I know I am PO's that they are making this money and still raising their rates by so much next year. I still think that all health care should be a "not for profit" industry. Not a "non-profit", but a not for profit.

You could replace it with single payer and your taxes would really go up, so Americans would complain about that also. Unlike in the UK where most citizens favor the National Health Americans would deride Medicare For All just like they seem to hate all other aspects of big government.

Not saying single payer would not be better just telling the truth. That is why we have Trump in the White House right now.

Taxes would have to go up a hell of a lot before it offsets what I'm paying in premiums.

I could absorb a 10% income tax increase and still come out ahead if I didn't have insurance premiums.

Except the taxes will be going down if Trump & the GOP had their way, which they may with the budget resolution.

In the interim, Trump's mentor had this to say today.

“Not gonna make the CSR [cost-sharing reduction] payments. Gonna blow that thing up, gonna blow those [insurance] exchanges up, right?” Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of the website Breitbart News, said Saturday in a speech at the Values Voter Summit, a conservative convention in Washington, D.C.

When a party or their leader cannot govern, next best thing to do is to undo.

Bannon is blowing smoke. I think it far more likely this is a move to get Congress together to negotiate on this.
