More Obamacare fuckups

[Buckwheet]

That's a pretty big chunk of change.



The only person who can answer this question to 100% certainty is your health care provider(s). You're just guessing it went down because of the uninsured yourself.



You can be pissed all you want that you paid so much into the system. I just think you're off base blaming those without insurance as if it was their fault.

Blaming the uninsured is an easy target to get people riled up. "Hey look! THAT person is the reason your bills are so high!" Does anyone have any sort of stats to show just how much money the uninsured cost the system? Who felt the pain from the uninsured? I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts the hospitals/doctors felt the brunt of it, not insurance companies. Any sort of stats to show how much money insured people who didn't pay their bills cost the system? While we're at it any stats on the number of uninsured who DID pay their bills compared to the number of insured who DIDN'T pay their bills?

It all sort of sounds like a witch hunt. "Someone walks into the ER with no insurance and the hospital HAS to treat them." Yes, this is fact. Who is this supposed "someone." I always worry when people speak vaguely.

You already stated that hospitals made profits and insurance companies made profits, so who upheld the brunt of it? Policy owners like me. Its how the system works. I don't see hospitals and insurance companies going broke. So if I am off base, thats fine. But nobody in this thread has shown with any certainty where the money was going. So we are all wrong.

As far as a chunk of change. The savings I have in just 2.5 months of ACA will pay for the difference. After that it is all gravy.
