Instead of worrying about paying for such high costs, I'd rather look for ways to reduce costs.
We don't seem to be making much headway on that. It's getting worse.
You're right.
Because those we elect only want to find ways to pay for the high costs instead of just lowering costs.
If you are an employer, what does the ACA have to do with your medical plan?
arge employers will see a 4.3 percent increase in health benefit costs next year after they make planned changes such as raising deductibles or switching carriers, according to early responses from HR consultancy Mercer's 2017 National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans.
I don't understand why anyone would be giving you "vitriol and condescension" for pointing out the problems with inflation and stagnant wages
Are you for real? The ACA drove costs up for EVERYONE!

Because they're bad people? Or very ignorant. Our economy is corrupt, predatory, unsustainable and immoral. Socialism is the best option at this point, though it could easily go too far the other way of course. The democratic socialist movement is going to keep growing as the economy keeps bankrupting people.

LOL! The Democratic Socialist Movement is the fastest leap to bankruptcy that there is!

As a bookkeeper, I'm quite aware that the costs of group health care plans have risen. As they did before the ACA came into effect.
As an employee, I'm quite aware that the deductibles of group health care plans have not risen since the ACA came into effect.
