Fact Check: "OBBBA could force young adults out of affordable health coverage!"

What We Know

The claim that the "OBBBA could force young adults out of affordable health coverage" suggests that proposed changes in health policy could negatively impact young adults' access to affordable insurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in 2010, included a provision allowing young adults to remain on their parents' health insurance until age 26, significantly increasing coverage among this demographic. Studies indicate that this mandate has led to improved health outcomes and access to care for young adults, with millions gaining insurance as a result (source-1, source-2).

The OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) proposes changes to health coverage provisions, which could potentially alter the landscape of health insurance for young adults. However, according to a report from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the ACA has led to significant coverage gains among young adults, with many now relying on this coverage for essential health services (source-4, source-5).

Analysis

The assertion that the OBBBA could force young adults out of affordable health coverage lacks substantial evidence. Current provisions under the ACA have been shown to improve insurance coverage rates among young adults, particularly those aged 19 to 25, who historically faced high rates of uninsurance (source-2). The ACA's young adult mandate has been associated with a decrease in uninsured rates and improvements in access to healthcare services (source-1).

While some analyses suggest that changes proposed in the OBBBA could lead to increased premiums for young adults, particularly those with lower incomes (source-8), the overall impact of the OBBBA on young adults' health coverage is not definitively established. The ACA has created a framework that has significantly benefited young adults, and any proposed changes would need to be evaluated in the context of their potential effects on this demographic.

Moreover, the sources discussing the OBBBA's implications are relatively new and may not fully capture the long-term effects of the proposed changes. Established studies on the ACA provide a more reliable basis for understanding the current situation regarding young adult health coverage.

Conclusion

Verdict: False. The claim that the OBBBA could force young adults out of affordable health coverage is not supported by the evidence available. The ACA has significantly expanded coverage for young adults, and while there are concerns about potential premium increases under the OBBBA, there is no clear indication that it would result in a loss of affordable health coverage for young adults. The historical context and data suggest that the ACA has improved access to care for this group, making the claim misleading.

Fact Check: Transcript 00:00 911 was a false flag. For the first 10 years, I did not think anything other than the official narrative then after being shown a video, a close up video of building number seven coming down and that got me going because it's obvious to me that building seven was was a controlled demolition because the building collapses from the bottom down. The trade centers were unique in that they were designed to withstand the 00:33 impact of a a a jet. From what I understand the the outer skeleton of the building. The outer columns was like a a fish net and you had these inner core columns which was substantial thick steel beams to withstand four or five times what the loads were. Got it. The engineers always over design a building. No steel frame building has ever collapsed before or since 9/ eleven. So that should say something right there. And it said that building seven it was 01:05 aggressive collapse that it was caused by fire but progressive collapse unlike the twin towers, the twin towers collapse from the top down. That's a progressive collapse. Sure. Floor by floor by floor. But if you look at the videos of building seven collapsing, it collapses uniformly, it's collapsing from the bottom, the building stays intact all the way to the bottom of the ground and you could see the sides caving in on it. For a building to collapse uniformly which the video show all the load bearing it would have to have failed 01:36 simultaneously. Now, fire doesn't act like that. I came across an analogy of the twin towers and if you could visualize cast iron stoves stacked. One on top of each other. The stoves up at the top. Yes, there's fire and they've been damaged but the stoves on the bottom, they haven't been damaged. Okay. So, the structure underneath all of that is intact. So, it's impossible for a building to collapse near free fall speed and increase. Without a 02:07 controlled demolition. You're running into the path of most resistance. I something else is going on. I don't believe that it was just the planes or the fires I think that and they examine the dust and they found what they call thermitic material which is like a explosive incendiary which was in the dust samples and that's documented. There were reports of the buildings were undergoing a extensive elevator renovation in the two or three years prior to all kinds of 02:40 workers they had access to the the core the cores of the building and on the day of the attack the the elevator company would not assist in the operations of the elevators and the elevator company was the elevator company it subsequently went out of business and a couple of years after that
