Kind of pisses me off all the people who DO NOT get insurance on the exchange

getting all worked up, especially Republicans.
I get it that Dems are concerned but I doubt the Republicans care about those of us who do use "Obamacare"

It's all just a political football to them.

1. ABC News just showed that 99% of Trump's Doral resort in Miami are on hotel's insurance, not ACA

While Donald was faking outrage, lying about how his employees would be hurt by the ACA premium increases

4. And even with Doral picking up 70% they are probably still into it a couple hundred / mo.

People conveniently forget what insurance costs, what obstacles there were before ACA and how much the rate hikes combined with benefit decreases used to be.

And ACA was a compromise getting the most they could out of the congress.

People should be pissed.
Pissed at the fact that insurance companies are adding cost but no value.
Pissed at the fact that the same medicines are cheaper in other countries.
Pissed at the fact that there is such poor regulation of the medical "industry".
Pissed that its one more system rigged primarily as a money maker.

They never present a valid alternative - they just want to take away the coverage I FINALLY got thru the ACA!

7. Premiums are going up exponentially across the board, not just for on-exchange plans.

Those who purchase off the exchanges will be paying a lot more, again, and they're not getting subsidies.
