Where the ones who have bern paying the external costs when people buy substandard policies. That's who we are to tell people what to buy. And we're sick of paying for other people's shit.

The inflated costs come from everyone without insurance going to the ER for free healthcare, including the 15 million illegal aliens living here, and the one's sneaking in, and their voting relatives. Which is why they didn't address it, duh.
Everyone needs to apply some simple logic and economics and you will see why Obamacare will fail:
You can't have affordable healthcare insurance, if you don't have affordable healthcare costs. They are directly and proportionally related. Obamacare does not require in any way whatsoever that healthcare companies lower their costs or even their profit margins. The day you see a law that let's the healthcare industry choose not to treat non-life threatening illnesses for free, is the day you will see healthcare costs go down. Until then, keep focusing on the insurance companies and keep scratching your heads as to why your costs keep going up.
