This is such an important point. There's been ~40% of cumulative inflation over that period.
Also, anyone who was already buying insurance for years before the ACA knew the price has always gone up every year, often by double-digit percentages. Simple compounding plus the fact that insurance is always more expensive for people 18 years older are confusing a lot of people in this discussion.
- jtbayly 2mo agoYou act like I’m an idiot. It was cancelled immediately when ACA was passed, and I couldn’t afford the new plans the same year. My point about the current plans is that if you want to call them a “scam” because they are high deductible, you have to call almost all current plans scams.
