So according to the CBO the premiums would be lower than if we had obamacare
Agreed, but that doesn't mean premiums went down. It means they won't rise as much.
Do you not see the difference?
If Obama care kicked off the ten percent of the population that used it the most, they ,too, could lower the premiums.
One thing I have not seen is how many of the fourteen million are veterans, like myself. Although entitled to go to the VA, I chose to use the exchanges, for which I receive a tax credit. Were I to lose it, then it's off to the VA. Do you think that system can handle a couple hundred thousand more participants? I hope not to find out.
