Beginning of the End for Obamacare?
Doubt it.
Not after you get republicans and people like Trump saying "repeal
and replace it.
It's simply going to become a Dr. Manhattan, a common enemy, for the two party system to fight over on how to "fix" it.
Health plan companies left and right are seriously questioning their involvement in Obamacare or dropping out altogether.
I think the main 2 reasons for this are:
- More sick than healthy people are using it. More people are paying for it and using it than paying for it and not using it, the latter of which is the only way any type of insurance works.
- The government is being tightfisted with its subsidizing, not giving the insurance companies the money they promised in case of lack of profit.
I mean "more sick than healthy people are using it" simply = "we can't repeal Obamacare! Too many poor defenseless sick people will be without their meds and have to make the choice between eating dog food or medicine before being shoved off the cliff by those pesky healthy people not paying in!"
So I would expect to see more money funneled to insurance companies as well as medicare/medicaid soon, like right before or right after the election.
