Besides the higher premiums, people are starting to face the fact that the promise of lower premiums came at a price of much higher deductibles. Once they were hit with the first few medical bills and realized they were on the hook for them, many stopped taking the insurance. Nice system! /s

And they had the gall to name it the “Affordable” Health Care act.

I do believe that if Zero and his cohorts, you know the names, thought they could get by with it, the “Deplorables” would be hauled off in boxcars and put in camps, ya think?

As someone already pointed out, once you factor in the horrendous deductibles, it’s pretty much already vanished. Poof!

The good news is, that the chocolate rations have been raised to 25 grams per week.

I want to see first Jonathan Gruber drawn and quartered, and then go up the chain from there.

Arrogant social engineers and devious politicians are crushing the average citizen under their wheels.

“Prices for medicine, doctor appointments and health insurance rose the most last month since 1984.”

What do you expect from the “Affordable Care Act”?

“All aboard for the Single Payer Express!”

Don’t know whether we could have a “good” single payer system or not, but it would have to be done right, and there is no chance that our politicians can do it right.

So, my solution for now is a competitive medical marketplace. Lotta big boys going to stand in the way of that.

I think you are overoptimistic. If I have stuff lying around that I consider deplorable I don’t put it in storage. I think that should be enough said.

If you want to make something more expensive, subsidize it.

10 years ago, the housing bubble burst, so even though it has recovered it is still down.
