Eastern Adams County's Only Independent Voice Since 1887
The Supreme Court has ruled on the Red Party’s attempt to trim Obama’s ACA program. Most of it will remain the same. How will this affect us and what will the future bring?
On average, premiums for 2015 are between two percent and four percent higher than 2014.
However, many younger and healthier people are forgoing insurance and this will make risk pools more costly. After another full year of more costly medical claims some insurers in some states will raise rates.
Drastically!
They are in business to make money!
The ACA has caused a few things to change for sure! It has caused many doctors nationwide to retire early and others to move to larger clinics or hospitals. Small practices and clinics will have a difficult time competing. This is partly because there is so much paperwork that doctors see fewer patients so they make less money.
This happened not only to my primary care doctor who retired early, but is was instrumental in a hospital buying out an entire full service clinic and then closing it. The patients ere given the option of following their care givers.
I found a good doctor but many were not so fortunate!
