Maryland finds Obamacare costs are growing
Baltimore Sun ^ | August 29th, 2017 | Meredith Cohn

“The losses incurred by carriers since the beginning of the Affordable Care Act are unsustainable, and premium increases that are the result of that are also unsustainable...it’s critical that folks in D.C. put aside their political differences and fix this thing. Otherwise, it will implode.”

Rumor has it, the Maryland General Assembly, under absolute rat domination will mandate that everyone in MD must have health insurance

I don’t know if anyone posted about it, but Aetna is leaving the Texas individual market at the end of this year.

Fortunately I own a small business and I also can get a plan as a retiree of my prior employer. I have gotten quotes for both.

They are kind of painful, but I can afford them.

If a private health insurance company marketed their policies by claiming $2500 annual savings, keep your plan, and keep your doctor the CEO and executive staff would be in prison.

Democrats “relied on the stupidity of the American voter” to push this turd through and must be made to own this turd as is dies.

re> Maryland's insurance commissioner

He was for it before he was against it. Sounds familiar.

Again, someone please tell me what “implode” really looks like.

“Implode” or not, it seems to me we are going to be left with a cluster dance of more taxes, regulations, massive government spending, mandates and corrupt political payoffs.

When Trump said he could just let it go and do nothing. That it would implode on its own. Again Trump was right while the media trashes him.

Well, Maryland, your Senator Barbara Milkulski voted for Obamacare in the first place.

Your Senators Cardin and van Hollen had a chance to replace it but they didn't

Do I feel sorry for you people of Maryland?

No, I don't.

I sure hope not. That will just send more of them scurrying over the border here to Pennsylvania.

Implosion was the objective from the beginning. They knew it would break the existing system and they would be out of office when it happened. The media will blame republicans and they will roll over and fully institute government health care.

Congress still believes they can pick up a turd by its clean end as they continue to try to fix the unfixable—Obamacare.
