| Healthcare premiums were rising pre-ACA as well. Some indication is that the YoY increases have slowed since ACA. |
Yes because if you don’t buy health insurance and need services, you are driving up the costs for others. If everyone is insured the pool of risk is larger and costs should be controlled but because it is a for-profit system, insurance must pay large executive compensation packages and shareholders. |
Thus, why illegal immigration has destroyed our healthcare system. Illegal aliens get healthcare at the ER, don’t pay, and the healthcare systems raise prices on those of us that are insured. |
Thank you! I keep screaming this at the top of my lungs. It’s a myth that the GOP is “good for business” especially small business. The ACA has helped our small business and our employees families. Guess what, that put all of their earnings back into the economy, they don’t hoard their wealth. |
Wow. That's so Darwinian of you. It's fine not to pay until you get into an accident or get cancer -- then what do you do? A very wealthy friend is receiving cancer treatment that costs $60,000 per month. Even he can't afford that. Should everyone who can't afford treatment for their conditiin just die? Is that what you suggest? |
If you are going to post lies, at least have the courtesy to lost links to statistics that show what you are lying about is true. Don't have any statistics, legitimate ones, that is? Then STFU. |
Since the vast majority of pregnancies requiring maternity and obstetric care involve male participation, that seems at least as fair as having women pay for insurance that subsidizes gunshot wounds and other results of impulsive behavior. Would you feel better, PP, if, instead, single men were neutered — and, in return, had lower insurance rates? |
Single women pay for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and general male stupidty (pplaying paintball, with chainsaws, pretending to be woodworkers and sawing a finger off). |
Well who do you think fathered some of these children. . . SINGLE MEN |
Would you prefer hospitals and doctors require deposits before treatment? Boke your leg, that's 15k or leave. Cancer diagnosis? 250 cash, otherwise hit the road jack. |
Good idea. If you have a vasectomy + confirm you are shooting blanks you no longer have to pay for premiums to cover maternity care. Of course, post-menopausal women also should get the same decrease right? |
Everyone conveniently ignores this. |
it was increasing like that before the ACA. |
Ok, let’s see if our healthcare costs go down even a penny after a few more years of ICE roundups. |
No, see, that's just "medical care," because men are the default. Women's health care? That's for girls. /s |
