considering reality in the determination of prices.
But this isn't reality any more. This is...
I feel bad for all the youth, and people after, who will never have known the joy of living in a country that was free, wasn’t completely broke and had a ton of cutting edge industries that served the population brilliantly.

I take Synthroid for a thyroid disease, and as such I take medication daily and will continue to have to do so for the rest of my life. I also need to have a blood test every so often to check those levels to make sure they’re where they need to be.
Screw Buckwheat’s Nazi decrees. It’s time for states to arrest federal fascist bureaucrats and send them to prison. Ninety-nine years with possibility for parole in 100 years.
Expensive and affordable? Only in the mind of a liberal.
The beginning of the end for insurers. In order to take on the increased risk of people with pre-ex ‘without’ being able to charge them higher premiums insurers will be forced to increase premiums on ‘everyone’. That will lead to healthy people opting NOT to get insurance but rather pay the small tax. If a healthy person gets sick since an insurer cant deny for pre-ex that person would just go and get insurance at that time. That means less and less healthy people insured and more and more sick people insured. Costs will be more than insurers are bringing in so they will raise premiums more and the above will continue. The death cycle will run its course until the intent of obamacare has arrived. Single payer.
I still await the media to identify the cost to all of subsidizing the health care costs of the self destructive homosexual elephant in the room...

LGBT individuals have encountered discrimination in the health care system for decades, and many studies have shown that LGBT people are affected by chronic disease at a higher rate than other Americans.The new law has already made aignificant progress toward ending some of the worst insurance company abuses and helping ensure that LGBT Americans have access to coverage when they need it most. For example, the Affordable Care Act ends lifetime dollar limits on key benefits and restricts annual dollar limits until they are ended in 2014, allowing for long-term comprehensive treatment of chronic diseases.
The leftists ignore reality because it clashes with their Utopian vision of government imposed equality of results. Men & Women -the same -- Homosexual perverts and normal people -the same...
The health insurance industry has been antispating this for a while. Rates will go up until they go out of business for lack of consumers, Otherwise they will go out of business for lack of money.
The key now for that industry is to get into the good states & good graces of Federal & state politicians, as what is left of them will be little more than political puppets providing the cookie cutter policy’s(as dictated by regulations) to our entire population.
I sure hope you have the same Health concerns as the most politically important demographic group, because that is what the only available plans will be designed to deal with financially.
Blue Cross has already been raising my rates every quarter for over a year now in preparation for this. For my PPO, a year and a half ago my monthly premium was around $750. Now it's now almost $1,000.
It's unsustainable.
Get ready? Mine has already gone up.
“expensive, parts of the Affordable Care Act”
Huh?
Rolling out the appealing stuff before the REAL SHTF?
This makes me sick. The unintended consequences are mammoth compared to the do-gooder intention.
If they cover you after you get sick, it isn’t insurance, is it?
They won, we lost.
This is only the tip of the iceberg Comrades.
Since I have Leukemia, why am I paying $1,300 a month for Health Insurance again?
I should just wait for my overdue relapse and get Insurance coverage the day before I go in for Chemotherapy again.
Women will not be charged a higher premium than men since the premiums for men will increase.
Yay, we get to prepay for those with preconditions that refused to pay for themselves.
