Obamacare ‘Unsustainable’ Insurers Warn, Premiums to Keep Rising
Conservative Review ^ | 04/15/16 | CR Wire/Chris Pandolfo

Obamacare's financial stability remains in question as insurance companies warn that the health exchange marketplaces are on the verge of collapse.

A shortage of healthy young people signing up for Obamacare in the marketplaces is driving the cost of subsidizing sicker people through the roof for insurance companies, The Hill reports. Insurers are losing money, and some are suggesting that they will cut their losses and pull out of the marketplace altogether.

Yup. Totally planned this way. Insurers ribed big time to go along with it. Congress pukes bribed to go along with it. Mary landrieu the 300 million dollar whore.

It is the other way around; more people have health INSURANCE, but it is so bad they can’t afford the HEALTH CARE it provides.

One basic flaw of these re-distribution schemes is the assumption that there would be at least a steady (if not growing) pool of white people to pay for it; this simply isn’t true anymore. Less and less of the “young people” required as donors to ObamaCare are white “makers”; instead, they have been replaced by a generation of “takers” (many from lineages that have never paid taxes for several generations).

i think what you say is true; however, i also believe this is the insurance industry going back in for another handout to keep their profit margins higher, expecting that Obama won’t let them down because he wouldn’t want one of his signature accomplishments to suddenly look worse than it actually is. does anyone wonder why healthier young people aren’t signing up? many cannot afford the current premiums [much less proposed higher ones] on their meager salaries, and when you factor in the outrageous deductibles, it’s cheaper to opt out, except if something catastrophic health wise were to occur.

Nonsense! All you have to do is screw over the taxpayers some more, and it will become solvent!

“What Obama wants is a single payer system with the federal government dictating who will get what treatment and when. In other words socialized medicine.”

What Obama wants is all the money for medical plans to flow thru the government so he can get his hands on it to buy votes and “redistribute it all.” Remember back to when Social Security funds were “borrowed.”

In December of 2013 our Monthly Premium for Health Insurance was $1200. That includes Dental and Vision.

In January 2016 our Monthly Premium for Health Insurance is $1900.

Obamacare, it’s working like a charm.

oo bad my IRA can’t keep up with it.

ObamaCare was never meant to be sustainable, the point was to pave the way for Single-Payer.

Correct!

Rumors are that Roman Emperor Nero intentionally burned Rome to the ground so he could rebuild it in his image.

Barak Obama is a modern day Nero who wishes to accomplish his goal of fundamentally changing America

In order to fundamentally change his America That Could Be , Obama must tear down and destroy the America that already is.

In order to achieve fundamental change , Obama, the quintessential anti - American, is intentionally fundamentally destroying every thing American that came before him so, like Nero, he can rebuild America in his image.

ObamaCare is President Obama’s wreaking ball that he is using to fundamentally destroy the best health care system the world has ever known he he can rebuild it into something much different .

We will see what the Obamaistas have in mind after they have finished destroying our existing system and it collapses

The most ironic consequence of the Obama engineered collapse of our health care system will be the parallel implosion of the European style "Model Socialist Medical Systems" in Canada, Great Britain and the EU that our political morons touted as the models for their American socialized medical system because, like the NATO alliance on the Military Side, the moribund Canada, Great Britain and the EU socialized heath care systems could only survive because they had the huge American health care system to back them up and make the investments in new medicines and medical technology their systems could not afford to pay for.

And , more importantly, the the free market American health care system, with it's ability to provide immediate access to sophisticated and effective medical care without long waiting lists or rationed health care, has served as a safety valve and safe haven for the where desperate Canada, Great Britain and the EU patients denied care by the Socialist system's death panels or who had been placed on years long waiting lists (de facto death panels for people with time critical, life threatening medical problems like cancer) could go when needing care that their Socialistic care could not or would not provide.
