I can't prove the reason is Obamacare - but I think it is the cause. lol, the real cause is our screwed up way of delivering and paying for medical care. The incentives are all wrong, and some of us actually believe that Mr. Invisible Hand would take care of everything if only he was allowed to by Big Nanny Government. Yeah, right. I know you always say that you believe that a single payer system is the only way to go--so why blame Obamacare for your rising rates? Why not blame the hospitals that charge outrageous prices for virtually everything they do? Or the insurance companies for enabling these charges? Or the hospital administrators who get outrageous salaries? Or physician specialists who charge two, three, five times as much for operations than physicians in other countries? Or the medical schools that put so many doctors in training into deep debt by the time they finish their training that they have to charge high prices or order extra tests just to get out of that debt? I could go on. But blaming Obamacare for high insurance premiums is not exactly fair.
