This is good news! As more people sign up the premiums will continue to shrink. It will not be good news when they actually use real numbers and not guesstiments. The CBO is basing their projection on what the numbers will be based on the numbers they have. The real numbers have not even been released. Also, as another poster pointed out this is a just a lowering of a projection that was made earlier. They never said actual premiums will go down. Premiums are projected to increase in 2015. Not decrease.


So you are of the opinion that the fundamental laws of Supply and Demand aren't valid? As the pool gets bigger and more healthy people are brought into it the costs will subside. I haven't heard anyone reputable dispute basic facts like that. Just because the Dems are getting credit for using a basically Repub proposal doesn't mean that the sun now rises in the West.

What are you babbling about. This has nothing to do with supply and demand.

No they will not. Healthcare cost have not subsided in Japan, or France, or England, or the Netherlands. The cost of healthcare will continue to rise. The individual policy holders will be expected to share more of the cost to keep premiums in check.
