I wonder why folks like me could see this coming before the congressional vote was over and the Affordable Care Act became law and the elected officials that voted for it and the President that signed it into law could not see it coming. They are a lot smarter than me, right?

Breaking insurers is part of the master plan to get to a single payer system.

Some will claim since the linked article is a Fox article it is bias, unreliable and inaccuarte. I'm currently working with an a few insurance agents shopping my home/auto and they can confirm its NOT. Fortunately my health insurance is covered and the covering agency has every incentive to be sure that Obama care looks wonderful to the consumer so they are willing to eat the cost increases at YOUR expense. So I say thank you tax payer!

Sadly Dan they are so much dumber than you I doubt we could measure the gap without using astronomical measurements of distance.

Well, in a way. Some of them are just that dumb, but others knew this was going to happen and want it to happen, still others didn't know what would happen but don't care as long as they thought they could use it to get votes and stay in power.

So for those other groups they aren't dumber than you, but then we have to measure relative morality and again we return to the use of the astronomical unit (the distance from the Earth to the sun is 1 au, this gap is bigger).

As many pointed out, the end goal was never for the AHCA to succeed. It was always a means to a single payer system.

Exactly. it's supposed to collapse, so the government can ride in and save us.
