The atrocity of the decade is this unconstitutional, unfair, and unworkable monstrosity.
Everyone sold us out with this one - politicians, insurance companies, advocacy groups (like aarp), big media, and SCOTUS.
There will be higher rates this year, next year, and every year thereafter until either it is repealed or the system collapses. There is no way to reduce costs when a third party, controlled by politicians, is being forced to pay for a service that has limitless demand. No one wants to be sick or die and will have the gov’t force the other guy to spend to the last penny - and then some - to fund their medical care. Venal politicians are more than happy to accomodate as long as there are votes available for the effort.
Is there a candidate out there that will kill this giant welfare program? I don’t see any on the horizon.
My wife and I have the privilege of paying $14,000 in premiums and we get to pay the first $5,000 each in our medical expenses.
Since we eat properly, do not drink or smoke and exercise, we never get close to the $5000. All of what we pay is gravy for the insurance company.
I never thought I would look forward to getting on Medicare, but now it looks like a pretty good deal. I just have to hold out a few more years.
Thanks Obama.
Get ready for higher ObamaCare rates EVERY year - until the system collapses and the ‘crisis’ is used to ram single payer down our throats.
