Donal Trump doesn't know the difference between health insurance and life insurance, it seems. Please RT.

and had a very low annual cap on what the insurance would pay for. If any sort of surgery or major expense would be needed you're not covered. That garbage would have a low premium.

The company I retired from thought that the employee match on the corporate insurance was only about $10 a month. These executive types just everything from what they do. That was all he had to pay for a no deductible on anything no copay on anything. Including eyes and hearing aides and full dental.

They have never been at the bottom of the food chain. They just do not know.

I was only 25 then and at the time this was a lot of money.

Just another example of how out of touch the drumpster fire is. He has no clue how people are struggling out there and why the ACA came to be because of medical bill bankrupticies. I heard that they have gone way down since the ACA. I guess Putin wants the AmericN people to become indentured servants to debt.

My parents used to pay for their own hmo out of pocket then it became in the 80's more expensive. Luckily my Dad got a job with the city that paid for his and my mother's healthcare and I had a job that paid for my mine then. I am shocked at how many people I know who no longer get company paid healthcare.

You're great to your share first-person experience on this subject - especially with those of us not quite old enough to remember cost-of-living trends from that far back.

Your anecdote matches what I've heard from my parents: that under Reagan, energy inflation declined (thanks mostly to Carter's energy policy, which popped the OPEC bubble) - but that inflation on services tended to far outstrip wage hikes.

My personal recollection of the Dubya regime, as far as health/insurance, is that those costs - which seemed to be under control under Clinton - more than doubled in the 2000s.

Wages, of course, barely budged.

The last year before the ACA kicked in I paid $1,000 a month for an individual policy, which was obviously inferior to ACA coverage.

is over $1000 per month. For just me.

I'm terrified at how high it could go if the Republicans get their way.

Put aside $12 a month (note: he did say "year&quot for 50 years and let
the equity build, then you get health care?

They're ready to steal everything we own

makes me think of GHWB and the taxes and grocery scanners

I mean, it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?"

is an ignorant self-involved man. He has no qualifications for the job he now holds.

an admission he is president which is painful. Maybe I'll resort to 'it'

My best bet is he's heard a Gerber infant LIFE insurance commercial recently, because Gerber runs around $12 a month for new babies, and is advertised towards grandparents on daytime television. Gerber Whole Life is fairly cheap, because babies are pretty cheap to insure and don't require very large policies (they don't usually have mortgages or children to put through college).

But it's a ridiculous number.

That's where he gets all of his misinformation.

how much I a gallon of milk is or how much $20 buys in food now at days? Some forget or NEVER had to rob Peter to pay Paul.

Just remember not everyone has access to farmer's markets at least in the area I live in. It is on a week night evening most working poor I know are working to go.

Some have to decide (like elderly people I once worked for.) Do they buy food or keep the lights on? Friends a single mother she had to pick medicine for her cold or giving the her child the money to participate in a school activity.

This is a fucked up country. My friend lives in France and she says her biggest nightmare is having to come back to live in America. She is not rich but between her husband's full time job and her part time job they live VERY comfortably.

Totally clueless as to what average Americans face. Just completely out of touch.

If a person makes near or close to the poverty rate OR about under 20k a year-there are BRONZE plans where the premium is zero. premium is subsidized, fully paid by government.

The free plan is very basic but you still get the ACA 'preventative' health care like a free exam, capped emergency room visit, RX discounts. and capped out of pocket costs so you don't go bankrupt, lose everything-when there is a bad accident or illness.

No she doesn't.

Since the 80s I have had it with their economic BS! Trickle down never works...people are selfish and greedy. That is who the GOP reps are and who they represent. I don't even want to know, let alone be acquaintances or friends, with any of them. They are vile to the core.

He'll make a public statement that he thought this whole ACA thing was about life insurance. Of course he never wanted to screw with people's health insurance, that's something only a madman would do.
