re: #166 Eclectic Cyborg

Hmm, ok. So the GOP was actually right about the particular negative impact of the ACA?

Setting aside partisan score keeping for a moment as counterproductive to objectively evaluating the facts and events-I don’t think it’s beyond reason to think rates and coverage will go up together. Maybe better care for more people costs more money, and we will just have to knuckle down and accept the possibility in the near/mid term. Maybe like higher taxes or higher mortgage rates or higher energy costs when oil goes up we just have to pay. Vastly more care (all those uninsured) at less costs for the average payer might have been an oversell.

I’m not posting this as a ding on the admin, but a a look at events and wondering what the next best steps might be. Like maybe adding medical insurers to the authority of our insurance commission. Adding that regulatory oversight as a check on corporate power.
