Obama says he's "not responsible" for skyrocketing costs
Posted: Oct 21, 2016
Easy question for you liberals: What do you think he'd be saying if the costs were lower under Obamacare (as they were supposed to be)? That's right. He'd be doing a victory lap and taking FULL credit. What a scumbag.;
We knew he would blame the insurance companies, but - when you have more people taking out
[ In Reply To ..]than paying in, it's simple math. Of course, that was the plan all along, bankrupt the insurance companies in favor of govt AKA single payer.
My 30 YO healthy daughter is paying $500 a month! That is just ridiculous.
When insurance co. could refuse to serve sick people - sm
[ In Reply To ..]In the good old days, insurance costs were a lot cheaper and insurance executives could just roll in the dough. Of course sick people not getting health care was beside the point.
In the good ole days, insurance was just major medical and not - doctor's offices. People actually PAID CASH.
[ In Reply To ..]Then you wouldn't have all these "rich" insurance executives. Most of them went along with Obamacare anyway.
This was always meant to fail and blame the insurance companies. Jonathan Gruber even said as much.
Then the insurance companies got wise.
As their cost goes up, the rest of us who eat right, don't smoke - and live healthy lifestyles and had
[ In Reply To ..]low premiums are paying the price.
One needs to look at things objectively and not from one's own perspective.
If we are going to free America from the stranglehold - which our healthcare system has
[ In Reply To ..]become, then we need to free up providers from a massive, amount of government control and interference.
That control and interference is a very big reason our healthcare is so darned expensive, and the simple fact that our healthcare is completely noncompetitive. Nobody can compete. So it has become prohibitively expensive.
If we do not have competition, then the price will just keep going up. One way or the other.
I've been reading about concierge medicine as an alternative to insurance.
Could have been taking care of by Medicaid or allowing people to shop - across States. This is about control
[ In Reply To ..]and expanding centralized government.
I for one do not want the government telling me what I can and can't do as far as healthcare. Funny how women say that about abortion, but not health in general.
Obama slashed the FSA on health accounts hurting a lot - of families. I still seethe with
[ In Reply To ..]anger over this (and taxing medical devices).
Those on the receiving supplement side don't care. Only those - of us paying for it care. Once
[ In Reply To ..]you have 50% receiving rather than paying, it's over.
Dontcha love how Obama calls single payer - "public option" as if there
[ In Reply To ..]was competition?
Congrats, insurance industry.
You are now Charlie Brown, and he has the football.
Hope it was worth it.
The true intent of the left's next frontier is to - wreck our healthcare system,
[ In Reply To ..]with the Cloward-Piven instrument known as Obamacare. It is now clear, overload and wreck our healthcare system so something new can be replace it.
Remember Jonathan Gruber...Lack of political transparency is a HUGE political advantage. The STUPIDITY of the America voter is really critical to getting Obamacare to pass...
Is he whining? His law revamped the entire industry and more - warnings about its problems have
[ In Reply To ..]come true than the great promises made about it in order to get it passed.
That's one reason they kept delaying the employer mandate. They knew that this day was coming and they were just hoping they would be out of office by then.
A growing number of people in Obamacare are finding - out their health insurance plans
[ In Reply To ..]will disappear from the program next year, forcing them to find new coverage even as options shrink and prices rise.
At least 1.4 million people in 32 states will lose the Obamacare plan they have now, according to state officials contacted by Bloomberg. That’s largely caused by Aetna Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc. and some state or regional insurers quitting the law’s markets for individual coverage.
Sign-ups for Obamacare coverage begin next month. Fallout from the quitting insurers has emerged as the latest threat to the law, which is also a major focal point in the U.S. presidential election. While it’s not clear what all the consequences of the departing insurers will be, interviews with regulators and insurance customers suggest that plans will be fewer and more expensive, and may not include the same doctors and hospitals.
It may also mean that instead of growing in 2017, Obamacare could shrink. As of March 31, the law covered 11.1 million people; an Oct. 13 S&P Global Ratings report predicted that enrollment next year will range from an 8 percent decline to a 4 percent gain.
ABC News.
ABC is reporting this! I'm shocked, not about the result but that it's ABC!
Rising costs - Just another slave
[ In Reply To ..]Because costs under his rotten scheme have risen so high, I am now unable to afford premiums even with a state subsidy, so I am now uninsured. Good luck trying to get the penalty from me at tax time, because I can guarantee you, I won't have it then either.
