We still have almost no ability to bargain with pharma and medical related bankruptcies are still hurting both people and hospitals. I think single payer is the way of the future.

@lov2smile: Who did you study the Constitution under? Sarah Palin?

There was no such thing as health insurance, when the Constitution was written. "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness". Does that ring a bell? How is Life and the Pursuit of Happiness, are to be guaranteed, if some are healthy and some are not?

@Northwest:

Your liberal interpretation of the constitution is the reason we need Supreme Court judges on the bench that rule, based on what the constitution means, NOT your or their opinion of it.

@lov2smile: you're the one who brought up the Constitution. Specifically, you wanted to know, specifically where in the Constituition does it say that healthcare is a basic right.

I'm guessing you were parroting some right wing site. If you didn't understand my response, you should read it again.

I'd consider a couple of things. The first is which states are seeing an increases and WHY.

I'd also pay close attention to the last paragraph while also considering that the vast majority of people didn't buy their insurance through the exchange.

If premiums are going up there's two entities to blame. The insurance companies, obviously, and the states that are actively working to eliminate the ACA irrespective of how it hurts their citizens.

This is not an indictment of Obamacare, but it is an indictment of the states where the increases will take place. In California, with a Democratic Governor, Senate and House, and better regulation of the insurance industry, rates will go up 5%.

Initially, the intent was to have a single payer system. This will be the goal of the Hillary administration.

America was sold a bill of goods on Obamacare
