Whither Obamacare?

My biweekly premium went up from $99.42 to $105.39.  Thanks Obama! 

Isolated stats... you should know better

What was the rise of health care insurance costs for the last 25 years?  Has it accelerated under Obama or has it slowed a little?

This web page http://www.healthsystemtracker.org/interactive/health-spending-explorer/?display=Annual%2520%2525%2520Change%2520-%2520Inflation%2520Adjusted&service=All%2520Types%2520of%2520Services should answer a lot of your questions.

Bottom line of that data is that health care grew fastest under Bushcare (actually, Shrubcare) and slowed a bit in the first years of ACA, but that costs were rising pretty rapidly in 2015, and 2016 data isn't yet available (and might exceed Shrubcare).

great link, thank you very much!

Sounds like a recipe for lots of divorces.  I suppose some people like high divorce rates, though.

obamacare ended up being worthless, so couples were brought together in matrimony anyway

Not even Obamacare could fix stupid.

It seems like Trumpcare is proving to be even worse than Obamacare, though; more expensive, and fewer benefits.  MAGA!

Any suggestions for which of my own words I should insert here to make it mean what you really mean?

$180/month and $7000 deductible

there's a tool you can use to check whether your medications are covered. so you put in a bunch of medications, and the plan flashes and says covered. but wait! a few of your medications won't be covered until you pay your deductible, and nowhere does it say that. when you discover this and ofc attempt to change plans, they try to tell you, nope--you can't change your plan until the next election period, ten months from now! so you say fuck you I'm getting married

You don't mean it's worthless, I ask you for clarification, you choose to double down on the original wording.  You're intellectually bankrupt.  I was the last poster here making any effort to respond, but I have to agree that everyone else is right.  Either you're a troll or you're a retard.
