The Hospital's top Administrators and State's top Health officials are playing games with people's lives, to get bigger Obamacare payouts due to Pandemic deaths.
These are very sick sick sick people we're dealing with folks.

Whatcha smoking? From what I can gather, you have a beef with Obama over his signature health plan. You believe that somehow hospital administrators and state top officials are colluding to exploit a loophole in the healthcare act known as Obamacare, and that by doing so it's affecting the care that patient's are receiving. Because they're sick?

Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) was supposed to:

1.) “bend the cost curve”; and

2.) vastly improve health.

It was a two-foot putt — move the high-cost uninsured into the national insurance pool to give them access to preventive care — voilà overall cost goes down and health goes up!

That’s not what happened. Instead:

1.) Pharma gamed the system and the opioid epidemic exploded;

2.) Public health agencies launched a genocide with a gain-of-function bioweapon, blocked access to treatment, used the wrong protocols in hospitals, promoted deadly new meds including Remdesivir, and mandated toxic experimental vaccines; and

3.) Overall life expectancy declined by 2 years.

I was a strong supporter of Obamacare. I failed to understand that:

1.) The FDA, CDC, and NIH are subsidiaries of Pharma (completely captured); and

2.) Pharma wants to enslave us, the ruling class wants to kill us, and public health is their preferred vehicle for accomplishing those goals.

The ones who get really screwed are those who have to buy health insurance from the affordable care act exchange and make more than $60,000 as a single filer or $80,000 as a couple.

These are about 400% above the poverty level. The sliding-scale subsidies for health insurance are for those between 100% and 400%.

From what I've read, if you earn more than four times the federal poverty level, you won't pay more than 8.5% of your household income for health insurance.

So a couple making $100,000 would end up paying $8500 in health insurance and I think that the 8.5% rule only applies to silver and bronze plans.

What sucks is even the silver plan has a high deductible and a lot of out of pocket expenses. So you end up spending a lot of money on high deductible plans that were less expensive prior to the affordable care act.

That is why its valuable to use a health savings account if you are buy the bronze or silver plan health insurance through the affordable care act.
