As if higher premiums , high deductibles and copays are some brand new thing.
The GOP had unified power for years under Dumbya, and did nothing to rising premiums and higher deductibles except tell Americans that its the free market at work. They did hand Iraq over to Iran, though. Nice priorities.
No wonder Mitt lost.
Didya wanna make the case that premiums are now lower?
They are lower than anticipated. Same thing happened with the costs of Medicare D, which was passed back when new entitlements were apparently okay (that is, when passed by the GOP, the party of small government & free markets ) .
First, lower than expected by whom?
....and the two States that get pointed to in this are Ca and NY...two states who already had many of the mandated items in their plans.
Also...even "lower than expected" were true, you just admitted that premiums are higher...and they are, much higher.
