Well, that seems to be the problem with a lot of the policies of this administration (other administrations, as well.)  They say they are doing this or that for the poorest of citizens, but in the end it barely helps them, and instead hurts the middle class.  Same goes for the large hike in minimum wage to ~$10 they want, as well.  Sure, the minimum wage going up seems great for those just starting, or those poor people who make only a little above minimum wage.  But, what happens is the cost of doing business goes up, so businesses have to raise prices on everything.  Eventually, the poor people realize they are barely able to afford more than what they previously did.  So, again, it hurts the middle class who are 100% not getting the same ~$3 raise the minimum wage folks got, so they can actually afford less.

So glad I live in Europe, here everyone is taken care of, for stiches I think that 10 bucks would be on the expensive side, 4 years ago I had knee surgery, I paid 80€ & most of that was the food! Same for education, 1 year in college is about 300/400€ depending on the cursus & the college. I really am not a fan of the American way: the land of oportunity as long as you are rich & healthy, the social ladder is missing a few steps over there...

Unfortunatley what you stated simply isnt true, but it sells the law.  Preventative care has been shown not to reduce health care costs but actually increase them because as with all top down operations everybody gets screened for everything and the preventative measures just end up costing more money than if you just went to the doctor for the serious illness, thats why all the big medical companies and insurance providers love prevantative care, they can charge you more co-pays and doctors can charge outrageous prices for literally nothing, its a win, win for healthcare, unless of course you are the consumer.

europe is running away from national healthcare as they realize they cant afford it, but thats the great part of socialized anything it always takes several generations to run out of other peoples money so eventually everyobe forgets where the problem started.

Like it or not the solution is less government intervention and greater interaction between doctor and patient...the trend has already begun with doctors walking away from socialized schemes to create their own group plans.  Dont be surprised to see the government try and outlaw this practice in the next few years in the name of equality.

It's taken care of because you're paying for it in another way.  >_>

As someone who does not believe in Obama-care for either economic or moral reasons I want as many people as possible to sign up for it so when the problems begin to mount up people will start to look at government as not a solver of problems but the largest cause of problems in modern society today. Slightly beating even the problems caused by religion.

The government has never once paid for a single thing during its entire existence as it gains revenue through force for the tax slave population.

But the governments theft is no longer enough to pay for its spending so now it has resorted to building up massive debt the our generations children will likely have to pay off.

However they future generations will be unable to pay the taxes that are required to pay the debt and America (and likely other European nations) will default and the economy which has needed a proper recession for decades will go into a real depression.

In other words if you are hoping the government will be around to pay your healthcare when you turn 65 you are likely in my opinion to be dissapointed.

Correct, everybody contributes over here.

American Poverty = Living in better conditions than most of the world with an opportunity to get out of poverty

I dunno really much about this whole thing, but I feel like the free market will take care of this price increase.
If I were an insurer, I'd just keep the same rates and eat all the other insurer's dropouts.

I really don't understand why they are going up in premiums.

Because the number of things the insurance companies are required to provide coverage for has increased taking away the choice for policy holders.

I don't support people being required to pay for any type of coverage but some of the things they are required to cover are completely absurd.
