As open enrollment continues, it’s important to remember that California has seen great improvements in coverage as a result of the Affordable Care Act. We’ve gone from a state with 16% uninsured in 2013 to 7% today.
Thanks to @CoveredCA, individuals now have a place to turn for quality coverage when they find themselves between jobs, self-employed, or without employer coverage. And many qualify for federal subsidies that help make coverage more affordable.
Still, there’s more to be done. We need to expand coverage to those who still lack quality, affordable insurance. And we need to work to bring prices down so that people aren’t forced to make tough decisions on paying the bills or paying for medical care or medicine.
That’s why I support a public option based on Medicare and increased subsidies to achieve universal coverage. A public option would compete with private plans, offering lower rates, and providing real choices for consumers.
I wish you would allow those of us older than 30 to buy the cheaper catastrophic plans, too. It's not worth it to me to have to pay $500/mo--$6,000/yr--just to get a free wellness appointment before paying another few thousand in deductibles. I would be willing to pay $100/mo 1/2
to ensure emergencies are covered. My income looks good on paper, but it still covers only so much. (And for those of us with fluctuating incomes, the subsidy clawback is yet another burden.) 2/2
Hey Diane, go online to Covered California’s site and see for yourself how UNAFFORDABLE health care in CA really is. While the governor blocks outside insurance options from competing. Some young people do not care about pre-existing conditions, the main reason for high costs.
This election is all about Health Care! Wake up folks. Vote.
