Ted,
What costs did they hide?
All of the ObamaCare mandates amount to hidden costs. The government doesn't want to pay for the benefits because they wanted to keep up the fantasy of the program being "revenue-neutral," so they force others to pay them.

Hence the reason why many people lost their insurance as a result of ObamaCare, because their insurers couldn't afford to meet the mandates with the existing premiums. These people had to upgrade to more expensive plans whether they liked it or not.

But anyway, the bigger problem IMO is not the access to health care, which ObamaCare does indeed improve. The bigger problem is the skyrocketing cost of health care itself. ObamaCare only addresses the insurance side but not the provider side. More supply, more competition, less regulation in some areas and more regulation in others, will help but ObamaCare does nothing.

Instead, demand for health care will only go up, which will necessarily lead to higher costs for everyone.
