It was fine before Obamacare, the democrats f’ed it up. My health insurance before Obamacare was $180 a month and I had better coverage than what I’m paying $853 a month for now.
At least you got to keep your doctor...as promised

You are comparing your health insurance premium almost 20 years ago to today? Wow. The rate of increase before 2010 was already high.
The failure of Obamacare is slapping you in the face and you sit here pretending it isn’t.

Obamacare was supposed to fix it, remember?

It was not “fine” before Obamacare. That’s why the issue had traction.
Insurance premiums for those whose employer didn’t provide healthcare were too often out of reach. Too many people had insufficient insurance, and that had a negative effect on the overall economy.

This is a lie. We had high deductible.catastrophic policies tailored to our needs, which is something we cannot get with the ACA.

Got a better plan? I agree it’s not great at all. What’s stopping the current admin to come up with something?

He’s also pretending you’re getting the same coverage.

So the answer to this illusionary issue was to pass a bill, that was written by the industry it pertained to, that forced all Americans to buy a product from the entities that wrote the bill?
Great job for freedom there buddy. Take that victory lap.

Weasel words. The huge increase in cost to those who work was when Obamacare was implemented. It happened as soon as those of us pulling the cart got burdened with giving virtually free medical insurance to the left's freeloading class.

Within a month of the Sebelius decision, he stopped taking all insurance and went to a subscription based "boutique" practice.
I thought this was illegal. I wondered for a long time why more doctors didn't do this, then with research I found examples of doctors trying it, and it was deemed illegal. If i remember correctly, they were basically told they were running a defacto insurance plan and they couldn't do that. Doesnt make sense to me, but that's what I seem to remember.
Doctors were basically charging a flat monthly rate in order to be his patient. And he'd do anything his practice was capable of doing with no additional charge to the patient. If you needed medicine, or had to be sent to a specialist or something, then you'd use your actual insurance plan.

Very high deductible catastrophic only plans were very cheap even here in high priced NY. After Obamacare, if you had a household income of more than $46k, you could get what used to be a virtually catastrophic care only plan called a Bronze plan for only 4 or 5 times the cost. It did give you one "free" yearly check-up, but that's about the only difference.

Just for reference.
Pre ACA, I had a HDHP with AETNA. My policy premium was only $150/month. Deductible was around 8k if I remember correctly.
Exactly what I needed since I was self employed. This kept me from going bankrupt.

I detest both parties- government is corrupt and morally compromised. It is not for the people.
Never forget that those bastards exempted themselves from the bullshite they forced on the American people.

You can still get this. I have an MDVIP doc that I pay like $2500/year.

Obamacare failure
The ACA was written by lawmakers who do not know the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes or the difference the gallbladder and urinary bladder. Since they did not know this they got "help" from lobbyists and "experts" on public health who were being paid by insurance companies. They wrote a bill which would make it easier for health insurance companies to make big $$$. So Obamacare is not failing. The ACA is doing exactly what it was designed to do. The only thing that is failing is the myth that the ACA was designed to make care affordable.
