Health Insurance companies are only in business to make money; they don't care about their customers.

My premium doubled because my employer decided to reduce premiums for lower earners out of equity and inclusion. They love to act like they’re doing a good thing while making me pay for it.

As someone who has relatives in the medical industry, you trying to clear Obama‘s name on this is bull crap it is absolutely a result. A lot of it from Obama care.

I actually refused to pay the individual mandate the few years it was required. I couldn't afford insurance and simply did not pay it, consequences be damned.

So, the Rs haven't fixed your guy's "signature" legislation. Fair dinkum, but it doesn't make it NOT an Obama issue.

Yet, the uninsured get it all for free. Granted, I wouldn’t want the hassle of free clinics, but the approval of procedures and battery of tests for the uninsured far exceeds what you can get approved if you have private insurance.

My wife's employer is like that. There are like 4 tiers of dues, based on your annual earnings, for the exact same insurance. You'll notice the company doesnt actually give the low paid people better pay or anything substantial.

I agree with you that republicans in congress haven’t done much, with the exception of Trumps crafty workaround on prescription drug prices .

But you are incredibly obtuse if you believe Obama didn’t have a landmark impact on higher premiums. If you were a small business or independently employed you know that statement is horseshyte.

Moreover, the number one rule in Saul Alinki’s playbook for socialists (followed religiously by Obama and Hildawg ) is to control healthcare.
