In what world are sky-rocketing premiums considered a SUCCESS???

And decreasing coverage. I buy health insurance, as mandated, yet when I get my prescriptions, I pay cash because they are not covered. When I go to the doctor, I get a bill a month later because the visit isn't covered.

But a rapidly increasing number of residents pay nothing, not even premiums, because the state covers it all for them. They are "low income", so it's said.

We’ve always had to buy our own insurance, too. We figured up awhile back that we’ve paid $100k in premiums and they’ve paid out $75. It makes a huge difference when you know you’ll end up paying for everything.

Meanwhile, my welfare-funded niece hauls her kid to the doctor every time he sniffles.
