[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 571543"] It predicted premiums 5% higher in year 1. But after a couple years, premiums were predicted to be significantly LOWER. The CBO estimated that 1/3rd of the country would see premiums 20% lower. Most of that would come from the fact that less healthy people and older people (who are also less healthy) would pay significantly more than younger people without any health problems. Which you know, is kind of how its supposed to be. The notion that a fit, healthy person with no health issues should pay the same amount as a fat, sedentary vaper is obnoxious to me. And btw, before folks wonder if I'm being cruel to people who have cancer and can't help it. No, I'm not. We spend 7x as much on healthcare costs for obese people than we do for people with cancer. $1.1 Trillion on obesity related healthcare expenses versus $175 Billion on cancer. [/QUOTE]
