Only Big Government has the resources to allocate crony capital.

And only the progressive left demands Big Government.

And only the neurotic progressive left on Salon.com and Kos and Guardian.co.uk squealed that 45,000 souls were perishing every year for "lack of health care" and to, quote, "ram it through," unquote--and only the Dems did so.

I really do have to ask tho..Why are you blaming Government when it's the "Free Market"..you know Capitalism that is dictating pricing..Why not blame the Insurance companies who are making the Profits..The Government isn't making those profits..It's forcing those Corporate Capitalists to abide by common sense rule...

So will raise costs to feed their profit margin BUT will have to return to those that do not use cost above 80% of premium's paid get a rebate!! LOL.. They can not have it both ways now.....However..since no one even bothers to say it..Many of those fees get refunded IF NOT USED..by policy holder's who didn't use them!!Lets see IF I can find that trivia info??

An estimated 8.5 million Americans will receive rebates from their health insurers this summer thanks to the Affordable Care Act, which says companies that fail to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on health care must refund the difference to consumers

Sounds like it is working the way it was designed to work.

They're coming for Social Security next and gifting it to the Bankers.

You may as well absorb the cost and enjoy it. This is the new reality.

Individual policy owners do not get a refund based on what the individual has cost, if the total spent by the insurance company for all policies does not exceed 80% then all policies holders get a refund.

On the flip side if they are above the 80% threshold they will be asking for premiums to be raised such as they are doing here.

People are getting services they needed for a very long time,” Ms. Williams said. “There was a pent-up demand. Over the next three years, I hope, rates will start to stabilize.”
And 98% of them can't pay the 8,000 deductible. Stop and think about it for a minute. If you can barely afford a 200.00 a month subsidized insurance payment how in the hell are you going to afford an 8,000 deductible? The answer is they can't and they won't pay it. Guess who does, the working class that subsidizes the rest of their care. What a cluster fawk.

Or with pre-existing conditions. Or whatever gender has proven to use more health care coverage.
