I still don’t know how you insure a projected 30 million + more people, vastly increase government oversight, and lower costs. Clearly our current system needs to become more efficient, but I suspect a reasonable percentage of the drivers of change behind the Affordable Care Act really do believe it is the job of all of us to provide health-care in the collective, not insurance, for all:
That’s because more than half the individual market will still end up paying more: “After the application of tax subsidies,” the report projects, “59 percent of the individual market will experience an average premium increase of 31 percent.”
