The whole thing was if everyone pays we all pay less. Well, everyone doesn’t pay. Someone has to pay for those waivers!
Including me.. The week after Obamacare passed I received a letter from my health insurance company that my monthly rate is going up immediately by 10%. Then, a few months later, another letter at year end stating that on Jan 1, my rate is going up another 20%. Two more increases since that time.. Before Obamacare, my monthly premioum for good health insurance was $450. Now it's $750. That's about a 70% increase. Nice, huh?
Nobody pays less until you take some costs out of the system.
