Sharp Rise in U.S. Health Insurance Cost, Study Finds

Well, duh!
If you increase the giveaways to the poorest of the poor, who sometimes get lucky and hit the jackpot with all expenses covered; if your plan does nothing to address the "invisible" immigrants that nobody wants to see, but naturally, we must continue treating them at ERs and for childbirth expenses; if your plan doesn't address one iota the skyrocketing costs of medical care (nor the need for tremendous treatment to protect doctor's from outrageous medical tort suits) ... what do you expect?

Those who do pay, will be asked to pay more, more, more, with little "more" received in return.

Just imagine what they'll be paying in premiums, if the rug is pulled out from under the mandate -- legally, by the Court -- and all those non-consuming, non-insured customers aren't forced to pay premiums to help share the costs of medical services they don't consume...

Then, with no repeal of the entitlements already in place, can you imagine how quickly the premiums for families and those who pay-as-they-go will skyrocket?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, they tell me...
