THE UN-AFFORDABLE, AFFORDABLE CARE ACT…


I’d be curious to know how many of our stellar younger generation might now be questioning the wisdom of they’re having decided to vote for Barry ‘Almighty". Because what they have now turned out to be is just another voting block that Barry has no problem in using to get what HE wants while making sure they get the shitty end of the stick.

Because it’s according to a newly released study that we now know Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act, which was supposed to make health care more affordable, has had just the opposite effect. This study shows that average premiums have skyrocketed and it’s these younger folks who could face increases of as much as 78 percent.

Average insurance premiums in the sought-after 23-year-old demographic rose most dramatically, with men in that age group seeing an average 78.2 percent price increase before factoring in government subsidies, and women having their premiums rise 44.9 percent, according to a report by HealthPocket scheduled for release Wednesday.

The study, which was shared Tuesday with The Washington Times, examined average health insurance premiums before the implementation of Obamacare in 2013 and then afterward in 2014. The research focused on people of three ages — 23, 30 and 63 — using data for nonsmoking men and women with no spouses or children.

The study to which I refer was entitled "Without Subsidies Women & Men, Old & Young Average Higher Monthly Premiums with Obamacare." And it is this study that points out the fact that the premium increases for 30-year-olds were almost as high as those for 23-year-olds, 73.4 percent for men and 35.1 percent for women.

Kev Coleman, head of research and data at HealthPocket, a nonpartisan, independently managed subsidiary of Health Insurance Innovations in Sunnyvale, California, said, "It’s very eye-opening in terms of the transformation occurring within the individual health insurance market." This was obvious to most people.

Coleman also went on to say, "I was surprised in general to see the differences in terms of the average premiums in the pre-reform and post-reform markets." And he added, "It was a higher amount than I had anticipated." Just what the Hell was this boob expecting to see happen? How naïve can someone be?

This is but one more example on a very long list of many, that proves this nationalization of our healthcare system was never intended to lower costs or to make healthcare more accessible to all. It was only intended to be a way for the government to control how one is able to obtain healthcare. Nancy did say we’d need to pass it to see what was in it.
