What happens to my health insurance if obamacare is repealed?

Are you one of those Americans who has been wondering what will happen to your health insurance if the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare is repealed? Fear not, because we have the answers for you! And boy oh boy, are they hilarious!

An Introductory Note

Before jumping into this uproarious rollercoaster ride, let’s get a few things clear. We’re not here to argue about politics or point fingers at anyone. We’re just a bunch of jolly fellows trying to make light of an otherwise serious situation.

Let’s Get Down To Business!

Alrighty then! So your beloved “Obamacare” gets scrapped – what happens next?

Bye-bye subsidies!

First and foremost, all those wonderful government-funded premium tax credits and other financial aid start flying out the window quicker than Jason Bourne locked out from his safe house (“too soon?”) Now that those diaper-clad adults in Washington D.C. can no longer agree on which flavor of ice cream they prefer, it’ll be much harder for you (read: impossible) to receive any help with paying for health insurance premiums.

B.T.W., we’re also waving goodbye to cost-sharing reductions–deductibles go up up UP!!!

Say Hello To Jean Ralphio (AKA Mediocre Care)!

Now that policies bought via ObamaCare exchanges flush down the drain like people’s love letters after heartbreaks (ouch), where do you shop?
Luckily enough, many insurers offer similar coverage but without all that annoying oversight OR rules regarding pre-existing conditions.
Still though…coverage-wise, these private alternatives could leave policyholders hanging worse than Tom Cruise on top off Burj Khalifa (We speak hyperbole fluently as well!) After all, wouldn’t want coverage whether preventive measures/tests/treatments/etc., can give you a one-on-one with the grim reaper (yikes)

Your Health Is Now A Privilege!

If all of this wasn’t fun enough, so-called “junk” policies may creep back up. Low-cost insurance products that don’t offer minimum essential benefits like substance abuse treatment, maternity and mental health coverage or pre-existing condition mandates will flood the market faster than an average college student getting his cram-study materials ready before finals.

Surely not having care for your ten-foot python python bite won’t leave any current/former Secretary of State shaking in their boots (as if they still have to…) But where was I? That’s right! No need to stay active since no premium increase regulations tied to poor health status demographics exist.

Simple truth? Health is now more of a privilege for those who can pay what insurers ask-EINDHOVEN(SA w/s).## Table Turner
Let’s check out the comparison chart between Obamacare updated on June 14th,2021 after official repeal:

Particulars Obamacare Post-Obamacare
Minimum Essential Coverage Required Yes No
Pre-existing Condition Coverage Mandate Yes Not countrywide
State-run Exchanges Availability Countrywide As per individual States rules; none mandate it

We’re sure this table comes as cheerful news as much as ‘Happy Birthday’ does at senior centers!

Here’a Silver Lining?

Oh wait, there might be something good coming out too – albeit just once (I know) – Healthcare service providers might hardly play Scrabble while spending hours going through tedious paperwork (so we thought sometime between learning Chinese whispers & stuttering contests).
But serious talk though…the following effect would probably show up: Administrative workload reduction means low costs.
This could happen because the need of the resources all those various documentation needs (read: coordination amid multiple providers, compliance & reporting work) can drop off quite a bit; everything from appointment scheduling to obtaining prior authorizations etc. takes way lesser time.

In Conclusion

Thanks for joining us on this laugh riot-filled voyage! Though it did have its fair share of hilarious script (“one-on-one with Grim Reaper”), let’s remember that the potential immediate fallout post-repeal doesn’t exactly spell out roses and rainbows for anyone (sigh). We just hope you were able to graciously chuckle your way through these realities !
