"My blood pressure goes up every time they say that they're protecting us from substandard health insurance plans, because there is nothing to support what they're saying.

There's no explanation for the doubling of my premiums other than the fact that it's subsidizing other people."
They need to be honest about that, that that's the reason they don't want to change it.

ReplyDeleteThese are too different groups of people. Just look at the stats. Most of those young people (other than military or civil service) were either on their parents' insurance or going without.
It has always been thus. Those of us with premium plans through our employers were sent through 10 tests before treatment, just to subsidize the uninsured Medicaids.
ReplyDeleteNow, there are 10,000 more "Administrators" to pay through Obamacare, so the money gleaned from the above scenario is gone. That explains the doubling of costs.
Of course, we screamed from the rooftops because we had read the bill BEFORE IT WAS PASSED, BUT SOMEONE SAID, "WE NEED TO PASS THE BILL TO SEE WHAT'S IN IT", and the sheep followed the Master to slaughter!
Boy! Are you a batch of idiots, or what?
Oh, never mind, you would never admit to that.
