This map is nonsense. Oregon exchange has been online for months and premiums are down 15%. You have stated on here that you have high blood pressure, and you are too young for Medicare. How are you insured with a pre-existing condition? Are you on a state high risk plan? Are you covered under VA Benefits? Keep in mind that millions of Americans are forced to pay for Medicare, Medicaid, VA Benefits and politicians healthcare, but when they try to BUY their own health insurance, they are denied due to high cholesterol, or because their kid has asthma or they've been a victim of mal-practice and have a hospital stay on their record. The typical Republican attitude is: Socialism is great, just as long as it's for me. Obamacare says, why should one person pay $800 per month and have to stand in line in the ER behind 4 people who have been denied the opportunity to buy insurance? Let's allow all 5 to buy insurance for $160. It's also shutting down alot of scam policies. You know the ones, companies like Aetna sold them to low wage employers. They deducted $360 p/mo from paychecks, but put a $5000 annual cap on coverage. Remember 60% of people who filed bankruptcy due to medical bills HAD insurance.
Here's what the think tanks that you are reading are so afraid of, and why they're spending millions to spread propaganda: When people are free to leave their crappy jobs, even when their kid has asthma or their spouse has diabetes, many will finally be able to start their own businesses. Corporations will loose their primary means of keeping workers indentured. The eliminations of pre-existing conditions alone, could spark an economic boom this country hasn't seen since the G. I. Bill in 1944. Let the economic/healthcare revolution begin!!!
