Pay attention to details. That chart refers to group plans, i.e. the insurance that people working for companies get. You said corporate health care premiums had skyrocketed, and I provided data saying no they didn't. The ACA was all about the Individual market. Its the Individual, off-exchange market (about 8M people) who got clobbered by large price increases. There are also about 1M on-exchange (I'm actually in that group) who don't get subsidies, but buy on exchange (there is no difference on or off in the premium). So a total of about 9M people got hit. The other on-exchange get subsidies which largely shield them from the great increase in prices. But this what you really need to understand: The price increases in the Indy market, mostly just took the Indy market up to similar prices that the group plans had. As a test of your understanding of insurance, why is that, and why does it make perfect sense, despite your screaming about the ACA?
