insurance companies,not the people,
This guy is a hack😂😂
How so?
@bletchdroshek5984 he is inflating and over exaggerating numbers
@@EKU519Hes just exposing Obama for the fraud he is
@@EKU519 how do you know?
@@EKU519no he’s not. My “Obamacare” silver plan just went up $300 for next year. $10,000 out of pocket. I will be paying over $1000 a month for a shitty plan that hardly covers anything. Unfortunately I need coverage and can’t go without. It’s tremendously difficult for us to cover our monthly costs already, now I have to find an extra $300. I have over $35,000 worth of medical debt, accumulated in a few years, by simply using my medical insurance to get a few necessary minor surgeries/scans/bloodwork/labs. I don’t know where $35,000 is going to come from, let alone the monthly payments I now have to make. This current system is not sustainable or fair in any way. Obamacare is a huge burden and complete disaster.
Im diabetic and the ACA is the only reason i can afford my insulin but u morons complain aboutit eventho republicans dont have a better plan smfh
I had a 1.1 million dollar surgery & only paid 1600 copay. The surgery was a complete spine fusion in South Florida. This guy not on point.
You're an exception
First off why should other people pay for your surgery? And you do understand that insurance inflates the cost of procedures...?
That works for you😂😂😂😂😂....have the other insurers pay the 1.1 million 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Of course your happy😂😂😂
@@stemulatedstudents I'm sure unless you're a millionaire if something serious happens you couldn't afford a surgery that's the reason for insurance. That was a 4 day stay at that price. Of course I needed help with it & the average American would also.
@@Boseman7 like I just explained I'm not a millionaire so I needed help but it seems that you guys on here are & could pay for your own surgery unfortunately I couldn't.
You SUCK, Whitlock!
my insurance was 1500 and covered everything prior to my retirement. obamacare subsidises 1800 and i have deductibles higher than the dr's, "I walked in off the street prices." what are they doing. Go DOGE
Amen
