Are higher prices for healthcare insurance a good thing?

[pjohns]

The latest argument being rolled out by the supporters of ObamaCare is that, yes, it will doubtless increase premiums for many--even drastically so--but that this is really a good thing.

From Forbes magazine:

Well, it’s been an interesting week in health care land. For a while now, independent analysts—and conservative critics—have raised concerns that Obamacare will dramatically increase the cost of individually-purchased health insurance for healthier people. This would, of course, contradict President Obama’s promises that “if you like your plan, you can keep it” and that the cost of insurance would go down “by $2,500 per family per year.” What’s new is that liberal columnists, facing reality, are conceding that premiums will go up for most people in the individual market. But they’re justifying it by saying that “rate shock” will help a tiny minority of people who can’t get insurance today. If they had said that in 2009, would Obamacare have passed?

The latest argument being rolled out by the supporters of ObamaCare is that, yes, it will doubtless increase premiums for many--even drastically so--but that this is really a good thing.

Seems that the whole premise for Obamacare was that health costs were too high.

Now that costs are going higher, these bald-faced liars will say anything rather than admit they are fools.

But not as big as the fools that believe them no matter what they say...
