...slowdown in healthcare spending increases...
Just look at that. That's the confirmation of the bait-and-switch I warned about right there.
Look at those words. "...slowdown in healthcare SPENDING INCREASES..."
In other words, costs are still climbing. The liberals couch the increases in a lot of smoke. And like it or not, ObamaCare was front loaded with tax increases for four years before it launched the subsidies.
What we are seeing now are the real time costs. And they are catastrophic. And for the states, they will get even more catastrophic in 2019.
During the ObamaCare debates before its passage, one of the chief arguments made by the pro-Obamacare rubes was that we have the highest per capita spending on healthcare in the developed world.
It was heavily implied that health care costs would GO DOWN. It was NEVER said there would be a "slowdown in spending increases".
This has been one of the biggest boondoggle bait-and-switch cons ever pulled on the American people.
Yearly increases were greater before the law passed. That is a simple fact.
Yes, and I have posted that fact many, many times, and excoriated the GOP for doing NOTHING during the decades healthcare costs outpaced inflation.
I am convinced the GOP sold us all down the river to the Democrats and single payer healthcare a long time ago.
I am retired military on TriCare Prime. I can go for an hour on how the government has been fucking us vets over on our healthcare for years now.Personal question. How do you procure health insurance?
Remember that lie about "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor?" We vets on TriCare Prime were the first ones to learn that was a lie.
We are trapped in this insane system where our healthcare depends on our geographical location.
TriCare Prime is not part of individual insurance market Obamacare primarily addressed. Everything we are talking about here is in the context of individual insurance market.
How has Obamacare SPECIFICALLY effected your doctors?
