“However, the analysis didn’t take into account federal subsidies, which are expected to lower costs as much as 77 percent, or show the difference in benefits or co-pays.”
Typical Republican propoganda. Half-truths and fear mongering.
Repub/Dem doesn’t matter – politics as usual. If you think it’s not, your quite naive. These guys play a great game in public and have us mimicking their actions – screaming at each other across the aisle and muck-raking. While behind the scenes, their buddies – partying and congratulating each other on what a great job their goind (or have).
The fact is the insurance company will still get their $100, regardless of who’s paying the $33 or the $77. And, they’ll still run their +100% combined ratios. And then the following year or the next, they will increase rates and start again. Doesn’t matter, it’s all about the capital float, ROI and tax incentives for running in the red. In the meantime, the individual tax-payer will get the shaft.
Cheaper as long as subsidies continue to support the program at the same proportion to premiums. What happens if subsidies go down or go away?
Wont it be great to wait around each year to see “how much” they will subsidize your more expensive healthcare that was cheaper while it was being “subsidzed”?
Also, don’t forget. All these projections are based on the assumption that millions & millions of people will flock to sign up – mostly those young, health citizens who currently don’t have insurance because it’s too costly to have a benefit, since they don’t really need it.
When that assumption fails, it comes crashing down. What then? Can you say Greece/Spain? {Oh wait, we’ll just print more money}

Is that the same half-truths and fear mongering that the Democratic Party was using regarding the sequester earlier this year?
Neither party seems to be able to present the truth.
