The price has nothing to do with the mandate. Totally separate issues.
Their connected in that the mandate was supposed to control the price. The mandate failed, which is the primary reasons prices escalated so much.
Nothing? Ok.. I am forced to buy car insurance if I want to drive... and you contend insurance companies do not have a monopoly and can charge whatever they want? Very little competition in auto insurance because the states, even counties mandate coverage minimums and insurance are charging less, you think? The employer mandate created a situation where employers are forced to choose, participate in the insurance monopoly mandate, or cut hours.
I do not understand how the employer mandate kept prices the same or lowered them, so help me understand.
So why did trump.. the jobs prez, ignore the employer mandate?
That’s complete crap! So you think monopolies don’t cause price increases? Just wow! There are very few insurers, whose power was expanded into banking... and you think they are giving us great prices? Well ok then.
