20% by 2018
25% by 2020

Deficit goes up $6b by 2018 and $21b by 2020,[/quote]
But premiums were going up at that rate anyway. [/quote]

At 20% a year??  Name the plan and state, please. [/quote]

Virginia. Mine went up 17% in July[/quote]

Just like America’s pricey waistline. [/quote]

Before Obamacare, we paid a total of 700/mo. Now that goal is 2700/mo[/quote]
I paid $400 for an individual plan before Obamacare, and now pay more than $800. But that's for a plan with twice the deductible. If I wanted a plan comparable to the $400 plan, it was $1080. Almost tripled in three years!

Many supporters of Obamacare don't seem to realize that it has negatively affected millions of Americans' lives. While it helped some, it has absolutely hurt others. [/quote]
I have discovered that liberals in this area, with their $200k+ incomes, are oblivious to how difficult it is for a $50k earner to pay $800 a month in insurance. They seem to have divided people into two camps - the poor people who are entitled to 100% support - and everyone else, who can afford to make sacrifices in order to support themselves.[/quote]

I think this is a good point. Perhaps it's because they exist in a bubble where you don't tend to see a lot of lower middle class Americans. [/quote]
70% of people in the US want to keep ACA if a replacement that does something similar cannot be found. That's not a bubble  unless you think 70% of people are like those who are on dcum.[/quote]

I don't put too much faith in random polls. What would "something similar" even mean? Basically I think people are just trying to say that they don't want things to get even worse, which might happen if something is enacted that isn't "similar".  People are scared. [/quote]
Yes, people are scared that they might lose their health insurance, and that EO will definitely cause this to happen.

You don't have to trust polls. You yourself stated that people are scared that something worse will happen, and it will with this EO.[/quote]
