That was ACA for you. Well, no actually.. That was ACA for you It was never claimed to reduce rates for everyone What it did do for everyone though, was assure that you received actual, health insurance protection for the premiums you paid ..care to share with us the before and after on the coverage terms you have ..or is it better not to look at things like that..makes the bitching less significant

"My rates went up 65% " Oh, of course. We need to change things just for you. There are losers in life. You have my condolences. This is the ACA for Rat, and, in '12, there were almost 51 million Rats The Affordable Care Act & Medicare Top 5 things to know about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) if you have Medicare: Your Medicare coverage is protected. Medicare isn’t part of the Health Insurance Marketplace established by ACA, so you don't have to replace your Medicare coverage with Marketplace coverage. No matter how you get Medicare, whether through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan, you’ll still have the same benefits and security you have now. You don’t need to do anything with the Marketplace during Open Enrollment. You get more preventive services, for less. Medicare now covers certain preventive services, like mammograms or colonoscopies, without charging you for the Part B coinsurance or deductible. You also can get a free yearly "Wellness" visit. You can save money on brand-name drugs. If you’re in the donut hole, you'll also get a 50% discount when buying Part D-covered brand-name prescription drugs. The discount is applied automatically at the counter of your pharmacy—you don’t have to do anything to get it. The donut hole will be closed completely by 2020. Your doctor gets more support. With new initiatives to support care coordination, your doctor may get additional resources to make sure that your treatments are consistent. The ACA ensures the protection of Medicare for years to come. The life of the Medicare Trust fund will be extended to at least 2029—a 12-year extension due to reductions in waste, fraud and abuse, and Medicare costs, which will provide you with future savings on your premiums and coinsurance. medicare.gov
