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. |
Well I hate to argue with someone that knows everything
My BCBS premiums in 2016 were $1130/month for a family of 4. My 2017 premiums increased to $1689/month - An increase of $559/month or 49% increase. Not only that my deductible raised and my coverage went to the less desirable HMO from PPO.
