1. A point that can help you understand the basics of insurance: Group policies lower costs because they're risk pools that can be assessed. ACA was supposed to do that nationally. Thats why it was a GOP idea. But, once Obama proposed the GOP idea, the GOP abandoned it and...
2...spent years spewing propaganda, then did everything they could to make the risk pool impossible to assess. Dropping out of Medicare expansion, killing risk corridors, fighting mandate - all of this was either intentionally designed to raise premiums or the GOP fighters....
3...are the dumbest people in the world. Why did they do it? Because their insured contributors didn't like paying more in taxes. Thats it. And so they lied and attacked and lied and attacked, raising single policy premiums because no insurance company had any idea....
4...how to assess the risk pool. And when you can't assess the risk pool, you have to raise premiums to account for unknown risk. It's that simple. America will never have good health insurance, because we believe the nonsense spewed by people who don't want to pay 4 cents...

6...and while I will not reply to them, follow the comments on this feed. Already, people are showing they understand nothing about medical economics and how ACA worked are spewing their "brilliance." None of them can admit they have never learned this complex field of knowledge.
sorry, sorry - brain disconnect. Dropping out of medicaid, not medicare, expansion.
