"What is your data to show the ACA has caused an increase in health care costs? You don't have any, do you?" If people here want to have a back and forth with you about this [b.s.], I think it would be helpful if you'd be clear whether you are referring to the PRICES of various health care related expenditures, such as the price of a health care insurance policy, or the price of a primary care physician office visit, etc., or are you referring to the aggregate health care expenditures [SPENDING/COSTS] by all individuals and government agencies in the United State, or you are intentionally confusing the two, using them interchangeably, while throwing almost certainly bogus W.H. statistics into the mix? Then, too, it would be helpful if you would differentiate and identify the costs to individuals, who are required to maintain individual budgets and pay with money they actually have, or costs to governmental agencies, who are able to either print it or confiscate it. And, just out of curiosity, how do you suppose your helpful health care spending reporters are reporting the cost of new IRS agents? Or are they all being hired on January 1, and haven't received a pay check yet? Navigators -- are they in your report? Seems like a lot of health care professionals to add to the employment roles and still lower healthcare costs. A neat trick indeed. Cheers.
