That was the entire premise of it when it was being rolled out.

Remember? Health care costs were the major thing that was draining the economy supposedly. And this was going to stop that and REVERSE it and make the average families insurance bill go DOWN $2,500

And I've never seen the costs go up so dramatically as they have now.
This is the fatal flaw in Obamacare. It was sold as way to help reign in costs yet it does nothing to do that. There is a big story in time about Obamacare and how it actually doesn't address costs at all. So really it is just an insurance plan, not a healthcare plan of any real kind.

Costs will keep going up unchecked and since there will be fewer people uninsured (in theory) those costs will then be passed on to the insurance companies which will then just keep raising rates.
