It’s simple. Insurance is a business. Those that sell the insurance are in it to make money. They make that money by collecting premiums from everyone not just from sick people who keep hitting them with large claims. By continuing to regulate the industry the government will only exacerbate the problem further. Every time a new law is passed that reduces possible income or creates a scenario in which huge claims are expected, premiums increase significantly. The cost then gets passed on to the consumer.
Obviously, some regulation is necessary but what Obamacare has done is not only obliterate the free market but put a significant strain on healthcare as we knew it.
To answer some of you previous questions:
Why hasn’t that young man had continuous coverage? Everyone should be covered even the young and healthy. Does nobody believe in being responsible for themselves?
Do you believe that health insurance should be unaffordable for the majority of Americans because some immigrants might not be able to obtain coverage?
