Except we never had the IPAB and since congress has already gutted the funding for it we most likely will never have the IPAB.

I find it pretty laughable :lol: you are still trying to derail this thread with a non existent board.
And that is a good thing...However, with repub leadership, (an oxymoron to be sure) goes along with total and unquestioned funding of the ACA, against the wishes of the people that elected them, this will ultimately be a reality when the ultimate goal of the ACA is realized in Universal Health Care...And at this point, they might as well...Since the ACA, my wife can no longer be on MY health insurance through work, and as a result our premium payments doubled since she has to have her own, plus her deductible went to $3k per year, that includes paying out of pocket 100% of her doctors visit costs until that $3k is met....We are middle class people, with not a lot of money left over after bills, so what this has meant for her is that she no longer will go to the doctor until something is possibly dangerous to her life, or until what ever the problem is, is advanced....How is this better?
