Lowering the cost of healthcare was the entire reason that they did this in the first place.
The President said that the rising cost of healthcare was one of the main things that was bankrupting the government. I assume he meant because of medicare, etc.
And he said that because the cost of healthcare (caused apparently by the small percentage of people who go to the emergency room and skip out on their bills...lol) was going to go down...that the cost of our health insurance would be lowered by $2,500 per family.
My health insurance as of January is now over $1,000 a month for a family of three healthy people with a $3,000 deductible. That's up almost double for the exact same policy since the President has been in office.
EDIT: Actually it's NOT the same exact policy. In 2009-2011 my oldest daughter was still living at home and was on my insurance policy. So it was FOUR people. Now it's almost double the price and we have one less person on the policy.
