Medical  costs for for everyone are going out of sight with Obama care. The author who is simply another mouthpiece for the Obama loving  publisher,  fails to tell you that the increases for having a far less desirable insurance policiy under the ACA will likely double this year. And the coverage will will be less than last year, but the deductibles higher. There may be only one carrier who will be writing policies next year and monopolies like that result in bad news for the public. Mandates unfairly punish those who are young and healthy and who do not need certain coverages, yet have to pay for them. If is a job killer requiring employers to cut back on employees. That is a death sentence in an already faltering economy like we seem to be having in Alaska.
