[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My health insurance premium is going up 10% this year. If you look at Kaiser Foundation data they show average premiums are up over 20% in the last 5 years and almost 50% in the last 10 years to $25k per family.

If doctors aren’t getting that money then it’s the insurance companies’ fault, not the ACA (which actually requires that at least 80% of premiums be spent on care).

Also $25k (or more) isn’t “pixie dust”. [/quote]

+1 our premiums are through the roof, and docs aren't seeing a penny of this, so opening conciergeries.

1. We will realize our insurance pays for nothing, stop purchasing it, except for catastrophic care.
2. Like the cable companies when everyone dumped cable and just got the minimum broadband connection, insurance companies will panic and start bundling their catastrophic care until it is just as expensive as our old premiums.
3. They profit and we are suckers again.
4. We need a single payer system and to stop enriching insurance execs.
