Reply to comment by buttergams in What's up with the open enrollment healthcare plans? by buttergams

"Free" is relative- someone, somewhere, is always paying. Also, even if you have health insurance, you're not out of the woods if you need to use it. You'd think, with what we pay, that it could at least be a bit easier to use.

The someone somewhere paying for everything in the US is Janet Yellen. As long as the money printer is on creating money from nothing and people allow her to assign it a value and trade it for goods and service everything is free if we want it to be. Janet could just print and extra 500b into the system. That’s how everything else works… bank bailouts, auto industry bailouts, Covid relief, foreign aid, military budge. It’s all just Janet YOLOing that printer till China calls and ends the party.
