Think of Obama-Care as the process of buying a used/new car.You are the seller,the interested party likes the car but wont pay the asking price.As the seller,you are now in the negotiating stage,you lower the price another thousand.The buyer still says no. Just like with the monthly fees of Obama-Care. You would assume by now that "The Powers That Be" would be backing into a corner and will have to lower the monthly fees to sell their product.Well, it is called the "Affordable-Care-Act". So lets make it affordable and offer plans between Fifty and One-Hundred Dollars a month. Problem Solved !!!
No offense, but FAIL.
Wow, are you sure you’re on the correct website? Have you taken Econ 101?
I see your post is tagged with Political Humor/Cartoons. So, you must be joking?
It’s hard to add to what the first two posters noted but, in the case of buying an auto and negotiating, Obamacare isn’t negotiable. Having insurance is now the law which kinda defeats your premise that you (the consumer) have any power in this transaction.
The ACA too mandates many non-functional gingerbread items to the basic model, like gynecological and maternity for single men and the nearly retired, psychological care for those with slight risk or likelihood, drug treatment for those who don't use, and much more. When you lard up a "basic" item, you get an unaffordable monstrosity that nobody will appreciate paying for.
well Obama did assure us that he would give us a much better deal than private insurance, right?
Perfect logic, if you’re a third grader or a democrat, but I repeat myself.
Not possible
Many people are driving around in ‘new cars’ without a car payment - you’re paying for those car payments too.
After that the suppliers will pull out totalling and the Feds will have to mandate that they provide service. Take a look at Venezuala to see how that works out.
Quite the opposite.
The "buyers" are being forced, by law, to purchase the product. It's the perfect situation to raise the price of whatever is being sold.
What do you think the automakers would do to prices if a law was passed mandating everyone buy a new car in calendar 2014? Sell Corvettes for $1000?
Try again after you've given this some thought.
Are you going to tell the insurance companies what they have to charge now?
This is in “Breaking News”????
The price is going up because there are people being covered for things that old plans did not cover, this adds to the expense and thus price.
Why not just make it free or all DemocRATS? That would be super cool, right?
ACA is a new welfare program, some will pay extra to pay for those who pay little or nothing. This was the whole point of the thing. It was never about lowering the price of insurance. It is a new welfare program.
ACA does not allow a cheap no-frills insurance plan to exist
Exactly.
Like being forced to buy a loaded F-350 when the consumer can only afford a used Kia.
This is breaking news???
ACA allows for a 3% subsidy as it is
