Thyroid cancer patient Astrid Storey was advised her monthly premiums under the ACA will jump by nearly $500 in 2026. A naturalized US citizen from Panama, she said she's now contemplating giving up her American dream and moving from Colorado to a country with universal health care. Nathan Boye of Orlando, FL has diabetes and was informed his monthly ACA premiums would soar from $28 to more than $700. The married father-of-three said he is now considering foregoing health insurance altogether. Doug Butchart, whose wife, Shadene, is living with a neurological disorder (ALS) doesn't know how he's going to pay for her medications. A retired mechanic from Elgin, IL Butchart recived notice that the monthly premiums on his wife's ACA policy will climb to $2,000. Combined with an annual deductible of more than $8,000 and $10,000 in out-of-pocket expenses, his wife's health care costs will total more than his monthly Social Security check, which they both live on.

US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that 51,000 Americans will die each year because of Dummkopf Trumpf's "Big, Beautiful Bill" (3 June 2025). As many as 550,000 people file for medical bankruptcy each year in the US, unlike Israel, Germany, Canada, the UK, Sweden, and France, and other modern Western countries. Never forget that in 2015, then-US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) quietly undermined the ACA: Good for Nothing Empty Suit Marco Rubio. Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic economic policies, like his illegal tariffs, and the Republican government shutdown, are crushing lower to middle income families who are forced to go to food banks or borrow money to pay for groceries. Now, many Americans will have to go without medical insurance in a country that will send bill collectors and repo men for unpaid hospital bills. But don't worry. Health industry CEOs, Big Pharma bosses, and the oligarchs are doing just fine, as is every single member of both parties in Congress thanks to their platinum healthcare coverage overseen by a USN admiral.
