Health Insurance changes: Will get worse....

Compared to most of the planet, you have been quite fortunate too...:mixedsmi:

Perhaps, but comparing us to other nations is not the issue. The issue is the drastic overhaul of a healthcare system that (although in need of improvements for certain) did NOT require impacting the entirety of the U.S. populace. There is a segment of our population that needed coverage, but even though the healthcare system wasn't perfect - it was NOT broken. The economic impact of all these changes (the totality of which - now becoming apparent) is horrific. At a time when our economy was already fragile, this promises to push us over the edge.

And, as I had originally posted, I thought this was supposed to REDUCE our costs?

Not a good situation for this country. NC

And unfortunately, it now appears by the governments own estimates, there will still be something like 30 million people not covered even under the new program; not really a dramatic increase in overall coverage.
