Guess you don't even know how it's funded, your increase in premiums has nothing to do with funding the subsidies that people recieve.

And, besides you being diluted, are full of sh!t !

"Obamacares Bill Is Due!"

And thats where the consumer comes in. Someone is it, the party paying the bill. And that it is increasingly you, whether you receive insurance on the exchanges or FROM AN EMPLOYER!

8 Of 11 Surviving Obamacare Co-Ops Facing Failure
 
Eight of the 11 remaining Obamacare health insurance co-ops are in serious financial trouble and could collapse by the end of the year, Mandy Cohen, a top federal health official told Congress Thursday in testimony before a House oversight panel.

Cohen, the chief operating officer for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, generally stonewalled the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health Care, Benefits and Administrative Rules during a hearing focused on the status of the surviving Obamacare health insurance co-ops and the additional costs taxpayers could face in the event of more failures.

Twenty three of the non-profit co-ops were established under Obamacare in 2012 to compete with commercial for-profit insurance companies. But so far half — or 12 — have closed their doors after only two years of operation. A thirteenth co-op in Vermont was never licensed to operate.

Obamacare patients sicker and pricier than expected
 
Patients in Obamacare are sicker and need significantly more medical care than those in employer-sponsored plans, according to a new Blue Cross Blue Shield Association report.

This raises fresh concerns about the possibility of steep rate hikes for 2017 and of insurers leaving the Obamacare exchanges.

The study, the first of its kind to look at millions of enrollees across the country, found that Obamacare members have higher rates of costly illnesses such as diabetes, depression, hypertension, heart disease, HIV and Hepatitis C.

They also use more medical services -- including emergency rooms, in-patient hospital care, doctors and prescriptions than patients in employer-sponsored plans. Their cost of care was 22% higher than those in work-based health plans in 2015, or $559 a month, on average, for Obamacare enrollees versus $457 for those in employer plans.

Obamacare Insurers Are Looking for a Taxpayer Bailout
 
Insurers helped cheerlead the creation of Obamacare, with plenty of encouragement – and pressure – from Democrats and the Obama administration.
As long as the Affordable Care Act included an individual mandate that forced Americans to buy its product, insurers offered political cover for the
government takeover of the individual-plan marketplaces. With the prospect of tens of millions of new customers forced into the market for comprehensive
health-insurance plans, whether they needed that coverage or not, underwriters saw potential for a massive windfall of profits.
 
Six years later, those dreams have failed to materialize. Now some insurers want taxpayers to provide them the profits
to which they feel entitled -- not through superior products and services, but through lawsuits.
