[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 1079361, member: 4932"] What the dell does this topic have to do with Obamacare? The fact of the matter is that the US health care system is broken, sucking down about 18% of our GDP, costing us about twice what every other civilized democracy pays for their health care. And we get worse outcomes. We have quotes here from respected, non-partisan organizations stating what the average premiums are that are paid by large employers for the health care of their employees, and we have compared those numbers to the $50 per month that many have been paying up until now, and commented that that number is not sustainable. If anything, the ACA may help retirees find better prices for their health care for two reasons: exchanges, and the fact that the greedy insurance companies MUST spend more of their premiums on actual, you know, health care, instead of bonuses for their CEO's. Lots and lots of people got rebate checks this year from companies that couldn't do that. We get that you hate Obama and everything he stands for, but puhleeze.... [/QUOTE]
