Let’s say for sake of argument it’s true.
The impact is within Kentucky. In terms of insurance plans and rates. Not nationwide. Second, as they are reflected within Kentucky, rates paid by these people are adjusted accordingly. Third plans already factor in individual high risk factors and make people pay for them, and we hear from these very same folks in other stories that sometimes these pre-existing conditions aren’t even covered so those costs are not being covered by others paying insurance.
Liberals never look at the prices charged when they like who’s doing the charging.
education is so high. Medical care is so high. In these cases they love the businesses and demonize the consumers. Never the liberal universities, never the medical institutions who practically double the prices when someone has insurance versus paying the whole thing out of pocket, or double bill for something or pad the bill with procedures you didn’t have.
Rising costs are also caused by policies internal to Kentucky.
Another reason allowing people to purchase policies across state lines and breaking up these monopolies is a good idea...the “exchanges” only make this problem much worse as they are also trapped within states.
