You can’t believe everything Ezra Klein says

And I believe what you say because? Every year that I worked and was covered by an employee health plan, be it an HMO, third paty, or self insured, the costs increased and the availability of my choices of doctors and surgeons went down. Also, being insured meant that when my child developed, isn’t that a wonderful word, leukemia, the hospitals and insurance company would throw the bill back and forth until it landed in my lap, between “experimental” and “beyond reasonable and customary”. I was threatened with a fucking Sheriffs sale because I thought that if I acted in good faith and paid what I could afford every month all would be fine. I was wrong. It was, to them, as if I bought a TV and could not make payments. They could call that marker in at any time. So you, posting that a tightening of networks is somehow the result of Obamacare is; Just. A. Fucking. Lie. That premiums dropped one tenth of one percent would be good news. I would hope that you never have to go through what my family did, and many others. And if someone you cared for has, or will get, a pre existing condition, you may understand. Up until that point STFU.
