Because your paying 76% of the premiums!!!
Gov't pays 76 percent of premium under health law. Among the major findings:

— Taxpayers are subsidizing 76 percent of the average monthly premium in the 36 federally administered markets.

— The average premium is $346 a month, but the typical enrollee pays just $82. Tax money averaging $264 a month cover the difference. The government pays the subsidy directly to insurers.

After tax money, Mississippians paid the least for coverage — averaging just $23 a month on average premiums of $438.

This is from MSN but yet the Government pretends they have lowered healthcare costs, all they've done is shifted the costs to you and me.

The financing of Obamacare never made an iota of sense.

It looks even more crooked now.

Yeah, johnny, for guys like you and me who favor a single payer system, it really is stupid that a lot of rich guys at the insurance companies just rake off a lot of profits from the health care premiums to do something completely unnecessary.

I look forward to your posts championing a single payer system for all, like what you want for veterans.

Insurance companies operate, lean and efficient or they go under. The government is just the opposite. If you add in the cost of setting up/running Obamacare and tax payers paying 76% of the premiums the real cost of healthcare has doubled. If the government also take over the insurance companies' jobs the price will triple, we'll have less tax payers and more tax takers.
