The ACA means nothing when you stay at one company because it has good health insurance but you want to quit and go to work for another but its health plan is not as good or is a lot more expensive.

I keep hearing this rhetoric, although I'm not really sold on how true it is. Up until 2016 every job I had, had employer sponsored health insurance. It never was a factor when it came time to switch companies, and I don't ever recall a coworker stating they are stuck their because of the healthcare. In fact, the last switch I made I went from a direct employee with employer sponsored healthcare, vacation, sick days and nice 401k plan, to a contractor with nothing. No healthcare, no 401k , no sick days or vacation. It was one of the best moves I've made.
My God, just ran numbers for an individual policy.
The premium is almost as much as a Tesla payment, actually not quite; but definitely a mid-priced new vehicle.
To put this in even greater perspective, it's almost quadrupled over a 20 year period; which was the last time I needed this type of policy for self-employed.
It's a shame that Becky Obama's mom didn't believe in late-term abortion. It would have been a fitting end to his beginning, which was the statutory rape of an underaged girl, the same thing that most Dems s**t the bed on about the recent Roe v Wade ruling.
The Lies Obama told about Obamacare were so bad that even the pre-Bezos WaPo called him out, but he knew he could lie because if they called him out on his lies, everyone would scream "that's soooo raycess!!!!"
The problem is that the vast majority -- and by that, I mean 86% of the population -- are not critical thinkers. If they were, they never would have elected a buffoon like Becky.
The premiums, co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums of most Obamacare policies hardly qualify them to be labeled as "insurance".
again, OP is surgically cherry picking to support his very misleading headline that health insurance plans are to skyrocket. From their own soure:
Quote:
The average premium for single coverage is 4% higher than the single premium last year, and the average premium for family coverage is 4% higher than the average family premium last year
Increases aren't that high, and are consistent with that they were during Trump's term. Don't choose to be a low information voter, use you head and recognize when someone is manipulating instead of just going zombie mode.
And just think it all started with Obama saying that with the "Affordable" Care Act we could Keep our Doctors and our Healthplan.
I wonder how many people would fall for this today?
As I have posted previously, Obamacare more than doubled my premiums and greatly increase my deducible and maximum out of pocket for the same coverage I had.
Dems have skyrocketed out health care costs already and continue to do so.
Democrat "help" always screws Americans over.
