There's a reason why your old plan didn't meet federal law.

Lord, please help the United States to see the light and change course sooner than that.

Waiting for the people under socialism, to get rid of it on their own, can be a very long wait.

A lesson from history.

I don't care what you claim you pay, or don't pay. The claim I replied to was that someone is paying 30-50% more for MY coverage, which is not true.

What if that is all they wanted, or felt they need?

I'm wondering how many people lost their health insurance coverage due to the ACA vs how many people gained coverage due to Obamacare. From what I have seen thus far, more have lost then have gained.

Correct, ACA took a problem that didn't exist and fixed it.

Perhaps you can back that claim up with something a bit more credible than "from what I have seen"?

Yeah, it was catastrophic coverage. It didn't cover things like a yearly physical, maternity or contraception. I don't need any of those things because I pay for my doctor visits out of pocket and I prefer it that way. I needed a catastrophic plan. That worked for me and my family. The new law took that option away and gave me things that I do not need and in the process made the new plans unaffordable and out of reach.

USSR didn't become communist because of healthcare. Likewise a lot of countries have had all kinds of HC systems, but they did not become USSR, and nor are they becoming like them.
