[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I already buy outside the exchange, and the premium still went up 50%.  This is a fallacy.

I hate to say this but shouldn't the private premiums go down now that the health insurers aren't forced to cover every tom, dick, and jane with expensive pre-existing conditions or who have been abstaining from getting needed medical attention until now?[/quote]

Maybe, maybe not.  One of the reasons rates went up was because companies were required to cover more in some cases.  Most people that complained that they lost their insurance had their coverage dropped because it wasn't good so it didn't meet ACA standards.  Once ACA is rolled back, those bad but cheap policies will return.

[quote=Anonymous]As I recall--could be wrong--coverage of pre-existing conditions and extending parents' insurance to children under 26 were the two features of ACA conservatives liked.[/quote]

Yes those were added with the ACA and yes the Republican's CLAIMED to like them BUT and this is the key thing here - it's not possible to have those, especially the pre-existing conditions requirement, without mandiatory coverage.  Without mandatory coverage for everyone, insurance companies cannot afford to do pre-existing conditions.[/quote]
