"Medical claims costs are the main driver of health insurance premiums."
This is why Health Savings Accounts (HSA) tend to work well. People are better at budgeting and managing their own affairs than government.

The federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in health care and should stay out.
If they want to reduce costs, health insurance should not be used to cover routine doctor visits and prescriptions. Individuals should pay for these out of their own pockets. No claims to file or process. Insurance should cover catastrophic illnesses, accidents, hospital stays and or very expensive procedures, tests, etc.
States and local governments can decide on how many walk-in clinics, etc, they should provide for the poor and how they should be administered.
"It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think
that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it."
The interesting thing is that they are calling it “President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act”. I mean, we all know that it is his, but the the media is generally working hard to make sure the average low info voter doesn’t really get the relationship, or better yet, can be connived into blaming republicans for the increase.
It’s interesting they are giving Obama ownership of a negative.
In my non-actuarial opinion, their numbers are way too low.
I am so stuned ni the beiber
