81% rate hike for Obamacare - enough yet?

[francoHFW]

Repukes control both houses of Congress and the presidency and they couldn't do squat after criticizing the ACA for 8 years.
One of the biggest and monumental failures in this country's history.
The look on McConnell's face the night of the vote said it all.

U.S. tax agency no longer enforcing Obamacare individual mandate -report

More sabotage...Obama btw originally didn't think a mandate was necessary.

The American people do not want Obamacare hence the election of president Trump.

They don't want to face the reality of the cost of health care under Big Health/GOP a-holes. Better pie in the sky promises and brainwashing...

Health Insurers in Idaho Request Premium Rate Hikes As High As 81%

Health care insurers in Idaho have requested premium rate hikes as high as 81 percent for next year, according to the state's Department of Insurance.

The five insurers serving the individual market in Idaho are Blue Cross of Idaho Health Service, Mountain Health Co-Op, PacificSource Health Plans, Regence BlueShield of Idaho, and SelectHealth.

For all plans, insurers requested rates ranging from a low of 25 percent to a high of 51 percent for a combined average statewide rate increase of 38 percent. For Obamacare's popular Silver plan, the average rate increase among all insurers was even higher at 50 percent, with one insurer requesting a high of 81 percent.

"I am deeply disappointed and frustrated to share these rates," said Dean Cameron, who directs the department. "I understand how difficult it will be for Idahoans to afford reasonable coverage, especially those without a subsidy."

Some victims of The "Affordable Care" Act (read "Obamacare) are now paying more for health insurance than for their house mortgage/tax escrow montly. For some having deciding whether to have "affordable health care" or a place to live.

Congratulations liberals (off both parties)! You're quickly achieving the goal of turning Americans into welfare drones - 'cause then they get Obamacaid (Medicaid) ffor free. Well, free to THEM but straight out of YOUR pocket.

Before the ACA, they had ZERO providers. Besides potatoes, who lives in Idaho? That's the problem. Rural areas are tiny markets. What is it these f*cking right wingers don't get. And they claim they are so smart. That's why, to them, college is stupid.

Everything is going according to plan. When things get so horrible that everyone is complaining, the left plans to blame the right and then claim that single payer is the only answer.

Years from now, when there are super long waiting lists to obtain the mediocre care, it will be too late. If the left has their way, the day will come when the citizens are disarmed and enslaved to big government. We won't have rights and we'll resemble all the other communist countries. Socialism always leads to communism. Once one half get tired of carrying the other half, shit falls apart. To keep things going, government will be your master and tell you what to do. Liberals believe that most people are mindless sheep who want to be controlled.

Socialism has never led to communism without violent revolution. In fact, corrupt monarchies and unfair capitalism has. Socialism (fair capitalism with good safety net, always democratic) has actually STOPPED communism.

Socialism...mooching deadbeat losers who want to take MY money I worked to earn.

After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!! And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole?

The RW myth that people enjoy welfare...I know, GOP tax cuts for the rich and services for the nonrich, dupe.

None of your rantings changes the fact that socialist mooching deadbeat losers want to take even more of MY money I worked to earn and redistribute MY money to themselves. Do they not feel shame for taking handouts?

Not unless you make over 250k, dupe. And actually ACA holds the key to bringing down health costs.

WASHINGTON — Bipartisanship is suddenly the talk of Capitol Hill, where Republicans and Democrats are now expressing a tentative desire to join hands after a brutal debate over Obamacare repeal.

In the House, the "Problem Solvers" caucus, which consists of 43 members from both parties, put out a list of broad principles for a series of Obamacare tweaks.

"My hope is we can be responsible legislators and recognize we can take on those cost issues, we can take on the issue of health care, but let's do it together," said Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., who chairs the caucus, in an interview Tuesday.

The group's proposals include guaranteeing cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers, adding funding to help insurers cover expensive patients, partially repealing Obamacare's requirement for businesses to offer health benefits, and scrapping the law's tax on medical devices.

They also offered options to pay for the package, such as encouraging the use of generic drugs in Medicare. The cost could be a significant stumbling block to passage since it's likely the proposal would "significantly increase the deficit," according to Matthew Fiedler, a fellow at the Brookings Instutition.

In the Senate, Republican and Democratic leaders on the health committee announced in a joint statement that they would hold hearings early next month on how to calm Obamacare's tumultuous insurance markets.

"In my opinion, any solution that Congress passes for a 2018 stabilization package would need to be small, bipartisan and balanced," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the committee's chairman, in a statement.


deal with it ... ACA is the law.

Republicans chair the committee.

Trump will never sign such a bill. Obamacare is swirling down the toilet.

 

[bripat9643]

Remember 8 years ago, before Obamacare when insurance rates never went up?

Oh yeah, there were double digit increases all the time...

Right before Obamacare passed premium increases were in the mid single digits. Now increases of 30% a year are common.
