The loudest critics of “expensive” ACA subsidies oppose the one reform proven to reduce premiums, spending, and out-of-pocket burdens for low-income adults.
I think this is the start to a good idea, but does not address the issue of actual healthcare. Providers must limit Medicaid patients due to ultra low reimbursement rates. In my state, a provider who only saw Medicaid patients would only earn 45-60k annually, which would not cover living costs, much less student debt. Adding consumers/members/patients to a system with a 6-9 month waiting list for new patient visits will only reduce costs because Healthcare is delayed.
