Health care. I have a buddy. He paid $178 per month for insurance. He bitched about Obama care making it go to $195. I told him to go get me a statement from January for the past four years. He came back and they said;
$142
$164
$178
$195
So his health care was increasing before obama care and always has been. It's called inflation.

Your comment has absolutely nothing to do with Obamacare.
Health care has always increased over time, even before Obamacare = True.
However, your friend was already on a plan, so he was experiencing business as usual.
For the uninsured things are a completely different story. Uninsured doesn't mean homeless or an alcoholic or drug addict. Those terms are just uncalled for in this debate.
Monthly health care costs tripled and quadrupled practically over night for the uninsured looking to purchase. You also never mentioned anything about out of pocket expenses. You can see a doctor for around $70 a visit uninsured. What good is paying $300 a month and having to pay a $50 to $60 copay?
Lets talk about deductibles. $300 to $6500 practically overnight? That's not inflation.
