      Yes, because they had paid their premiums but didn’t use the service. Big brains at work here.

        Some trump lackey was on a TV show saying that having an ACA policy and not using it was clearly fraud as it was “statistically impossible”. … As we and anyone who understands insurance knows, those are the people who pay for the ones who do have to use it. Healthy people, particularly men, don’t go to the doctor for preventative care or generally unless they have to, but with the abusive horror of pricing in the US system, they must have insurance to make it less likely they are financially destroyed by an unexpected illness or accident. So, the Trump heathens know they’re lying, and just want to undermine the ACA because one, they want Americans to suffer and die apparently and two, OBAMA.

        i got a warning here last week saying the same thing. gonna lose it if i don’t use it (“it” being a rather minimal-coverage, non-aca plan, that happens to be partially public-funded, run by a nearby regional clinic).

          Not that it’s an equal comparison, but maybe that’s why they’re so against medicare for all? They think more people paying into the system is worse (which is the opposite of reality).

          No, I realize they’re against it to hurt people, just trying to find rationality where there isn’t any.

          Geniuses. Next we’ll be losing auto insurance if you don’t get in an accident.

            but first, lets raise your rates again… but because you’re such a good driver, we won’t raise 'em as much as we wanted to.
