Effectively obamacare is 25X more expensive for me (and this is comparing plans in two different states since I recently moved.)
AND! On top of that-- rather than just getting insurance when I needed it (Eg: you just sign up and buy it) you have to have enrollment periods and all kinds of arbitrary limitations and a 60 minute application process on a "marketplace" that really gives you minimal information about the plans, and demands to know far more about you than you really ever had to give up before to get insurance.
One thing about insurance-- and Warren Buffett has made a lot of money on this-- is that they invested the proceeds between when they were paid premiums and had to pay out claims-- and so insurers paid out more than %100 of their premiums, because some of the investment returns would be spent on claims. This allowed them to keep premiums low, and they still made a profit.
Obamacare basically made this illegal because now instead of selling insurance (or good insurance which was demonized as "cadillac plans" during the "Debate") you're selling "programs" -- so the incentive is to not buy until you get injured then sign up for insurance (and just claim you have a life change to get around the limited enrollment periods.) Which means the economics are on its ear and its completely unsustainable. And when it totally collapses-- I predict that people will be claiming its because "insurance companies are too greedy"
After all, they complained about "greed" when insurance companies were paying out MORE in claims than they were getting in premiums (can you name any government program that has provided more benefits than it costs-- effectively negative overhead? Hell, as I understand it welfare spends %75 of its budget on overhead and only distributes %25 as benefits.) No matter how much government screws up this situation, they will blame industry and use the utter failure as "proof" that they need even more power (and even more intrusions into our lives) and even more money to "fix" it.
None of this is a surprise- it was all predicted by those opposing the ACA.
Fortunately, the asian countries are developing first rate hospitals and medical tourism industry.
The only question is, will I be able to accumulate enough to retire to Thailand or somewhere before I get hit with a serious medical condition? Looking at how things have turned out in other countries (eg: New Zealand where if you're "old" you're just not covered and you have to leave the country for basic things like dialysis, even though there are dialysis machines in the country)... I've got a ticking clock.
