    You are stating a lot of things as facts that are erroneous. Healthcare premiums increase every year - that has been a trend and the reason ACA was created. Under ACA the rate of premium increases has slowed. This is because with more people covered, health care becomes more efficient as you have less uninsured individuals taxing the health system. What you don't understand is that doctors and hospitals can not deny someone health care if it will result in their immediate death. So uninsured people would cost the most as they would show up to hospitals in critical states - run up massive bills, and never pay. Guess who ended up paying those costs? Us! But with ACA more people could afford to get treatment before they would require an ER visit thus reducing the burden on the system. That will now be gone.

    Sadly you have been roped in by the right wing propaganda on ACA. Many Americans were, until they started realizing how helpful Obamacare was too their lives and actually did control costs. And it was never about subsidizing other people. You make people pay for health insurance because without insurance, they are a risk to putting a strain on others. It's a law that drivers on cars have insurance because it mitigates the financial cost of you getting in an accident. By the same token, mandatory health coverage prevents you from being a drain on the system. The very nature of all insurance is to pool money and use that pool to help the ones who need it currently. Sounds like you are against the concept of insurance.

    As for the other ACA stipulations - they are going no where but ACA will collapse unless people buy insurance in the exchanges. That remains to be sean.

    Also many Red States purposefully sabotaged the ACA by refusing the federal money for medicaid expansion. That's why the ACA is working really well in states that genuinely put in the effort like Massachusetts.
