In my case, the first year of the ACA, my premiums went up more than 80% from $1100 per month to $1980 per month. That $880 difference was stolen from me to pay for some lazy couch potato’s insurance. The following year, my premiums increased again.I was paying over $25,000 per year for health insurance! Making me pay for someone else’s insurance in addition to my own is not only unfair to me, but UNSUSTAINABLE. Thankfully, in year two of Obamacare, I turned 65 and went on Medicare—something for which I had been paying in for decades--or I'd be bankrupt by now.
There is no such thing as government cost-sharing. There is only robbing from some folks to cover the expenses of others unwilling or unable to pay their own way. It’s about time the people rose up and demanded fairness.
