Ok, which one of us is Corporate666?
Ya know, 8 years ago we (conservatives) told the liberals jugearscare would never work because costs would rise out of reach and the deductibles would be through the roof.
Why? Because with no requirement to sign up until you get sick meant no one would sign up for it unless they were sick. Who gets sick the most? Older people, like what I am. They are also the ones most likely to receive subsidies from those who aren't signed up and have to pay their "Shared Responsibility Payment" (the fine).
We were poo-poo'd because, liberals said, the young that sign up (but in reality aren't) would cover the cost for seniors. We were called racists and worse. Today, those same liberals that mocked us are now complaining their premiums are too expensive and the deductibles can't be paid. They've come to the realization, the same one WE came to 8 years ago, that jugearscare just isn't working.
NOW, the liberals are being told what WILL happen with single-payer and again they're poo-pooing the naysayers, because, I guess, THIS TIME it'll be done right. The first ones to complain they can't get a dr. appointment (because people will leave the profession or won't go into it because of low wages), will be the DUmmies.
They expect the quality of care will remain the same, which it won't.
Liberals disgust me.
