Some experts say that, with fewer private insurers and rising rates, we're going to regret not having a public option as part of the mix.

The plan all along.

I love those that think, somehow, obolacare can just be repealed and we will go back to normal overnight. That’s not gonna happen.

Ironically, Obamacare had anticipated the negative effects of runaway capitalism with a safeguard that critics branded as socialism — the so-called public option, a government-run insurance plan offered alongside private plans.

The traditional safeguard is to disallow these mergers.

Must be nice for the “free market” insurance corporations to have government mandated customers.

COMMERCE BETWEEN MASTER AND SLAVE IS __________?

Why would prices go down? It was fixed from the start - maternity coverage for every plan, mandated equal rates for both sexes, a boggling list of requirements that plans must follow including expensive freebies - oh, and non-dischargeable debt, a boon for collection agencies. Naturally, the next demand will be a bigger subsidy, after all, people can't afford these incredibly high costs, and need to upgrade to better plans, and the government should pay more of the bill..

The freebie train has left the station, and there's nothing to stop it from reaching the end. Mandated coverage, required purchase, a huge burden on business, and an even bigger burden on the people since not only do they have to pay for their coverage, and the coverage of the 'poor', but they also get to pay for the government's employees getting coverage as well (for the rest of their lives.)

Why is the Fed so proactive right now? Because we really are that close to the bleeding edge of national bankruptcy. Oh, look, the teachers are demanding another raise with fewer students in the system.

The Republic is currently in a no win situation we the people are long overdue in performing our constitutional mandate to DEPOSE this current tyrannical communist gov’t.

I want to believe that we can in 2016 place a conservative in leadership but twenty months is a long way off and the prospects are increasingly dim, the communist uniparty is in control and they are not willingly going to relinquish power they have so aggressively lied cheated and stolen to gain, especially to a electoral process that has been severely corrupted and can be so easily manipulated.
