Fox’s resident quack anti-vaxxer radiologist Dr. Nicole Saphier said the quiet part out loud during a discussion about the ACA subsidies going away and what Republicans’ so-called solutions are to keep the price of health insurance down.
Here’s Saphier and her cohosts Tomi Lahren and Joey Jones pining for the days when preexisting conditions weren’t covered and people were forced onto junk high deductible plans instead, and insisting that going back to those days would be a good thing on this Sunday’s The Big Weekend Show:
SAPHIER: I don’t know about that but I will say something I don’t usually say. I agree with Hakeem Jeffries a little bit in what he said. He is right, and as Joey just alluded, the Affordable Care Act did help millions of Americans, but it also tied even more Americans and their physicians to Washington, and what that did was it over-regulated our health care system and that drove up the costs.
And so what we saw when the ACA was enacted in 2010, you know, we had the thumbs down by John McCain with the repeal in about 2017, and then 2021, 2022 under Biden’s American Rescue Plan, Inflation Reduction Act, they expanded all of the subsidies. They said more people were able to get these tax credits, these tax incentives to get on the marketplace.
