Again, A single person who makes less than $64,000 will get help to pay their premium. A family of 4 that makes less than $80,000 will get help to pay their premium.
Last time I am going to explain this to you. The Health Insurance companies will now have to offer policies to people who have pre-existing conditions (basically unhealthy). By doing this insurance companies are taking on more risk. The probability of unhealthy person submitting a claim is much higher than that of a healthy person. This is why the rates can go up. Unhealthy people need heath insurance too. Offering health insurance policies to these people is not Socialism. By the way I did not see in chart the prices for state of New York. The rates for the sate of New York went down. In the Auto Insurance a bad driver ( someone who has 2 accidents in 1 year) will be forced to go on the Assigned risk plan (the driver is still covered by an Auto insurance company) but their rate will go up. The state makes sure that every auto insurance company participates in the Assign Risk plan. No one company is forced to take on an unfair percentage of high risk drivers. This is similar with Obamacare, unhealthy people will be allowed to purchase health insurance.
Obamacare is going in. There is nothing you or the repubtards can do about it.
