The biggest problem with all of the health plans is that so many people think that the President has any say whatsoever in its creation...Obama didn't, Trump won't.
Congress writes these laws...although they may take suggestions, but I guarantee you that whatever the pharm and health companies write for congress, they will pass it. If you think that the interests will be slanted towards the citizens...you are sadly mistaken.
The health companies make way too much money to ever allow a president to have his say in their profits.

Robbie - the reason your costs went up so much had nothing to do with ACA...it's simply a response from the health insurers using ACA as an excuse to raise your rates...I would be willing to bet that between tax reforms and the "new" health care changes, that your rates will go up again.

My opinion is (if it really matters) that if you are going to charge for health care then has to be a completely free and open market...prices would be driven by demand instead of whatever the insurers want to make a profit on. And would allow employers to get out of the business completely

Otherwise the only other option is a complete government owned program, however based on past history this wouldn't work out too well
