There's a huge difference between $100->$200 and $500->$1,000. People's earnings make it that there's a threshold that gets crossed where insurance becomes unaffordable. It's debatable if that happened before or after the ACA but the raw amount changed post-ACA is much larger than prior periods. People aren't measuring this by rate of change, their measuring it with their bank account. > If I walk to work, then start driving a car, and then replace that for a truck, I don't say that "gas costs are spiraling out of control." You're conflating two things and think you made a slam dunk case. You didn't. It's embarrassing. The correct analogy is that you live a block from work so you walk. Then one day the government introduces legislation that makes driving a car mandatory, so you have to buy one to drive the block to work. Your commute costs are definitely spiraling out of control at that point. > You're conflating two things and think you made a slam dunk case. You didn't. It's embarrassing. If you have a point to make, make it. You don't need to attack me as well.
