A Picture Is Worth 0

So much for the claim that the ACA is hurting people:

Chart showing that the percentage of persons who might have to pay more for health insurance under the ACA (most of whom have terrible policies that don't cover anything anyway) is 3% or less, while those who will pay less is 14% and the great majority is unaffected.

As TWiB pointed out, the fact that a very small percentage of persons might have to pay more is old news (yes, it’s a long listen, but worth it–subscribe; I did). And, in the great majority of cases, the plans that are no longer “allowable” are no longer allowable because, to be blunt about it, they suck.

And what’s the Republican alternative? As Alan Grayson said, it’s

Don’t get sick. If you do get sick, die quickly.

Me, I’m just trying to stay alive until I qualify for Medicare.

My individual policy premium is going up next year, but that’s because my age keeps going up. Beats the alternative, as far as I am concerned.

Via TPM, which has commentary.
