@TheCobbler,
At first, the insurance companies LOVED the ACA because it was supposed to force people into buying their product. They soon realized that this was yet another liberal plan that wasn't shovel ready, so they began to bail out of the ACA.

@Frugal1,
There are no simple solutions for universal health care. The ACA was a good beginning, but it needs to be tweaked to improve efficiency and cost.
Who ever designed ACA failed to understand the impact from the young not purchasing health insurance. Maybe, a form of taxation and co-pay was a better option.

@cicerone imposter,
There is a simple solution - repeal the ACA 100%, and let the free market private sector sort things out with minimal government involvement.

Insurance should be a government service not a for profit business. Get the wolves and leaches out of our healthcare!

Agreed!
Some of the premium increases were due to not being allowed to refuse to cover those with pre-existing conditions. Some were due to covering the "costs" of converting to all the new rules. Some were to keep the giant salaries and bonuses rolling in.

@InfraBlue,
If you are unable to figure it on your own, there is no hope for you.

It's a nightmare scenario for ALL Americans.

@Frugal1,
You know Frug, we already have health insurance as an entitlement for a segment of the population. Why not simplify it and put us all on an equal footing? I don't think the populations of nations with universal healthcare are complaining about having secure and guaranteed access to health care.

@TomTomBinks,
And more importantly, they're not bankrupted, and have to live on the streets. We already have enough homeless problems.

@cicerone imposter,
0bamacare does nothing to help this nations growing number of 'homeless', it's actually created a new group known as 'about to be homeless'.

@TheCobbler,
That's a feeble attempt at defending 0bama's affordable healthcare act, the one that was shoved down America's throat. Liberal progressive democrats hate hearing this, but American citizens want to make their own decisions & choices - we really like to shop & compare.

Healthcare is an individual choice, and there should be multiple levels of coverage for every income level. Free market competition that crosses state lines will level the playing field, and it will give individuals the ultimate choice.

Set the minimum coverage requirements for all American citizens with all preexisting conditions waived. Natural attrition will eliminate all preexisting conditions rather quickly. Make it like buying a vehicle, and make it easy for we the people to buy what we can afford to pay for, but does not force the individual to buy coverage they don't need, or want.

Free market competition with universal guidelines is the ONLY solution.

Oh, and make it illegal for employers to offer coverage. Businesses should be encouraged to provide a minimum level of onsite care instead of providing insurance. This on site suggestion could easily become a niche business that creates jobs that increase tax revenues...

Liberal progressive democrats knew what was in it before they passed it, and they knew it would fail. Kill 0bamacare, and let the free market sort it out.
