And rise it will. They have to get it entrenched first... then premiums, deductibles, prescription costs will sky rocket.
Too bad the drug companies forced the closure of Canadian online pharmacies which supplied cheap Rx drug to the US. If they get any higher who is benefitting?

I agree 100% on that. Med costs are crazy. U.S pharmaceutical companies I am sure have a strong lobby.

The ones that are being subsidized a great deal will benefit. But I am sure anyone with a job will see rates climb.

They have medicare and some do have bennys if they managed their money correctly... or were wealthy to begin with.

BUT... we are finding that a lot of the sign ups are going on medicare... which is for seniors, disabled, and the poor. I'll have to check that out.

Thanks. From you I'm getting a far better picture of what is going on than through media. Do the disabled still have to go to court to get bennys?

You've got me there.

I do know that many "disabled" aren't really disabled at all.

The Goph deflects yet again.


As I said... she and her husband (who doesn't work) will be subsidized by others who will pay more.

I do wonder about the constant assertions that what works in every other country would not work in Freedomland.........






Utah Sen. Mike Lee. Here he is complaining that the White House request to insurance companies that they allow consumers to enroll in 2014 plans even after the Dec. 23rd deadline is probably just another step towards socialism.

But then again, Freedomland is a special place..........

I have great health care insurance. The quality is first rate. I think it's unlikely that Obamacare will provide its beneficiaries with anything beyond mediocre care. It didn't have to be that way.

Yes she will be subsidized as are all those wealthy elites, the state of Israel, as well Iraq and Afghanistan whose citizens are being subsidized by your tax dollars. Is that clear enough for you?

Gee, I was here last night.

You guys miss me already??

So good to know that I am loved here. But I only do about 3 or 4 posts per night. Not like in the old days when I used to do about 12 posts or more per night. Spend more time working at night as mod on a British sports website. Folks there love me even more than they do here. :)

PS ~ am more into freestyle and much more into boxing

Imagine a 30% rate increase for a policy that is just minimally better than the one being cancelled?
