    At what point in time did premiums not increase every year?

    Just take a sample of the 10 worst increases only on exchanges. Why do you hate the other 250 million people on insurance?

    People had to have been economically illiterate to actually believe Obama when he said the law would lower premiums without any significant increase in government expenditures. The law added an enormous pool of people into the insurance market who were previously denied entry because they were too risky/expensive to insure due to preexisting illnesses. No shit that's going to increase costs now that insurance companies actually have to insure people they previously refused to take on.

    This is what happens when an entire political party unites against any kind of meaningful healthcare reform; you get a shitty, watered down law that has to spread the increased cost of insurance to everybody just to achieve the simple objective of letting Sally with stage 4 ovarian cancer actually obtain treatment where it's readily available in our first world country.

    Imagine what would happen if both parties looked at the shitty law and proposed a way to improve it. Rather than one side saying "we need to repeal it" and the other side saying "we can't repeal it, Republicans want to do nothing". So really both sides are sitting there with a thumb up their ass pointing fingers at the other.

    Defending Obamacare is beyond Hondo FS. It's an indefensible piece of legislation that was rammed down the people's throats. It was so massive in scope that batshit crazy speaker Pelosi admitted to not reading it, instead declaring it had to be passed to see what was in it. And people wonder why there's push back.

    Actually pelosi didn't admit to not reading it. But nice work regurgitating every false talking point.

    The law is fucked up but at least give a valid argument.

    You are

    Disagree. Since this board loves shitty football analogies: if I'm forced to choose between Sark and Ty and I choose the former, I'm defending Sark?

    I like to buy my collision coverage after I wreck my car. Works pretty much the same way.

    The vast majority of Americans agree that insurance companies shouldn't deny patients based on pre existing conditions. Not to mention how they used to be able to cancel people's insurance because of new conditions.

    You still can't get cancer and decide to pay for insurance and be OK like you are implying.

    No, but you can expect the insurance company to have to pay for all your futile treatment

    Whether the vast majority of Americans agree is a Mute Poont. The vast majority of Americans, and 100% of politicians, are idiots that have no idea how any business, let along insurance works. If you are 8 months pregnant, you shouldn't be able to start paying your premiums and have your birth paid for. Which is essentially what being forced to pay for pre existing conditions is. Companies couldn't work that way.

    Yes, Cancer sucks (so does FBA) but sometimes shitty things happen to good people. Why do I have to pay for other's problems if I don't want to.

    So you're saying that if I wreck my brand new car my insurance rates go up? THAT'S NOT FAIR

    Yeah its the GOP's fault that the democrats passed the bill that Obama wanted all by themselves.

    And that Obama lied like a rug to his stupid base who then still parrot the bullshit like Hondo does

    The GOP don't even have a platform for healthcare beyond "repeal Obamacare". For them, we were better off pre-2010 when millions of Americans were dying of treatable diseases because they couldn't access healthcare. If that's your ideal vision of America, then fuck you.

    The left at least aspire for something better, even if this shitty Obamacare compromise is what we're stuck with for the time being.
    You mean like Romneycare?

    Can we get an "assclown" symbol next to WTF? Seems it's needed at times.

    You already have been paying for other people's problems for years and years. Such as aspirin costing $20 a pill.
