>>>JR, you seem to be excessively focused on the FUD claims regarding ACA. What's your opinion of the repeated (broken) promise of annual premiums being significantly lowered? Even CNN, hardly a bastion of ideological opposition to Obama, has done major articles lately on the actual impact.

>Press back a few times to find prior commentary about healthcare price inflation being lowest since they started recording in the 1960s (Thanks, Obama?) as well as issues re premiums and the need for oldsters to attract youth to their plan to keep costs lower. Fairly standard underwriting stuff, FWIW.

I think it's a Freudian slip to say "Thanks, Obama?" with a question mark, as it's hard to make a case that ACA has had a major impact on the reduction in inflation. A much more plausible explanation is the slow recession recovery and the overall slow growth since 2009.

ACA's main objectives never included reduction in inflation anyway.

And by the way, even the Washington Post gave Obama 3 Pinocchios for his claim on the cause-effect of health care price inflation...by pointing out what I just mentioned, and also that health care inflation was slowing even before ACA was passed.

Bottom line - there's no compelling or interesting argument that ACA has led to significant improvement in U.S. health care. If UHG actually goes through with their talk on pulling out, you've got a disaster waiting.
