I am confident that if we compared those two policies side by side, you didn't have the great insurance policy you think you had.No damaging mandates? Right! My health insurance went from $250.00 a month for a $1200.00 deductible, to $678.00 a month with a $6000.00 deductible. That is what the first obamacare mandate did to me. You may not think of that as damaging. I do. Why have health insurance if you cannot afford to use it? I dropped out of the private health insurance market.
Under Obamacare, there are indeed winners and losers. The winners are the poor, old and sick while the losers, the young, healthy and rich pay a bit more. Overall, healthcare costs are under control and everything the right predicted did not happen.
