> it made it far, far more expensive. isn't that the point of insuring uninsured people and ending preexisting condition coverage. if the agreement is "hey we need to cover riskier people because its the right human thing to do" costs are going to go up. thats the trade off. in this case, you being angry that costs went up shouldnt be directed towards government inefficiency. costs ballooned because coverage expanded (and age banding aka community rating, which is similar, agreeing to cap elderly costs and having young people pay. and everyone under 26 being a child, consuming but not paying in.) anyone paying attention going into the aca, knew that costs would go up for healthy people over 26 but not yet retired. (democrats did do _a bit_ of lying about costs going down for everyone and being able to keep existing plans, to get it passed, a fib they admit.) if you are a part of that range, and you voted for the law knowing all this, you were either being compassionate, or hedging that someday you might fall into an uninsured condition situation, or both.
