Here’s how Trump’s tax law is raising health insurance premiums

[*wildcats forever*]

One aspect that has hit home for me is the denial of coverage to those with preexisting conditions for supplemental Medicare insurance. No increased premium option is offered; just coverage denial. This will force some pensioners to bankruptcy when faced with a 20% copay on an 'event', given current medical costs for those dealing with CVD, Cancer, Diabetes etc. Many probably won't give this a second thought, as age isn't an issue for them currently. However, this is something few can avoid because sooner or later everyone will have a preexisting condition.
