[quote=Anonymous]Here's an on topic post.  ACA has resulted in many who work getting hit with major costs for healthcare.  Poorly crafted ACA resulted in this in PA which will be a Clinton state:

Family of 4.  30k annually with premiums and deductible.  Clinton's solution might be to raise subsidies.  But that doesn't solve the fundamental problems of the risk pool.  But did Obama intend this for people like those in the article?  NO.  Charming guy but doesn't care to represent the sort of people in the article.

"On the other hand, the current system works fine if you're eligible for Medicaid, if you're a lower-income working person; if you're already on Medicare, or if you get enough subsidies on a modest income that you can afford your health care," Clinton said. "But the people that are getting killed in this deal are small business people and individuals who make just a little too much to get any of these subsidies."

And localities [25 with the largest est pop of illegals] spend 1 billion annually on their healthcare. Read the article and the delivery method.   Is this something that citizens would prefer and scrap private insurance?

We are stuck paying for them.  No more medicaid no more ins. Just free.  http://www.wsj.com/articles/illegal-immigrants-get-public-health-care-despite-federal-policy-1458850082

"California will have around 1.5 million adult immigrant residents without insurance in 2019. To offer Medicaid to those who meet the program’s low-income criteria, the state likely would have to find at least $400 million more a year, according to an estimate by the University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Labor Research and Education that is based on the assumption that not everyone would enroll. If everyone did, the price would likely grow to at least $720 million."
