The Left Finally Discovers What We Discovered Years Ago: Obamacare is Lousy if You Happen to Get Sick

This is from a report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:

• In a 2023 Commonwealth Fund survey, 37 percent of respondents enrolled in the marketplace or individual market reported that they or a family member delayed or skipped needed health care in the past 12 months because of cost.
• Seventy percent of respondents reported that they spent at least 10 percent — and 23 percent said they spent at least a quarter — of their monthly household budget on health care.
• In a recent KFF survey, 23 percent and 18 percent of Black and Hispanic enrollees in private insurance, respectively, reported having problems paying a medical bill, compared to 15 percent of white enrollees

However, the report contains:

• No understanding of why there is a race to the bottom in the exchanges
• No solutions other than spending more money and creating  more perverse incentives.
• No awareness of a very similarly organized program which is incomparably better (Medicare Advantage).
