Healthcare in America feels apocalyptic

Yeah

I don’t understand how expensive health insurance is and continues to become. More so now with all the changes happening to plans and the ACA after 2026 starts, I just don’t get how people can survive when medical benefits are priced the way they are.

Not only are plans extremely expensive for people who don’t get any subsidies, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Then you have the doctors visits, the prescriptions, checkups and whatever else tacks on to the bill. At a certain point I can’t keep hearing that “because medical technology gets better, the prices for premiums get higher.” At a certain point it basically becomes unlivable and unfeasible except for the wealthy who can afford to pay these prices and not bat an eye.

Then there comes the salaries of the executives and the board members of the insurers who take their kickbacks and continue to receive 7-8 figure salaries all from “overseeing and managing operations.” Not only can it be agreed that these kinds of people are grossly overpaid, but wouldn’t it make more sense to put money that these figures are being paid back into the system to improve it and make it easier for not only the patients, but also the doctors and practices that work with these insurers? Instead we STILL have insurance carrier technical discrepancies and issues like billing inaccuracy and false claims/charges when this can all be fixed or handled way better if we properly distribute the amount of money that is put into this industry sector instead of just paying these grossly overpaid salaries to people who “manage operations” and make their decisions the way they do or are told.

It just doesn’t make sense to me and I want it make sense. I’ve been telling myself every possible excuse as to why things happen the way they do and after what’s been happening societally in America, I can’t justify that I think what’s going on is fair or sensible anymore. It makes me worried that trump can say and declare all these changes that he wants to happen but that he lacks for the foresight to see what’s going to happen on the way to making that vision a reality. If we can realistically spread apart the money being made in this space, I think that’s the first step to having healthcare feel like it’s even remotely balanced compared to the chaos it is now. Thanks for listening to those who made it this far.
