Havas1 which subsidies? The ones you pay to Walmart and McDonalds by allowing them not to insure their employees so they drag on the system? or the ones you pay for the ACA because you're one of the few in America lucky enough to make more than $250K a year? Help me understand.

Nah, I'll be dead soon anyway.

I do. Yes, but not so much me as other people and our economy in general.

Yes, I do- and it's scary. And there's really nothing I can do about either this legislation or my (hereditary) chronic illness.

You'll be fine. We'll go back to insurance plans 8 years ago. Shit they were actually cheaper for most

Havas, rates have been rising much much more slowly since Obamacare. Back in the early 2000's, it rose 10-20% every year for everyone

CD what about govt subsidies that reduce the rates you're talking about that I am forced to pay for? Also what about areas where options for coverage are dropping? Every statistic can be skewed either direction

I'm talking about FTE rates. Healthcare inflation has slowed substantially since Obamacare. That's the facts.

I read one report showing that some of the impacts are likely to steep into the employer provided insurance as well... sounds like no one is safe. Anyone know where to get a good, unbiased article on it?

Putting macro-scale statistics aside, I am paying a ton more for standard healthcare (primary care and occasional specialist) w high deductible plans than I used to 4 years ago. Something needs to change. While I don't have a line item on a tax return, the costs are being passed to me.

Absolutely Havas. That's true. But it was rising much faster year over year before the ACA. All the statistics are out there.

With this new plan we are going to lose so much money

I spose we shall see

I have like all of them and am pissed as hell!
