The deductibles and coverage of the lowest tier plans were effectively useless wealth redistribution systems. I certainly remember looking at the lowest plans when this fiasco started, which would have beggared me, but didn't even cover doctor co-pays.
Dec 20, 2017 at 4:53	comment	added	Panda		@tj1000 Wouldn't more people choose to drop out to avoid paying the "skyrocketing premiums" as you indicated, since there's no longer a penalty. Some may be discouraged to drop out now due to the penalty, but if there's no penalty, won't they be encouraged to drop out?
Dec 20, 2017 at 4:42	comment	added	tj1000		I disagree with the statement that people will drop out in the absence of the penalty. Since I went on obamacare in 2014, the premiums have gone up 110%, and the two insurance providers where I live just applied for a 50% hike, due by the first of the year. People are dropping out because the cost is outrageous. Obamacare is in trouble because it was based on a flawed economic model, as the skyrocketing premiums indicate.
