Not me. Let the insurance companies die. Go bankrupt. The country would be better off without them.

And I know where your going with this. But........ it is for many procedures. If you don't have the money or "coverage" a hospital or doctor isn't going to start you on chemotherapy unless you can provide one of the two. You don't get a heart transplant unless you come up with the money or show proof of coverage. Sorry, that's how it works in the US. That's why being uninsured can be a death trap.

Actually no..

ACA is expected to cost over ONE TRILLION dollars over a 10 year period.. Your looking at old estimates which excluded many costs.

Medicare covers a hell of a lot more individuals..

We had 36 million uninsured americans when ACA was passed, not expected to get below 30 million per CBO reports.

Thats a net increase of 6 million for ONE TRILLION DOLLARS, for $16,666 per individual per year...

And all of this has to be passed onto the taxpayers..

Thats not cheaper then medicare

Ahem, there are 'profit guarantee' provisions in Obamacare; for 'for profit insurance companies. Please read more, before opening your mouth, err typing.
