You give me whatever context you want. The rates will increase at a faster rate because of this law than they did before it. That's likely the only meaningful short-term metric we'll have. Longer term, you're betting on the federal government controlling costs? I should and wish I did have the option not to, because that's a sucker's bet.

At least you're up front about your selfism.
In the long run, would that be a bad thing? If that really did happen it would eventually break the current system. More and more people would see how horrible the system is. More and more would know that hospitals set prices like the mad hatter and medicare/medicade/aca pull payment prices out their asses and otherwise scam care givers. And if the middle class and middle aged see it and feel it and not just the elderly and poor, maybe something will get done.
oh. Right. Youll be put out while it breaks and something better is put in its place.

I'm generally not a fan of "heightening the contradictions", so I don't want people to suffer short-to-medium term in the hopes that a good system emerges from the rubble. That said, it is true that the existing health insurance system has given middle class white people (the people who vote, in other words) a fairly decent and predictable system while everything collapsed around them.

Working age adults should be expected to take care of themselves. I support government sponsored health insurance as part of a comprehensive and very temporary unemployment solution run by each state, and that's it.

Health should not be a for profit industry
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
i drink it up!
They were also apparently paying 63% more than a comparable plan elsewhere. These people are have bolts for brains.
Everything is a for profit industry, including and arguably especially the federal government.
That is not remotely true.

Fuck them if they don't take care of themselves, I shouldn't have to pay for their poor choices.
