My health insurance premium just renewed. 42 percent increase over two years

18 percent last year
24 percent this year.
And the overall quality of the plan has significantly decreased. Higher deductibles.
Is this what we call "fixing health care"?
Many of my employees don't buy our healthcare because it is too expensive and I subsidize the cost.
It isn't even arguable that healthcare is significantly worse since Obamacare. Who can even defend this horseshite?

The Republican bill would have done 0 to slow those increases down. There were insurers actually asking state insurance boards to allow higher increases if the plan passed.

Well that bill isn't reality, Obamacare is the reality.

too bad it is illegal for people to procure medical services and pay cash. You can buy a lot of care with the same amount of cash that insurance costs these days.
Providers can provide better, faster care at a much lower cost when done with cash transactions, too.
Hrm....I may be seeing a common theme here.

Which is one of the reasons it didn't pass.

No it's not.

The point was it is illegal to not have insurance. Play your semantics all you want.

The Republican bill sucked. Link to where I defended it?
Pre-Obamacare should be our baseline, not post-.
Less people now have insurance they can use than prior to Obamacare. It's a complete scam.

I own the company you frick-stick. I would discuss the issue with you in business terms but you are too much of a big government liberal racist to understand the terms.

It's not irrelevant. If it doesn't make sense for you to have insurance, don't buy it.

If you truly think that is the solution, you're a major part of the problem.
He mentioned having employees and that HE subsidizes part of the premiums. Sounds like he's a business owner. So your suggestion is to get a better job, close up shop, lay off all employees, which creates even more people trying to get a subsidy on the ACA and economic contraction. Good plan.

Said Collins, Lee, Moran, and Paul...and these guys alone. (At least I HOPE this was among the reasons, but would prefer that they opposed because it was diet ACA)
The other 96 can pound sand.
