<< Democrats have spent billions subsidizing coverage through the exchanges without doing anything to address the structural reasons why the cost of insurance has surged. Their approach is making insurers rich — at the expense of taxpayers and patients. >>

Which was the plan all along.

And our insurance agent says no one will take it because the payback is so poor.

I tried to tell everyone that I knew that this was a disaster in the making

But there were far too many worshipers of the Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama and his obvious lies

Fools

Truly, honestly, I can’t think of a thing that gooberment touches that does not get worse or cost more or both. Can anyone think of anything that gooberment does that actually has gotten better? Please, tell us if you can.

Another campaign issue if we can run with it. Trump gets things done. I remember him saying his own plan will cover ‘everybody’. Perhaps his confidence is what’s needed now.

He should put nurses in charge of his new system. They’re the ones who take care of the patients and women will know he respects them while the doctors are giving the appearance of the indifferent rich out there.

Opportunity missed? You tell me.

Recall wise freepers had plenty of good ideas to help reduce costs, but unfortunately none of them involved kickbacks, DNC donations or more socialism...

Until lawmakers address Obamacare's flaws

Since the core flaw is commie care itself, the only way to address it is to repeal it.

Because it was never really about medical care.

It was and is about money and power.

This is an EASY FIX to Obamacare and it is guaranteed to work.
We need the PEACE Act. The Public Employee Affordable Care Enrollment act, and Mandate that EVERY PUBLIC EMPLOYEE in America Enroll in The Affordable Care Act and pay for it them selves. Our public employees deserve the very Best Health Insurance this country has to offer, and that is OBAMACARE.

Government payments is what has driven the cost of insurance and healthcare up for decades. The government sets a fee it will pay for a certain procedure. The doctors and hospitals all know what that number is so they will charge MUCH more and accept the loser payment. But they also know that next year the government will raise the amount they pay.

And the cycle repeats itself over and over.

obunko-care ruined my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters. A HS teacher and coach, a guidance counselor, their premiums quadrupled and their $800 deductible soared to $10,000 under bunko-care. Many maladies were left untreated as a result.

They became depressed over it, disenchanted, ceased to care about things they used to exult in. As soon as the daughters were out of the house and the oldest graduated from college, they split up.

Agreed. The purpose of their plan was to force government universal coverage

Obamacare was really:
An insurance industry bailout. Before Obamacare profit margins for health insurance companies was in the 1-5% category (close to business failure) after it was 50-100%

Tax on the middle class to subsidize those who didn’t do the right thing.

Expansion of federal government

Gateway to loss of privacy (having records online) while being able to blame Physicians

Software company (health records) bailout for unpopular EMR’s

A healthcare system that was always unaffordable, made no attempts to control costs, so it would fail spectacularly, and ‘socialized medicine’ with more federal control could be done next. It was a step to socialism/communism from the get go.

Dramatically allowed for increased government propaganda and control, by affording a ‘media and advertising budget’ in the billions, which took over other industries independence.

Was a giant lie to the American public, which cost trillions, and never delivered on what was promised.

this:

“This year, the average enrollee with a mid-level silver plan had to meet a deductible of nearly $4,900 . Less generous bronze plans had an average deductible of nearly $7,500. Historically, roughly three-quarters of exchange plans have confined their beneficiaries to narrow provider networks.”

you have to pay the deductible first b4 the health plan pays anything, and they pay at the medicade rate, which is below even medicare rates..
