Malevolent governments and corporations always try to blame innocent people or groups for existing conditions, yet only governments and corporations had the power and will to create those conditions. The People must learn to place blame where it belongs, and reject the propaganda of the powermad.

Reminder that Trump policies from his 1st term attributed to increased ACA Premiums
His “concepts of a plan” have always been about harming the vulnerable and every day folks trying to make ends meet.

![• A proposed rule that will cut premium tax credits and raise premiums or out-of-pocket costs for millions of people (January 2019). [12]A seemingly minor change included in the Administration's recently released proposed rule setting ACA marketplace standards for 2020 would raise premiums for at least 7.3 million marketplace consumers by cutting their premium tax credits. The higher premiums - for example, $196 more for a family of four with income of $80,000 - would cause 100,000 people to drop marketplace coverage each year, according to the Administration's estimates.
The same proposal would also raise the ACA's limits on total out-of-pocket costs (deductibles, co-payments, and co-insurance); such limits apply to employer as well as individual market plans and disproportionately protect people with pre-existing conditions, who are more likely to have health care costs high enough to reach the out-of-pocket limit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ifnxpomraswgy6t34nrwqqgd/bafkreidvppst7zazloj5rbjvsapmtijxqt4wrtkxsijepilaskrpjnn6qe@jpeg)
