    Show me the number that proves the 30-45% rate increase. I call it a lie.

    Statistics say the rate has slowed to an increase equaling inflation, ~3% for the past year or 2. The slowest in a long time.

    I have nothing to show you. This is the worried report of my friend over lunch who has to explain these increases to his clients.

    Lots of smaller groups are making noise about just dropping health plans, too.

    ...Bernanke's?

    or probably more relevant in the last year or so at least, Draghi's.

    Did you notice the (in some cases) in my post? You deny that there is a cost associated with Obamacare to the insurance company?

    Awesome Giddyup! $100 more dollars to Planned Parenthood in your name! That is over $500 to Planned Parenthood in your name that I have donated that otherwise would have gone in savings.

    Yup. someone finally gets it. There is some insane stat of how 5% of patients account for about 90% of expenditure, old terminally ill patients mostly.

    As a future doctor, Obama care might hurt my salary in the future but basic healthcare coverage is something that every 1st world country needs to provide. It pisses me off that some people will abuse it but the numerous people it will help outweigh that.

    If you want to waste your money, go right ahead! :)

    Maybe you could request that your money be spent on mammograms rather than abortions...

    ” In some cases”?
    That' s what your side use often. Tell half truth. If you want to argue against something, you need to prove that in most cases .. So and so is true.. Otherwise you have not proved anythong. Worse, you mislead people.

    Yes I read. When did I say anything about 30-45%? :confused: Many of the Obamacare provisions that have gone into effect have cost about 1-2% each.

    How is "in some cases" a half truth? It's the truth. Some of the increase in premiums people see is from Obamacare. Some of them aren't. Stating that is actually telling the truth. A half truth would be "premiums have gone up because of Obamacare" or "premiums have gone up despite Obamacare."

    I am amused that you think me posting a article that says something Obama has said is "false" is me "telling a half truth" or "not proving anything" or "misleading people."

    LOL

    You should really learn to read. There are 2 separate arguments there.

    By my calculations, it will cost me $200 per month more.

    But what I'm worried about is that it's going to bankrupt the nation.

    OK. I don't think you are actually attempting to have a discussion so I will discontinue responding to you. Enjoy your time on the BBS
