You have already made up your mind.
No, I haven't, which is why I was asking for evidence. However, even if we entertained this lame excuse of yours, it wouldn't change the fact that it's still your burden of proof to substantiate what you alleged (regardless of how "made up" my mind may be), or the fact that there are other people reading this.
Can you substantiate your claim with evidence or not?
Even the articles you linked said "coverage will get more expensive it almost always does". Nice qualifier "almost always", which will allow you to write off anything said to the contrary.
What you call a qualifier is a historical fact. Health-care costs have been increasing for years. Like it or not, the existence of that trend means that we would have expected increased in costs with or without the ACA.
I don't need a study done to see that my Premium and copay went up, while coverage dropped. I don't qualify for any government assistance, and I am not rich.
No, you need a study (or something like it) to argue that your case is indicative of others to such an extent that the ACA has resulted in a net increase in costs.
If we based ourselves on anecdotes, there would be nothing stopping us from concluding the opposite as others here have said their costs have gone down...
Explain to me how poor people will afford a $5000 deductible, when they can't afford a $3000 premium.
Why do I need to explain that? How is that the fault of the ACA?
Premiums went up to help cover all the additional free coverage benefits. While nothing has been done to curb the ever increasing cost of actual care..
You have posted no evidence showing that's the case, while I have posted evidence showing that premiums have remained within the trend or lowered slightly.
ACA did make it free to get diagnosed. But people still can't affoard the procedures. So while Obama and the Democrats may claim it to be a success. I just see more people knowing what is wrong, and still not being able to affoard the treatment.
Yeah, that's just not true. You're just making things up...
