Premiums still rising about as fast under Obamacare
Posted: Mar 24, 2016
That is, 30% in the 5 years before O-care, 28% in the 5 years after O-care.
But of course, that's not even the whole story. Those are just the premiums. When we look at other costs and also at what it all pays for (is the product as good?), the story is much, much worse.
The deductibles are much higher. Co-pays are higher. Choice is far more limited. And for all this added cost, many claims for services, medications and medical equipment that were covered before are now being denied.
Big Pharma and the insurance companies played a strong part in shaping O-care, and they made out like bandits. Obamacare is a far, far cry from how it was sold (with deliberate falsehoods) to the American people.

Obamacare was a gift for a bribe from insurance - lobbists who contributed to campaign
[ In Reply To ..]This is part of the political corruption Trump is fighting.
Not quite, though that was the result. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The public option was dropped from the bill in an effort at compromise with the republicans and a few democrats, yet not a single republican ended up voting for it. A public option would have given the private health insurance companies competition. This is why the ACA ended up being a gift to the insurance companies. Did special interests and lobbyists play a big part? You bet your life!

But they exaggerate. The law — the bulk of which has yet to be implemented — has caused only about a 1 percent to 3 percent increase in premiums, according to several independent experts. The rest of the 9 percent rise is due ...

Obamacare Is Failing From Behind... His Goals For ObamacareJul 20, 2016
1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch.

Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...

Add seasoned salt, onion powder, a hint of garlic powder, and black pepper and stir around. Throw in some chunks of Velveeta cheese and stir until cheese is melted all through. Serve on bun of your choice. You can use regular American cheese, but the Velveeta tends to melt easier and clean up in the pan easier. ...

Seems to me like Eric Holder may have bitten off more than he can chew on this one. Curious to see how this plays out. ...
