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)

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)

This is because the GOP altered the law to remove federal funds given to states to reimburse for high premiums.

Private-insurance premiums have indeed risen significantly (and, per CMS actuarial estimates, will continue to
absent new legislation). Many factors at play, so it strikes me as factually inaccurate to allude "insurance industry greed" is solely responsible for this change.Hvala. Twitter će to iskoristiti za poboljšanje vaše vremenske crte. PoništiPoništi

In 1987 my premium for ins through my service industry job was less than $10 a month, full coverage (dental & vision) no co-pays & no deductible.

Wendell, do you think that the increases in the prices charged for health care—eg by hospitals and drug manufacturers—have had any role in the rise in premiums you point out? If so, to what extent?
