YOu know guys think about this a little bit. The part of the GDP that goes for medical care is not going to double or triple. It may move up a couple of percent but it is actually not capable of doing anything more than that. There is no way to double the number of Doctors or Hospitals or prescription drugs. The worse case is what you have this year plus a small increment.

So unless someone knows some noew clever approach the overall cost of medicine cannot change more than a few percent over a year.

So how can payments double? Where is the money going? The insurance companies have to pay out at lest 80% of what they take in. So they can't take it.

So all the Doctors are going to double or triple their fees? All the hospitals?

Not rational...

We have seen our Medicare prescription numbers. Down a little from last year.

So where is this increase going?

Or could it be we are picking up the cases where the quack policies got converted to real?

Businesses have never had to cover their people.

I guess you are responding to me ... Must be he hockey sticks for you posting on a site where the Mods don't delete all posts that don't agree with your opinion.

Lets see some links to UNBIASED sites ....

I am really getting tired of the "OH my premium went up X% all because of "Obamacare"", well Health Insurance Premiums have been going up an average of 10-15% every year since, well, FOREVER.


Oh and all our Health information will be "public" line ... post a few sources of this "fact'.

I hope for the Democrats sake that there are enough folks with pre-existing conditions / under the poverty level to get out and vote for them in 2014 and 2016... otherwise it's gonna be ugly.
