@corbe I don't recall many people bitching about their premiums pre obummercare @Maj. Bill Martin
Actually, a lot of the pre-existing conditions crowd was bitching about it.
Don't you see the cognitive dissonance in this thread? Really, in the forum overall on this issue? You've got one group of people saying that we should have a full repeal, and are upset that more members of Congress won't support it. However, a full repeal which would include getting rid of the pre-existing conditions protections, and that would make premiums increase for people with pre-existing conditions. That's just basic math.
But then you've got
other people complaining about that exact premium increase, and claiming that's not what was supposed to happen.
@Chosen Daughter and
@libertybele,for example. The funny thing is that some in this same group complaining about a potential increase in premiums for pre-existing conditions are
also demanding a complete repeal.
A full repeal, no replace means that premiums for people with pre-existing conditions are going to increase. I'm not advocating one way or the other -- I'm just pointing out the mathematical reality.
