Where's that fucking constitution thingy when you really need it?
The problem is, though that works for the relative minority of Americans who did not have health insurance, it is fucking over the overwhelming majority of us who did. For the rest of us, it has increased our premiums 45-200%.
The parasitic nature of the lower class is starting to feel burdensome.
you're an idiot if you think obamacare increases premiums by that much.
fact: Obamacare will increase premiums 2-4% due to the 3 new taxes on insurance carriers. anything more than that is insurance carriers trying to use the ACA to sneak a higher rate increase.

Does anyone have an actual breakdown on how the ACA is going to increase health insurance premiums? They were increasing about at the same rate prior to the passage of the ACA, and I am curious if there is more than just talking points.
For profit health care is just a terrible idea rife with moral hazards, also the entire health insurance system is a corrupt mess of inefficiencies. I have long felt like the only good that will come from the ACA is the death of the health insurance industry and the end of for profit health care.
i already stated what i disagree with in my last post repub/dem doesnt matter, shutting down the government because you can't get your way on legislation through normal legislative&judicial processes is not the way to run a country.
Premiums don't mean dick when you have a $6,000 deductible, and $12,000 out of pocket maximum on the plan. Most people are still fucked if they have something bad happen. It also depends on choices and level of care with that plan. I wish I could view the plans but the healthcare.gov website is still fucked up.
I'm curious how adding millions of people to the pockets of the healthcare and insurance industry is going to somehow 'end' for-profit healthcare? That seems like it would have the opposite effect?

You think a 4 hour performance of the DJIA is an accurate measurement of the impact government policies/behaviors have on the economy?
I am paying $1458 for 80/20 right now, with vision and dental included.
Under Obamacare (when Cobra runs out) I will be paying $1500/yr more, have a higher out-of-pocket expense per person, and lose vision/dental. Oh, and Medicare tax goes up. I also lose our current doctors from my understanding.
Nobody is arguing that. Our "current" (previous?) system has a lot of problems and needs to be updated (regulated or de-regulated?) to plug the holes.For profit health care is just a terrible idea rife with moral hazards, also the entire health insurance system is a corrupt mess of inefficiencies.

That sucks, but there were similar anecdotes trotted out about why we needed Obamacare in the first place. Again your situation doesn't sound like something that wasn't happening prior to the ACA, and I was curious if people had more thorough explanations of how the ACA is the direct cause of the current rise in insurance costs over the cost increases that were occurring prior to the passing of the ACA.
