Wrong. How would you know anyway?

My rates have been the same since 2001.

This is the first rate change in 9 years thanks to the scam care bill.

The letter telling me that the rates have changed even mentions the new laws taking effect next month was the purpose of the needed rate change.

Thanks dems and Obama for screwing Americans who have EARNED and PAY for their healthcare over big time.

You aint seen nothing yet, the bills will continue to go up to cover the massive spending for nothing inside this scam bill.

Even if you subtract the influence of the private health insurance industry, health care costs have skyrocketed over the decades.

Do you recognize the one constant in all those years?

Can you discern what changed the "one man operation" doctor's office, with perhaps a nurse, into the "full blown" medical profession office, with an office manager, intake specialist, receptionist, assistants, and technicians?

Ditto for dentists.

What changed the hospitals into endless pits to pour money into?

WHAT REALLY CAUSED PRICES TO GO UP UP UP?

Ans. The government.

Expecting government to reduce costs when government is responsible for cost escalation is not reasonable nor rational.

Blaming everyone else but government, is counter productive.

Sure it WAS.

But we needed to pass it before we knew what was in the bill.

Boy are we in for a circus ride or what.

The more I read about this the more I'm convinced that they want to price everyone out of health insurance to give them reason to create a nationalized, subsidized with taxes, health insurance.

I don't know why though..just add onto medicare and medicaid and start charging people.
