Wrong again Alpine Fisher.
"The Kaiser study shows that average family premiums rose 20% from 2011 to 2016. That rate of increase is actually much lower than the previous five years (up 31% from 2006 to 2011) and the five years before that (up 63% from 2001 to 2006)."

The ACA was actually a drag on healthcare costs. What happens when you remove the legislation on insurance companies? Costs go through the roof. What happens when you let the market dominate healthcare decisions? You have epi-pens jump 500% over night. But don't worry, the market will rescue you. The mortuaries will battle for your business when you have to bury a loved one because you couldn't afford the healthcare to save their life.
