Buy Health Insurance Instead of a New iPhone

“Well, we’re getting rid of the individual mandate. We’re getting rid of those things that people said that they don’t want,” Chaffetz said. “And you know what, Americans have choices, and they’ve got to make a choice. So maybe rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love, and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars on that, maybe they should invest it in their own health care. They’ve got to make those decisions themselves.”

The price of an iPhone ranges from $399 to $969, depending on the model and storage size. By comparison, the annual health insurance premium for an average family was $18,142 in 2016, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Full Story

“We do think that with more choice, that you will get a better product at a lower price, and that’ll be good for everybody on the entire spectrum of income,” Chaffetz said on CNN, when asked if the new bill will require low-income Americans to make certain sacrifices. Full Story

“Americans have choices, and they’ve gotta make a choice,” Chaffetz told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota this morning. “So maybe rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they wanna go spend hundreds of dollars on that, maybe they should invest it in their own health care. They’ve gotta make those decisions themselves.”

Chaffetz seems to be aware that his comments came off poorly, though he isn’t backing away from the message. During an interview later in the morning with Fox News (transcribed by New York Times reporter Sopan Deb), Chaffetz said, “Maybe I didn’t say it as smoothly as I could, but people need to make a conscious choice and I believe in self-reliance. And they’re going to have to make those decisions.” Full Story

“We have to be able to drive those cost curves down and provide good, quality access. We do think that with more choice, that you will get a better product at a lower price. And that will be good for everybody on the entire spectrum of income,” Chaffetz said

“More access, but possibly less coverage? That might be the byproduct?” anchor Alisyn Camerota followed up.

“Well, yes. I think that’s fair. But we’re just now consuming this. So, more of the analysis has to happen,” Chaffetz responded. “That’s premature. We just saw the bill as of yesterday. We’re just starting to consume it. We will have to look at how that analysis moves forward.” Full Story
