re: #10 Eclectic Cyborg

Combination of factors.

Let’s also note that the rates can be going up because the insurers are now including more expansive policies that no longer have lifetime caps, preexisting conditions limitations, and now provide more comprehensive care than prior policies.

Also, preventative care is now included.

So, in many of these cases, we’re talking apples to oranges and those who are complaining about the costs don’t actually understand what they’re looking at with the policies.

Or that health insurance costs have been going up - regardless of what the state of the ACA was. It has been for decades. ACA didn’t suddenly bring out a new higher cost in and of itself.

But if we’re finally talking about high costs for health insurance, it would be nice if the GOP did something to help reduce those costs, instead of fighting a program that expands access to affordable health insurance to those who couldn’t afford it previously.
