Problem: Soaring healthcare cost and gouching insurance companies.
Solution 1: Create an act that attempts to fix the problem
Solution 2: Don't have one yet but it sure as s**t isn't going to be solution 1.
Pick your side and go to battle. It's not about the common good, it's about winning. This whole thing is a joke and any hope there was is quickly getting diminished by the botched roll out. Money usually wins and big pharma and insurance companies have plenty so I wouldn't get too worked up if you are cheering for solution 2. You will likely continue paying a ridiculous price for hospital Tylenol and you'll still get to see the insurance companies name on the biggest building in your town.2016 Moomba Mojo

BINGO!
And don't think Corporate America isn't pushing the pencil to see that it may be cheaper to pay the fines than offer group healthcare. The almighty dollar will say eliminate the current "good" plan and by default everybody will roll on the government plan....."my employees still have healthcare"! Too bad you can't find the damn exchange to sign up, when you finally do you find it costs more than what you had, and the services (if you are approved to have them) have diminished substantially.
We have yet to see the wrath of this debacle!!

I guess I'm optimistic that it will all work out for the better. lots of opinions on how it's bad and will cost us all money and a lack of good coverage but in the end, no one knows what will happen with this 5 years down the road. although my guess is that if by some miracle the repub's get back in power, they will find a way to strike it all unconstitutional and it's all water under the bridge(back to the boat thing ).

[QUOTE=sandm;232014]I don't think it'll affect anyone that has insurance. [QUOTE]
I am guessing you have not seen how much your premium will be next year? You like the fact that you are REQUIRED to have maternity coverage?Jeff

There are like 10 basic coverage's in NYS that must be carried on insurance. maternity, eye and dental are three of them.
avg annual health care increase over the last 10 years is close to 13%, cant see this slowing down...
especially with the amount of people signed up. its the same govt pyramid scheme that SS# operates under. need more people at the bottom to pay up to the top. not gonna work.
PS I would like that 242 in all Black with white trim Mr. PresidentA Day at the Lake...Priceless

The Affordable Boat Act
My buddies insurance went up from $150 to $417 (single coverage)...I'm thinking there are a LOT of people affected by this. I know my wife's insurance was completely changed. Good thing we aren't on that anymore. We change to my insurance last year. I guess that's a benefit of working for "big business". Now that we are "fixed" there's no need for maternity coverage and we shouldn't be forced to pay for it. No body should be forced to pay for something they don't want or need just so someone else who does want it can have it. Let them pay the higher price for more coverage....you buy more you pay more...

Can't say if this this is a result of ACA or not - but my annual health care with a furtune 1000 company just went up about $1300 / year.
If you believe something to be true, it will be - in it's consequences.
