Insurance should be for things in life you have but don't need; ie cars, homes, materialistic items.

 

Health care is something you need in life no matter who you are. Everyone doesn't need to own a car or a home. Every person alive needs to have health care. Comparing materialistic items to an essential piece of life is just nonsensical. A person's ability to live a healthy life should not be dictated by businesses and a marketplace. 

 

Well said.

For the past several months we've observed in complete amazement as Democrats have repeatedly hailed the 'great accomplishments' of Obamacare while the system was literally, and quite tangibly, collapsing in epic fashion all around them.

 

The latest evidence of Obamacare's "death spiral" comes from the state of Maryland where insurers have just submitted their rate increase requests to Insurance Commissioner Al Redmer. Unfortunately for Maryland residents the numbers are fairly staggering, in a bad way, with the largest insurer in the Mid-Atlantic region, CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, requesting a 50% YoY premium increase.

 

The new rates would mean that a 40-year-old nonsmoker in the Baltimore area would face premiums ranging from $359 a month to $715 for a benchmark plan, before receiving any federal subsidies. CareFirst said the rate increases are necessary because the company has lost $600 million serving ObamaCare exchanges since the company first started selling plans in the marketplace 4 years ago.

 

Meanwhile, the proposed 2018 rate hike of 50% comes on top of a 25% hike in 2017 meaning that Maryland residents will be paying 87.5% more for individual health insurance plans in 2018 than they were in 2016.

It was an unsustainable plan from the start. You can't make people buy what they don't want. Recently one of the architects of Obamacare said that the only problem was that the fine for not buying insurance wasn't large enough.

 

These people are fucking delusional

Not well said, a persons ability to live a healthy life should be 'enhanced" by businesses and the marketplace, if it's the govt you have no choice, other than that which was chosen by corrupt, imbecile bureaurcrats.

 

 

You two are beyond help.

The plan is working just fine in the states that implemented it properly.   Hopefully what comes out of this is in the economically prosperous blue states like Colorado and California is we just get better  and the shithole red states just get worse.   Obviously you will continue to live in a blue state.  You should move to a conservative paradise like Arkansas

1/3 of the state's only have one insurer. Just heard people's rates in Maryland are going up 50%. Iowa will have no insurers by the end of the year.

Trump has been saying he is going to deliver TREMENDOUS healthcare. His voters have believed him. R middle and lower income support for govt provided healthcare is skyrocketing. God bless Donald Trump.
