Obamacare saved $2.3 trillion in healthcare spending to date and saved families an average of $4000

Yes...it's amazing what you can accomplish by spending less on healthcare. Don't let those elderly people receive the quality healthcare they've been getting and they just die off so we don't have to spend as much on them keeping them alive. Good job democrats.

Are you saying the affordable care act caused the decline in life expectancy in the US?

I’m sorry, when was the last time healthcare cost dropped at all?

The point is --- Healthcare costs HAVE NOT dropped. Anyone asserting this is a fool.

Every recent year... healthcare costs in the U.S. achieve a new high.

Your point is irrelevant babble - the thread is about reduced healthcare spending, not costs and if you don't know the difference then you are the fool.

Anyone trying to claim that the U.S. reduced healthcare spending over the past few years is either a parrot for the pharma/medical industry or a left-wing ACA supporter that does not understand basic math.

Healthcare costs year over year have not dropped during the period of my life. Under ACA the increases have accelerated --- as outlined by the U.S. Government CMS data.

No one claimed anywhere costs have dropped.

The entire Stat News article is trying to claim that Obamacare controlled costs and reduced U.S. medical spending. This is patently false.

Of course the entire article is ghost-written by the Pharma industry to promote their agenda. The article is nothing more than paid advertising with fabricated information.

You’re having a bad day, man. Go take a nap.

You simply need to admit that the Stat News article is fabricated nonsense written by the Pharma industry. The data pushed in the article is refuted by the government CMS and CBO data.

You really should take a look at the agenda of sources before posting articles from them.

Obamacare has raised premiums, deductibles for pretty much on everyone! The only ones benefiting are those given free healthcare and subsidies who are in the tiny minority! Sans the BS, Obamacare is a very bad law. I am for keeping it the way it is because those liberals supporting it would suffer its adverse consequences and not all the lies they spew is going to spare them! The most obvious one which is going to kick in soon enough is rationing healthcare!
If you are a senior, you will be denied care in favor of younger patients! Just wait for it and see for yourself! This is happening now with the UK NHS and even worst in Cuba! Those champions of healthcare countries per the liar documentary of Michael Moore in his Sicko movie!
