Nov 9

People are already being notified that their premiums will go up 1000% or more. Example: $400/month now to $1200/month starting in January.

That's no small thing. Healthy, or healthier, people will just drop it. My child being one of them. They have not renewed their coverage because they just can't afford it but they are in decent good health.

As the pool becomes smaller and higher risk, the costs will go up dramatically until it just collapses under it's own weight.

Not just the ACA but the entire healthcare system.
