2)You know what makes premiums go up?  Insurance companies that put profit over people.

3)But I guess a new plan that has fewer people getting insurance, loss of jobs AND higher health care cost will be much better because....uh, Obama?

1) Yeah, it FORCED more American's to sign up for medical coverage AND it also FORCED many Americans who already had insurance to pay higher premiums among many other issues, but hey, at least, the cost of health care went UP.

2) This is true, but not all insurance companies do so. I can tell you that the one my company uses is not selfish like that and yet my premiums still went up because of Obamacare. But, I guess it's better to stick your fingers in your ears, wail about selfish insurance companies than actually trying to fix the problems (not that the GOP's most recent plan was any good).

3) While the GOP's most recent plan sucked, there is certainly a myriad of problems with Obamacare that need to be addressed, but I guess it's better to do nothing and let things get worse because ... uh, Trump?
