  1. Looming affordability crisis set to hit Americans with #health #insurance through #work

    The expiration planned by Congress next month for the “tax credits” (aka subsidies) that allow states to provide the public's access to the healthcare marketplace will create a sudden shock of hundreds of thousands - more likely in the millions - of Americans no longer able to get sickness, disease, and injuries treated; will begin a new period of #medical, #economic and #social collapse. This is combined with massive increases to private insurance including employer-provided plans & programs, and the effective end to all #Medicaid-associated programs nationwide next fall. An avoidable human #catastrophe from #MAGA, which the majority of the US public is only beginning to notice.

Later in the conversation #ChrisSmalls, the president of ALU, joins as well."
