In 2012 Obama promised premiums would go down, my main point was that health insurance is theoretically no longer tied to employment. (note: I am aware that in practice it is not so simple as Obamacare plans are a small fortune)
- lotsofpulp 6y agoACA would have caused insurance prices to rise no matter what since healthcare spending would have risen since more people are getting healthcare since the law required insurers to cover everyone. People that complain about ACA increasing prices are complaining about having to pay more since more people are getting healthcare. ACA also requires younger people to pay disproportionately more than older people. Health insurance premiums did go down from infinity to somewhere between $400 per month and $1,200 per month for people who previously couldn’t buy it.
