the other guy, us, is hurting regardless of the law. those within 400% of federal poverty levels are going to be getting subsidies, both to pay premiums and their stop losses will also be subsidized. that money will be coming from where? us. premiums increasing-i read that some expect them to rise 30%. we're paying for that.
and i'm also wondering about copays and deductibles for those getting subsidies...who will pay those?
obamacare is a rotten law.
single payer!! that is the only way to actually fix all this mess.
and when do fed. budgets ever come in correctly? cbo is already jacking up the price. states and medicaid already going break, how will they pay for the increases, with some states already cutting their medicaid budgets?
we can either bite the bullet and do what needs doing, or just do like we do with so many other things-kick it down the road for our kids and grandkids to worry about.
