The bottom line is that Obamacare cost increases have been astronomical and underreported. Those increases have been mitigated by subsidies, but at great expense (also underreported). Finally, Obamacare’s complexity was unnecessary as 60% of the increase in the number of people covered was due to Medicaid expansion, which could have been accomplished without Obamacare.That Obamacare could pass and be touted as a success because some people now have coverage is appalling. At what cost? A 172% increase in cost, when healthcare costs in the rest of the market increased just 24% (based on medical CPI)?How could Obamacare have been passed given these cost increases? This quote suggests an answer: “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage, and basically call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.” – Jonathan Gruber, ACA architect, 2013
It’s not the stupidity of the voters, it’s the corruption of the politician’s. If it was such a good idea they wouldn’t have delayed it’s implementation till after the elections.
