How did we the people, who paid for it, profit? By having our disposable income lowered? Do you not understand how the infusion of federal reserve notes lowers its value?
LMAO You mean besides how ACA lowers a majority of we the peoples disposable income which is a term you don't understand. Besides how we the people lost money on the bailouts? It was YOUR post that showed less income. Which is even less when you factor in ACA
The question to YOU is do YOU have anything of substance. You haven't posted anything yet.
Premiums rose by 5.4% for 2015 in all reporting states, the lowest annual increase in ages. The annual increase on individual premiums was 10% prior to the passage of ACA, including 11.7% in 2010.

Premiums rose and median income went down. How hard is that to understand?
Plus not everyone had and thus paid for that insurance. So those that didn't and now do, were hit even harder.
Agreed, thats why I said Obama was channeling Dubya. I dont like either bailout.
While we the people were suffering and selling to make ends meet, those that were bailed out had a huge influx of cash and bought what we sold at bargain prices. Forced upward movement of income and more income inequality.
I think Obama plans to fix this income inequality if congress allows it.
I wonder if the average deductible is getting larger now? I believe it was growing at ~6 percent the last few years. Makes sense as people have less money. Forgot where I read that.

Well, on the face of it, it lowers disposable income by at least 5.4% of the annual premium in the states to which you refer. In my case, in my state, where the premium increased by 9.3% this year, the difference amounted to $37 per month, or a $444 reduction in my disposable income for this year. Not much by best-selling authors' standards, but a good chunk of change for a peon like me.

Yeah right... he had all the previous years, including those with an all Dem congress, and what's happened? It's gotten worse.
As to the OP, the poster is a complete joke and out of touch with reality; has actually called Obama a god before here. It's a wonder anyone replies to the hit and run bootlicking posts anymore.
As long as the median income is rising too it wont bother me as much. Its the way the "1 percent" acquires that wealth that bothers me.
Agreed.
