The Wall Street Journal is well known for fake news and its
highly liberal outlook in its articles. That is what I expect the Trump
conservatives to say very soon. You see the Journal that is extremely accurate
and fair in it’s reporting is saying some nasty truthful things about Trumpcare
or Ryancare whichever name you want to give to the proposed replacement to the
Affordable Care Act.
Lets look at some of the items the Journal brought up. Low-income
old people will see substantial increases in the cost of insurance, while high income
people will see lower costs. People living in rural areas will pay more. So the
Trump supporters from the rural area you just got your gift from the Republican
Party a reduction in your take home pay.
But wait say the Republicans we have reduce red tape, taxes
and mandates, well does that matter if the cost of insurance zoomed up. I don’t
think so.
Ok here are some of the facts from the article:
45 year old making $18,000 a year
Rural person increase of $2,291
Urban person increase of $1,588
But if your 62 years old look at what happens
Rural person increase $9,075
Urban person increase $6,954
Since this based on where you live look at what happens to
the poor person living in Chase County in Nebraska who earns that magic $18,000
a year, their insurance premiums would be $20,000 a year an increase from $760
under the Affordable Care Act. All
of you can do this math, $2,000 more than they earn and an increase of $19,240.
A year.
So if you’re on social security earning about $18,000 a year
you need to live on $8,000 a year on average. In some parts of the county you
can’t live. So the older and poorer group of people who live in the rural area
and voted for Mr. Trump. Are you happy now?
Oh by the way if your 35 and making $54,000 a year your
insurance will drop about $3,000 a year or if you’re 62 year old making this
amount you would see a drop of $2,856.
What ‘s very wrong with this picture.
