    Extreme-left wing Bruce Jasper is trying to pump Centene stock today in FORBES and I got the 1st comment I wrote: Ron G.

    Obamacare implemented a rate increase this morning for 2025, raising the monthly premium for a child in Orlando from $409 to $477, nearly a 20% increase. This plan also comes with a substantial deductible of $9,200. In contrast, Allstate’s Trumpcare plan is priced at just $101 per month, features a zero deductible, and includes a three-year rate lock.

    When Obama was elected, Centene’s stock was valued at $4.32. By August 2024, due to the effects of Obamacare, the stock had surged to $78 per share. Additionally, Centene is facing an unreported RICO class-action lawsuit and receives $5.2 billion annually from Illinois. Reports from the Chicago Sun-Times indicate that foster children in Chicago can wait up to a year to see a doctor, raising serious concerns about children’s health and safety while Centene profits soar.

    Your story, Bruce, resembles a commercial for Centene. When the Centene CEO passed away last year, Hillary sent a video to the funeral thanking him for saving the controversial Obamacare in 2017. We need honest reporting instead of Obamacare advertisements from FORBES.

    Excuse Me, my demetia is flaring up. The above comment is the 2nd comment in FORBES Bruce Jasper’s biased Centene Story. Here is the 1st comment because I have 2; Ron G.

    Bruce, you should report on how the nation’s press is neglecting the Centene RICO Act lawsuit, considering they are the largest player in Obamacare and Medicaid. Additionally, the Free Market is dismantling Obamacare nationwide with Allstate’s Zero-Deductible Trumpcare, which is much more affordable. For instance, in Orlando, the cost of Obamacare for a child is $409 monthly, and the only PPO from Blue Cross has a staggering $9,450 deductible. In contrast, Trumpcare’s Zero-Deductible plan is just $101 per month with a three-year rate lock.

    Many American parents are forced to charge the hefty Obamacare deductibles on high-interest credit cards because hospitals require payment before performing surgeries. Trumpcare, on the other hand, covers costs in addition to auto insurance. Unlike cheap Obamacare and Blue Cross, which do not pay when auto insurance does, if a child in Florida spends 30 days in the hospital and auto insurance covers the bill, Allstate will provide parents with at least $360,000, as the minimum payout is $12,000 per day for 30 days.

    It’s a matter of justice that the Free and Open Market is undermining Obamacare, without potentially one politician, one media reporter like you, Bruce, or one conservative website like Breitbart or Gateway Pundit highlighting this issue. Who will you believe, Bruce Jepsen or me, who enrolled the USA’s first tax-free HSA in 1996? Save101 com.

    I tried to google Allstate Trumpcare but the search didn’t find anything.

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
