And one way to start is for the President to make good on his promise through a tax adjustment for the self-employed being forced into higher premium policies. It won't work. The real problem with ACA is that all of its "successes" are based on giving people more than what they pay for. All the success stories reported in the media are just that, and none of them note that if this person got a much better deal than they had before, than someone must be paying for it. What is funny is the dismissing of the 5-6% who are getting reamed as only a small fraction of the population. Fine, but if they are the only ones with cost going up significantly, then its this small fraction that is footing the bill for all the others windfall. Which of course isn't true either. The 5-6% with their increased cost can't support all the others windfalls, so the cost will in fact shortly ratchet up for everyone again. Which will be another dose of reality checking for the ACA.
