2017 will be the real test. The law contains two programs that will expire at the end of that year: "Risk corridors" and "re-insurance." Both programs conceal health insurance's true costs—costs that truly have skyrocketed thanks to the ACA's mandates and regulations.
Risk corridors and re-insurance operate in similar fashions: They subsidize insurance companies with taxpayer money. Risk corridors give insurance companies money if their customers spend more on health care than the insurer estimated; reinsurance allows insurance companies to bill the federal government for particularly expensive patients.

Unaffordable. The ‘Rat way ...
Public option push coming up as planned.
Yep.
October 2017 it goes negative...
It’s not a “surprise” to anyone who actually read the law when it was passed six and a half years ago.
Just a reminder
2014 article. Noticed some out-of-date statements in the comments.
Don’t buy into this sky-is-falling BS. The CBO scored ObamaCare as “budget neutral,” and that’s good enough for me.
After all, the CBO is as much an authority on budgetary matters as FBI Director Comey is on legal matters!
I should have noted the date but, there is nothing current.
Big surprise?
Yeah, your insurance bill.
And if Hillary wins, the response from the government will be, “Too f’ing bad. Pay or die.”
what congress should do is audit the TREASURY, the FED and all the Agencies
to find misappropriated funds, stolen funds, diverted funds...etc..
Then put a hold on Obama’s payments (salary, retirement, secuirty...etc)
until matters are resolved.
This will discourage executive abuse...
Likewise with the DOD lost $6 billion and the State Dept lost $6 billion and
the ransom money obama stole and diverted... cash... hwo do we know how much was delivered versus how much paid... ??
If federal Law has been violated... prosecute..
Add in the new DEA drug laws and this: Shortage of pain meds

They are already restricting the dispensing of pain meds for the chronically ill, who have no other recourse as their health conditions are not treatable with current medical technology. Or cause by it. SO NO PAIN PILL FOR GRANNY or healthcare.
There was supposed to be an input period, none of those who are chronic in pain were informed of it so they could present their medical records. Even Neurotin is going class 3 next year. It is not a cure for diabetic nerve pain or Fibromyalgia or other nerve damage pain, which are the biggest areas it’s used for. There are NO treatments for these diseases except pain control, same goes for people with no colon, degenerative backs, and Nerve Blocks have been restricted to 3 per year, and do not work for every one. All 3 Lyrica, Neurotin, and Cymbalta are way more addictive and side effect riddled than most common pain meds. Patients are not looking for complete pain control, it is not achievable, but going from a level 9 to a level 4 allows you to at least have some ability to function in a semi normal life.
They want to add a Pain Management doc to your health care many of the newly hired PM’s are just GP’s, a useless one in my opinion, having been through all the nerve blocks, steroid injections into joints, ER trips because of Lyrica, Neurotin and Cymbalta for severe back degeneration, torn rotator cuff, nerve damage and Fibromyalgia and non diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. So I’m reduced to Arthritis Strength Tylenol for level 9 pain.
Why rerun test that have already been run by specialist? Just driving up the cost of health care. You now have to pee test every time you get a refill if you can get one. Even Valium is restricted to 1 month with 2 refills. Pain meds are restricted to a new script monthly with pee test.
