Sick people, sick people, sick people! What does that have to do with anything?
We're talking cash flow here. Profitability. Quarterly results. Don't you people understand that sick people are a liability when you're trying to run a health insurance business? In fact, we could get the most amazingly healthy profit margins if you bleeding-heart do-gooders would stop all this bleating about "sick people". They are all just itching to get their big payday for their "chemotherapy" or "dialysis" or whatnot, living on for way longer than is reasonable and hurting our balance sheets every. single. day.
It's misleading to say that their premiums will skyrocket. In reality, it's their tax-payer funded subsidies that will decrease. In other words, they're going to have to start picking up their own slack rather than relying on others to foot the bill for their higher risk.
So boo-hoo to those crying that their handouts are going to diminish.
Why do you think Cruz got that provision added? If anything could be said about Trump, it might be that he saved us from Cruz, if in fact, voters had been even crazier than they were.
There's nothing anyone can do. That exactly what healthcare insurers want, to only insure healthy people
Only healthy people would be able to buy insurance and once they get sick they can join the uninsured because they won't be able to afford the premiums. Wealthy people(the ones who hire lobbyist) can easily afford $100k-200k in case of a medical emergency, the average American can't.
The don't want to only insure "healthy people". They want to be able to charge premiums that offset actual risk. That's how they make a profit. Insurance companies are businesses, not charities.

While special snowflakes who have employere-paid insurance won't have to pick up THEIR slack.
