In Oregon the insurers on the "affordable" care act exchange got a 10% rate increase for 2025. They are filing for another 10% for 2026. No inflation???
Say what you will about Dems or Reps...
I just wish Trump put 75% of his effort into fixing the healthcare system. Leave invading Greenland for the next president. I thought he could be the only one out of the last 8 presidents who could.
I am not in the medical field. But to me, should be simple to find the root cause and fix it: trace every step of the way and find the common sense nexus point of 'what the hell is this?', throw those people in jail, and fix it
Insurance/Medical/Pharma triad owns too many Congress critters.
If I had to choose the #1 evil it would be Insurance. They literally dictate to docs what care you get.
Pharma takes advantage of the situation and is the #1 lobby group by far.
Trump said he was going to reduce drugs by %1500
Ignore for a moment he didn’t pass math, he’s not done a thing as far as I can tell
I've found that asking for the cash price up front is usually way cheaper than using insurance, especially for basic visits or lab work. Always surprised how much lower it is.
