The citation Dermot uses is for ACA premiums and tax credits. It is disengenuous of Dermot to lead the reader into believing that the numbers cited are a true reflection of what the average Alaskan, who is not eligible for Medicaid or a tax credit, is paying for health insurance under the ACA. There is nothing affordable about it at all and many Alaskans are opting to pay the penalty for not having insurance. Why? Why doesn't Dermot answer this question?
Don't get me wrong, I voted for Jill Stein, mainly for her position in support of a single payer health system and education. Dermot on the other hand does not have faith in America or that one day we will have a single payer health system and that public education will include college.
