Letters: Health care coverage shouldn’t just focus only on Obamacare recipients
Letters EditorThe New Orleans Advocate
I follow the newspaper's Opinion section. Why has the mainstream media not honestly presented the facts on health care costs? There are over 300 million residents in the U.S., not just the 24 million on Obamacare. Why not provide graphics on normal private health insurance costs vs. Obamacare subsidized costs with deductibles of both?
A family of four on private insurance pays upwards of $2,000 per month for the same coverage Obamacare participants get for below $250. A graphic of the subsidies' amount per income range would clarify the need for help for all people, not just the 24 million on Obamacare, which is the root of the problem.
Does the newspaper have the courage to publish this information?
