First I misunderstood “donor class”. I feel a bit silly. I interpreted as a class of people making small donations but it’s so obvious in retrospect and obviously I’ve seen this term used before. My reply is basically backwards as a result. Whoops
Financial assistance was woefully inadequate because it was mostly based on federally defined poverty guidelines (and still is). This, like the minimum wage, is not tied to inflation and is adjusted irregularly
As stated I understand the point of forcing people into the system to subsidize care. I do not think that it is fair to give them substandard insurance to benefit an elder generation that has higher rates of retirement savings, home ownership, Medicare enrollment, etc.
simply put the individual mandate does not work if it is contingent on giving the youngest generation garbage coverage in exchange for their premiums. Kamala’s proposal continued this
The donor class (im using it correctly now, hooray. I did misunderstand) greatly benefitted from the ACA. This does not mean they would not also benefit from its repeal. Both can be true. They benefitted in the short term from increased subscription rates but they would benefit in the long term from decreased regulatory oversight.
