Our premiums are up over 200% over the last 5 years. On top of that, the copays for prescriptions have shot up. Wife uses an inhaler for Asthma. 3 years ago instead of paying $15 at HEB our copay jumped to $90. That was 8 Times a year at $75 increase or $600 jump to us that was NOT officially a part of premium increases. This is a hidden increase.

Last year Blue Cross Blue Shield dropped the inhaler altogether so we now pay full price of $225. That’s 8 x $210 or $1680 in hidden increases.

The dems can stick ACA smooth up their arse.

Well good for fricking you.

The rest of us are on plans which decreased in benefits while increasing in premiums and deductibles.

I know. I'm on your side. I want ACA repealed.

I never supported it mainly because it's another entitlement that will be very difficult to get rid of.

It is basically a huge tax on the middle class.

If you're rich or poor, then Obamacare is good for you. If you're middle class, then this law does absolutely nothing positive for you.

No doubt about it.

It's just the stepping stone to some version of single payer anyway. We are just putting that off as long as possible.

But people need to keep in mind that the takers are beginning to overcome the providers.

It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out.

ACA brought the middle class down a notch so they accomplished part of their goals. Now if they can get Bernie elected that will speed up the process.

It's using Reverse Psychology so the NeverTrump'ers suddenly turn and go against the bill. He says "good deal, like it", the NT's then say, "he likes it? kill it with fire!".
