Hmm, why am I not surprised that NW posted 52 seconds of a panel discussion that allowed him to stoke his paranoia. And the rest of the story is...

NW I read the WSJ every day , it leans hard right. I read George Will,Krauthammer, and all the righty financial columnists whenever they pen anything. Inhaling Drudge and sitting in front of Fox every night does not provide you with much perspective ...If you can handle it ,try reading the NY times once on a while..

NW30,

I don't know about you, but in my experience, health insurance prices have varied over the years, and that it's rare to pay the same rate year to year. I've had some years go up, while in later years come down, and that's with the same insurance company. To blame everything on the ACA is specious and hardly the truth.

In North Carolina, 350,000 individuals enrolled in Obama Care through the government exchange. 90% are being subsidized. I wonder who will be picking up the tab, the remaining 10%?

And yes, I know the percentages are better in some other states.

My personal health insurance has gone up about 100% in the last 4 years, most of the increase being in the last 2 years. A direct result of Obamacare and the uptopiate dems that voted for it because they were lied to.
I'd change my policy, but I'm only several months away from going to Medicare, so I'm just sucking it up for now to keep my reasonable deduction.

You'd better hope you hit Medicare before the next long-planned Ocare premium increase -- the one he knew but lied about -- hits the fan. It ranges from at least another 20% to 40% or more, as subsidies also pull back on schedule. Of course, as you know, the Supreme Court may outlaw subsidies altogether, putting an end to the whole Obamacare farce so we can get on with actually fixing our health care and insurance problems with -- we can only hope -- a much higher ratio of benefit to harm.

Don't I know that, I have a feeling it may just be off to the Twilight Zone, but I'll be finding out soon enough. This whole thing is FUBAR, and it can't be denied, but hopefully changed in a big way.
