So basically what they are saying is I should pay more in insurance even though I have not been to the doctor in 2 years because it helps people who choose not to work?


Check yo privilege and think of those who are unable to develop the will to be productive members of society.

And that would be different how? Only now we are paying in MUCH higher premiums.

Honest questions.

1. Do you pay for your own health insurance or does you job or parents?

2. If you pay for your own, do you get subsidies?

3. If you are completely out of pocket, how much has your premiums gone up in the last 3-4 years?



Parents? frick off or read my post count or years posting.

We went with my wife's employer. She works for an international company. Therefore I believe she was allowed more options. Or company was. We got BCBS of Illinois. We're in Texas. It was half of the premium I was paying through an employer. It has slowly over 4 years gone up to what we were paying before the switch.

If her job tried to be a hard arse about it they could drop me as I can get my own plan. This should be illegal. Offer "family plans" or don't. In healthcare you have people PURPOSELY taking part time jobs so the spouse has to carry. That is horseshite. Couple that with some hospitals offering ONLY their own insurance product (memorial Herman) which reeks of company store and should be illegal.

If you can say you have great insurance and it is affordable, you are a unicorn.

Which counties are those? The situation in Tennessee was resolved.

Might want to do some investigating as to what's up in Iowa - it's hardly predictive of what you think it is.

Oh, you don't understand that 'death spiral' has a meaning then? Weird, you really should know that by now.

A) Link?

B) So insurers drastically underpriced their premiums, hoping to absorb a loss as they acquired a wider customer base, and Republicans stripping out some of the programs to cover these losses has hurt them more than expected? Shocked!

Trump and Ryan want to remove the ACA 3.8% tax on the richest 4% of Americans.


That should take a burden off the middle class and reduce our deficit shouldn't it shite for brains.

indeed. It's always funny when someone survey beneficiaries and finds "evidence" of popularity.

Silly.

It's been linked many times.
Rise in annual cost of HC = 6.5%

Then you should have no problem providing one that shows an average 3.8X (and as much as 1780%) growth in 'obamacare cost escalation' - I'll even let you define that poorly-conceived term - vs median healthcare cost escalation.

Obamacare policies are up an average of 25% according to Forbes. Not worth my time linking it for you as you'll ask for the same thing again next week. Look it up yourself. Maybe that way you'll remember it.

Odd that the health insurance companies it needs to lose fantastic amounts of money in order to work aren't interested in doing so isn't it?
