Obamacare was a cheap quick Band-Aid to a horrible, horrible problem, and now things are going to be significantly worse.
I agree with you 100%. A publicly traded company has one goal: make investors money. In the health chain, there is a whole pyramid of publicly trading companies from the bottom to the top. Each wanting their piece of the pie.
I'm currently in the process of outright buying a piece of medical equipment that costs around $4,500. My doctor writes out a prescription that he sends straight to a medical supply company (publicly traded.) Medical supply company then deals with my insurance company (publicly traded) and charges them $750 a month (or so they claim) for that same exact piece of equipment.
That piece of medical equipment will last me 5 years minimum. So we are looking at $750 a month, for 5 years, that's close to $40,000 for what I can buy outright at $4500.
Yes, insurance companies suck. So does the whole chain of sycophants.

The reason your insurance went up is because you live in Texas.. Texas is Republican run state who are trying to make Obamacare fail. Your story is the same in every Red state which failed to properly adopt Obamacare and the medicare mandate. By doing this your govt officials created a situation where your costs will increase each year which was their plan in the 1st place..
Obamacare doesn't work for you, because your state sucks and your state lawmakers suck even more.. My state also sucks being another Right wing hell hold.. Your experience with Obamacare is bad, because that's what your state representatives wanted for you. They wanted you to hate it..,
Obamacare was never perfect but it could have been made very good. If Republicans spent half the time trying to help Democrats fix Obamacare instead of fighting it. We would of had a very good healthcare system. Instead Republicans choose obstruction and destruction of our country..
Congrats.. today's shooting is likely the start of many more. When will you guys learn that the people you support are creating policies which harm you and destroy people's lives? You think people will go on being silent when they feel their vote no longer matters or they are powerless to do anything.. This is only the start..
Trump & Republicans have the power to change their ways are start working for the people instead of fucking the people. It's their choice which road we continue to go down..
BTW your state of Texas was one of the states who has illegally gerrymandered voting districts to silence the voice of minority voters..

This is what your Republicans do and you wonder why someone wants to shoot them on a baseball field.. I'm simply amazed it hasn't happened sooner.
