That's the nature of health insurance.
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?
My health insurance cost went down last year. This year I'm going to save between $600-700 per month on health insurance. My savings don't have anything to do with Obamacare just like your increased costs don't, either.
I'm so sick of the propaganda coming from both sides.
