I’m very glad you personally won the health lottery back then. It was absolutely not “affordable” for people who didn’t.

You are correct in the sense that the less insurance has to cover, the less premiums and cost sharing models are required in private insurer model. but all that risk gets transferred *somewhere*
Some people won that lottery. Many did not.

"We are just not going to cover anything you ever had for X months if you switch jobs, or fully rescission you and you have absolutely 0 recourse, good luck" does tend to materially reduce the amount the insurance company has to pay out but not the actual health risk.

Grandma switched jobs with a gap before ACA and had to spend months waiting for diabetes to be covered again. I'm not sure that's a better state of affairs.

It's possible to be for M4A and also acknowledge that the prior system of "i see you stubbed your toe in 5th grade and didn't list it on form 45-SFA(B) - Rev. A, insurance retroactively cancelled" was pretty awful!

yeah i agree with that, it's a highly privileged thing once in session. but a state court certainly cannot "force" the House to do such

sure and the GOP will hopefully have repercussions from touching the stove but what does that have to do with the background costs increasing despite the insurance model

Not sure what you are referring to by "minus ACA", prior to the ACA pre existing conditions could just be fully not covered or all coverage pulled by rescission. Banning those was good but also tends to increase costs in a non-single-payer system

There are definitely issues with the current model in the US but costs would have gone up regardless as the system is so advanced and specialized now.

Childcare is expensive for many reasons: increase in service costs as above, lots of regulation (increased safety costs more), high operating costs, high insurance costs.
Tuition is also a lot of reasons, but a big one is declining state funding + more admin employees

Service work increases in price even while physical goods fall in price and standards of living in general rise. This is good! Servants are expensive now bc people can aspire to other jobs.
There are other factors at play here as well. Has the standard of medical care improved since 1940s?
