came back before I was supposed to, because this office is my 'baby'. we've had health insurance, tony and I, for the entire 30 years we've been married, and both were in military at the time. been paying into the system since I was a teen, worked before I graduated high school. what is amazing to me, is when i disagree with someone, and then they paint an entire picture about me. I'm not obese, not a taker, have been a responsible adult who raised three kids, served my country..... I own a home, on which I pay taxes, 42 acres on a lake, 2 business locations. he's an electrician. but yeah, I'm a taker.  as for the other taker...so, we work, we retire, we get on medicare at 65....paid into the system, but then we're takers??? surely not!

I just hope for the day of single payer. because, altho more people than ever are insured because of the aca, the plan is untenable. it won't work in the long run. in some places, it already isn't working in the short run. it's a convoluted mess. but, it's still better than not having insurance at all....and I'm sure a lot of the people still without coverage are in that spot because they live in a state that didn't expand Medicaid. they don't make enough for a subsidy...they're screwed.

In addition to UHC, Aetna now dropping out of 70% of the ACA markets:
>>>Aetna Inc. will withdraw from 11 of the 15 states where it currently offers plans through the Affordable Care Act exchanges, becoming the latest of the major national health insurers to pull back sharply from the law’s signature marketplaces after steep financial losses. Aetna’s move will sharpen concerns about competitive options in the exchanges—and it puts at least one county, Pinal in Arizona, at risk of having no insurers offering exchange plans in 2017, a circumstance that would present a major challenge to the basic mechanics of the ACA. The law mandates that most people acquire health coverage, and offers subsidies to lower-income consumers who don’t qualify for Medicaid. To obtain the subsidies, though, people are supposed to purchase their plans through ACA exchanges.<<< http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016...t-markets.html But you can...keep.....your.......Doc........Nevermind

SHOT: "The Illinois Department of Insurance said Wednesday it has submitted rate increases to the federal government that for some types of plans average 43 percent to 55 percent.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services will decide rates. But the numbers released Wednesday confirm the fears of consumers, who’ve already watched a number of insurance companies withdraw from the Obamacare exchange because of financial losses, limiting choices as people prepare to enroll for 2017. Rates could increase by an average of 44 percent for the lowest-priced bronze plans, 45 percent for the lowest-priced silver plans and 55 percent for the lowest-priced gold plans, according to a preliminary analysis released by the state Wednesday." http://www.chicagotribune.com/busine...824-story.html CHASER: Obamacare Website No Longer Addresses 'You Can Keep Your Doctor' http://www.weeklystandard.com/obamac...rticle/2003956 It's working.
