The problem is the ACA was sold on the fact that nothing would change for those who already had coverage.

That's been horribly inaccurate.

That's only a problem for people who rely on sound bite reporting -- nm - con_carne Oct 29, 11:25 3
- It's not sound bite reporting. The President reiterated it in his last speech. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 11:26 2
  - Then isn't your problem with the President, not the law? -- nm - con_carne Oct 29, 11:28 1
    - We didn't know what the law would start. So, the only thing really to be done was to trust what the lawmakers said was true. - Inigo Oct 29, 11:33

    - I support the ACA, and I heard it repeatedly. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 11:27 1

I'd tweak that a little. No one said premiums wouldn't change, just that you could keep your plan. - ty97 Oct 29, 11:19 8
- Here's what cracks me up about some of this. My premiums have gone up every year for like 5 years now. - Jim Oct 29, 11:22 7
  - It's the amount of premiums going up, and the percentage they're going up that's the issue. - Inigo Oct 29, 11:36 2
    - Mine went up ludicrously for a few years in a row a few years ago, then not at all for the past two years and minimally this year. - Kim Pine Oct 29, 11:42 1
      - The anedotal evidence I've seen says your IM is just not true at all. - Inigo Oct 29, 11:46
  - absolutely this. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 11:35 1
    - (I mean, there are real increases due to ACA for some people. But it's also convenient to blame ACA for all increases) -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 11:35
  - Absolutely. -- nm - pmb Oct 29, 11:33
  - Exactly this. -- nm - TWuG Oct 29, 11:26
and for most people, it didn't. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 11:19
