[quote]NP here.  I don't know anyone who owns a business or has individual policies that pays less under Obamacare ACA. [/quote]

Well then you should meet more people because I am one (SB owner of 25 years).  You should also do the math properly -- some of the things now mandated couldn't be purchased by individuals AT ANY PRICE, such as pre-existing conditions, pediatric dental, etc.

But you go ahead and keep white-knighting those insurance companies.

If folks are struggling to put enough money away for college clearly ridiculous insurance premiums under Obamacare are one of the reasons.

You sound rude and crude. And I might add a bit uninformed about the details of insurance but that’s understandable because most people are. [/quote]

Did you read my post? I clearly stated I was able to get things for my employees (and myself) that WERE NOT POSSIBLE AT ANY PRICE PRIOR.

[quote]Anyway, the ACA did in fact mandate an incredibly extensive (thus expensive) benefits package, which does of course relate to overall premium expenses.[/quote]

Yes, like pre-existing conditions, which could affect as many as half of Americans, and which is incredibly popular with them:

Odd how you didn't originally admit that people were getting more value, and things they wanted and needed, until it was pointed out.  Hmmmm.....

[quote]Most people can self-insure for pediatric dental and many  screening tests and spend much less per year than they do now for these benefits they’re paying for and often not using under the ACA.  [/quote]

I do not believe this is correct.  But as I suggested, you keep white-knighting those insurance companies.

[quote]The provider network behind ACA plans are also incredibly limited, which makes for a frustrating patient experience.[/quote]

So fix those.  Make it better.  Make it work.  Unless that doesn't fit your narrative.
