As someone actively involved in fighting for Obamacare a decade ago, it’s time for a confession. While much good came from it, the truth is it didn't achieve all we'd hoped. Millions more have insurance now, which is huge. But it's so costly many are barely able to use it. (1/11)

In 2010, premiums for the average family cost $13,770. Last year, due to insurance industry greed, it was $20,576. Money that employers could give their workers in raises instead went to insurance companies. No wonder my old insurance colleagues like this system so much. (8/11)

Deductibles have skyrocketed, too, increasing 162% in the last 10 years. This means a record number who technically have coverage, but can barely use it. Overall, these "under-insured" adults increased from 22% in 2010, to 29% in 2018. Again, insurance industry greed. (9/11)

41% of those who are underinsured say they delay care because of their out-of-pocket requirements, and 47% say they have medical bills & debt. That's why so many *with insurance* now turn to GoFundMe or bankruptcy, because of medical bills they have no hope of paying down. 10/11

So if the insurance industry (and its favored politicians) urge you to keep our basic healthcare structure in place, it's not because they like Obama, or care about what's right for the American people. It's so they can keep shifting costs to us. That's the goal. Always. (11/11)

That’s because Obama and the Democrats gave up the single-payer option without even putting it forward. They pushed a plan that would be “acceptable” to the GOP rather than fight for a plan that would actually accomplish something.

All they really accomplished was to guarantee the insurance companies more customers, and cause premiums to rise.

Those MILLIONS you talk about are people who once were able to afford healthcare with the insurance they had. The insurance is now a barrier to the average American while we struggle to simply pay the cost of the insurance.

Millions struggle to pay insurance premiums of $20,000 a year for a family of four, with deductibles of $7,000/$14,000? What's the problem? Doesn't everyone make $150,000 a year?
