Affordable Care Act to increase healthcare costs more than without it

[brownsugarxxx02]

Even though we already knew this, the new study proves it:

This administration, and all of you who support it, are a fucking joke.

 

[Winkler]

Can't argue with that.

Liberals aren't going to cry if we get to make healthcare a right for all of our citizens even if it does turn out to be true that costs would go from 5.7% to 5.8% over the short-term.

 

[All_Time_Girl]

All of our citizens are covered already

 

[blah><]

Literally, the rate of non-coverage, not-by-choice for white people is like 0.01%

Making sure people can invest in their health before their problems become catastrophic was promised to work magic within one or two years, amirite?!

protip: Some of the biggest ACA provisions don't start until 2014 and 2017, genius.

 

[Laura RMCF]

So when do you project the affordable part to kick in?

 

[Babe!!1♥]

The same study says .... pretty quickly.

[As additional ACA provisions kick in] Correspondingly, out-of-pocket spending is projected to decline by 1.3 percent as the nuraber of people with insurance coverage increases and many services formerly paid for out of pocket are now covered by insurance

sorry karen, that doesn't save money and more time won't change that.

 

[semi_sonic18]

That doesn't make it affordable, that just moves the costs around

Karen, you haven't made a coherent post in quite some time and I think you need a break.

 

[DrewC]

Sooo...is it or isn't it supposed to "work magic" in one or two years?

BTW, out of pocket expenses do not reflect overall healthcare costs.

I cannot find this in the article anywhere.

 

[La Min]

if insurance premiums go up but your out of pocket costs go down by the same amount...it is not more affordable durabass.

 

[Jredcorn77]

Oh.. so you just make up bullshit about premiums going up. That must be fun, durabass.

 

[Th3 3nD...]

many services formerly paid for out of pocket are now covered by insurance

 

[Sydney Nicole]

Size 7 font and your durabass still can't see that says nothing about premiums going up, nor how the only consequence must be premium increases.
