I’m interested in how much private insurance has risen in the same period that ACA premiums have gone up 2X, 3X,4X. The Biden bill was to cover increases for a set period, but did the insurers just keep raising the prices only on the ACA policies? Why aren’t private employers who provide health insurance screaming that their costs have doubled or tripled? They can’t all be passing those costs on to their employees, and if they aren’t passing them on, how are they recouping them? Lower raises and bonuses? Reduced coverage for their insurance?
IMO, insurers kept raising the prices of ACA policies over the last 4 years because they could and the government was covering the increases. Will it be a lose/lose situation where many people lose insurance because they can’t afford the premiums but the insurance companies lose income because so many people just can’t afford the costs.
