Most health insurance make you pay a certain percent after your deductible. https://www.bluecrossmn.com/healthy/public/personal/home/shopplans/shop-individual-family-plans/shop-how-health-ins-works Tell me what insurance plan you have exactly and what state you live in please. Second off a simple google search will tell you health care went up drastically for most Americans. So even if your story is true, it doesn't apply to most Americans like the woman at the Hillary rally. Like my sister who recently had a baby. She had to pay around 6k because of Obama Care. The nurse who is a family member said before it would only cost around 2.5k with her insurance. It basically screws the people who already had insurance and making them pay more. Third, Obama Care has made premiums go up in price faster than anything in the past such as inflation. So when the insurance companies weren't under the influence of Obama Care the price was going up moderately usually to keep up with inflation. |
I do not pay a deductable. I pay full price for everything and when I reach my max from their on for that year, I am covered 100%. You are talking about a shop at home plan, I am talking about my HCA account and employer plan which is not the same thing.
Currently you blame Obama care but what you should do is blame Republicans. The original ACA was way more ambitious and had a public option. Also the cost would have been lowered even more but you know how such things goes when you have the do nothing Congress making it happen.

Understanding how ACA works and why its not working now will probably change now that the mandate penatly is in effect. Basically if not for Republicans sabotage of the real ACA we probably would not even have this talk.
