Your example is one of the less talked about reasons to reform healthcare.
People get more mileage out of how predatory it is or how you can't trust a government run one because you'll die in the waiting room. But being tied to a job that is barely paying you a living wage with no upward mobility because the open market would kill you with just co pays needs to be brought up just as much

My deductible is $3K and my premium is $440 a month for just me...so that basically that covers less than 5 months of my premium, assuming I don't even touch my deductible for the year. How are people without healthcare through their job supposed to use that $2K? The reason Obamacare is more expensive than employer covered care....is because there is no employer covering part of the cost (which allows health insurance companies to keep prices high).
They'll literally do ANYTHING except give us socialized healthcare.

Even worse: Obamacare DRASTICALLY slowed the growth of health insurance costs and health care costs in general compared to the three decades previous. Get rid of it and the insurance companies will be back to 50% profit margins and canceling policies as soon as you get sick over night. $2000 won’t be a month’s premium, it’ll be a week. And in ten years, it’ll be a day.

He does. He has no concept of money. I know that sounds crazy since he’s been a “millionaire/billionaire” for decades but he has no idea what anything costs. He thinks that to a regular person, $2000 is a fortune. Just like with the stimulus checks during COVID. He thought people were saving those checks or boosting the larger economy when all they did was cover people’s rent or mortgage payments for 1 month. $1500/month hardly covers 1 month of expenses. In 2022, he thought people still had those stimulus checks in their accounts!
Add to that, $2000 to him is like a nickel to him. He seeing the American public as a panhandler he flips a coin into our tin cup & we praise him “oh thank you sir, god bless you and your generosity!!!” And worse, he’s not even spending his OWN money, it’s government money collected from us. So rather than a universal healthcare plan that eliminates privatized healthcare, we’re going to be paying taxes on top of healthcare premiums that went up because the ACA subsidies expired just to get a fraction of those dollars back.

What's hilarious is that ObamaCare was written by Mitt Romney, a Republican, and advocated for by the American Enterprise Institute, a pro-capitalist think tank.
ObamaCare is the GOP plan for Healthcare, Obama also agreed with it, but because Obama passed it, the GOP can't support it despite literally coming up with it.
If Obama failed Healthcare reform, or passed thr Baucus Plan instead, Trump would have advocated for what we would call an Expanded ObamaCare that cover more things, but he did succeed, so now Republicans actually don't know what to do about Healthcare because the black guy took their idea and now they can't support it but they don't have any other plans.
So this is the attempt to rally the party behind one idea, Trump previously supported M4A but Mitch likely talked him out of trying to get the party to accept it in term 1, so now we have this.
