    I only read the headline.

    However, in Arizona, unsubsidized premiums for a hypothetical 27-year-old buying a benchmark “second-lowest cost silver plan” will jump by 116 percent, from $196 to $422, according to the administration report.

    But it seems to me, average plans of employer provided health care are over $1,000 a month. Not to mention, that with the exchange, you can switch to a different provider if you don't like the cost.

    Someone at work was saying that in many states (not sure how many) so many insurers have pulled out that there are places with only one choice now. Take it or leave it. Again, work convo so no idea if true, but a fact check might be in order.

    To me it sounds like a good time for politicians to step up and make some changes to the bill to fix it then.

    You got EVERYTHING you wanted. A positive vote on a bill unwritten. You had the chance to tweak healthcare getting more people insured and instead you destroyed it.

    Your open border policy and free healthcare for immigrants is directly reflected in these obscene mandatory tax increases.

    I would prefer just repeal it, but that isn't going to happen so this thing clearly needs some serious fixes. No idea what those should be, but this seems to be a shit sandwich as it stands.

    But that would be racist.
