No one saw this coming.

Now let’s follow the money and see what the insurance companies are kicking back for 2016.

Anyone who participates in our health care system by using insurance or some government program is helping to support our current system. People should tear up their insurance/Medicare cards and BOYCOTT THE WHOLE SYSTEM.

So, if you like government involvement in health care, keep showing up at the doctor's office.

I have yet to see a congressional Republican bill that repeals this part specifically.

Maybe it’s like that Obamacare bailout that congress got from Obama.

Insurance companies think they are in the cat-bird seat but eventually they will be destroyed by the “existing conditions” part of bammycare. The logical thing to do is dump insurance and pay cash for minor care. If you get really sick pick up an insurance policy, which they cannot refuse you, and leech the system.

Reinsurance Program that caps big claim costs for insurers (individual plans only).” He writes that “in 2014, 80% of individual costs between $45,000 and $250,000 are paid by the government

Ok let me understand, under private insurance the insurance company is on the hook for all costs up to the policy limit. Now with the ACA the insurance company is on the hook for payments from the deductible ($5,000) to $45,000 plus 20% of the $205,000.

So why is the policy cost so much higher under the ACA?

But, but, but, I thought Ocare was supposed to SAVE us money because before, those costs of uninsured patients would no longer be passed on to us! You mean they’re STILL going to be passed on to us through paying for others’ subsidies, higher premiums-deductibles-copays, AND a government (TAXPAYER) bail-out of insurance companies?

Yes, but how many lanes did Christie’s staff close on a New Jersey bridge for a week?

The goverment way. Break something it had no legal authority to delve into. Then fix it which makes it worse. Our founders knew plenty.
So is the bailout figured into the cost of O’rino care?

How unbelieveable? Obama is a corporatist, a “soft fascist.” Mussolini without the jingoism and the uniform.

Never forget that AARP signed onto this mess. They basically sold out HMO members. They did this to pimp for the insurance companies who sell their medigap policies thru AARP. AARP will make a cool billion dollars over the next ten years. I’ll never have anything to do with them.

If we don’t bail them out, the companies will collapse and usher in the single payer system.

This is a killer issue for the GOP created by the Left with Obamacare. The insurance industry is nominally supported by republicans, but the public’s appetite for bailouts just isn’t there. It’s all part of the Left’s grand plan to kill insurers and usher in single payer.

Since insurance on the exchanges is a cost plus proposition costs are bound to go up.

Maybe the insurance companies should have a gun to their heads like the American citizen does with this POS law.
