Lekker hoor.
Hier zal de gemiddelde Amerikaanse verzekerde bijzonder blij mee zijn. Ahem.
Across the country, for men overall, individual-market premiums went up in 91 percent of all counties: 2,844 out of 3,137. For 27-year-old men, the average county faced 91 percent increases; for 40-year-old men, 60 percent; for 64-year-old men, 32 percent. Women fared slightly better; their premiums only went up in 82 percent of all counties: 2,562 out of 3,137. Thats because Obamacare bars insurers from charging different rates to men and women; prior to Obamacare, only 11 states did so. Because women tend to consume more health care than men, the end result of the Obamacare regulation is that men fare somewhat worse. Relative to men, the average rate increase for women was less extreme: 44 percent for 27-year-olds; 23 percent for 40-year-olds; 42 percent for 64-year-olds.
Kortom, Obama heeft precies het tegenovergestelde bereikt van wat hij zei te willen. Verzekeringen zijn vrijwel overal duurder geworden, en flink ook. Hierdoor hebben nog meer mensen het nóg lastiger om rond te komen. Omdat Obama dacht dat hij het zorgsysteem wel even dacht te kunnen 'fiksen.'
Wat is die man een ramp geworden voor zijn land zeg.
