Even as many are shielded by its costs by subsidies paid by the rest of us (yeah, that’s straight up Socialism):
…But a survey of actual ObamaCare customers released this week paints an entirely different picture.
It found that just 22% of the 44,200 ObamaCare enrollees polled rate their health plan as good to excellent. That’s down from 77% who gave their ObamaCare plans high marks last year.
And the reasons why are typical of a government mandated “marketplace” (yet another perversion of the common language):
The reason for the sharp decline was higher premiums, worse service and lack of choice. The survey, conducted by Black Book Market Research, found that 96% reported a decline in customer service support, 90% noted premium increases, 80% said their plans had narrower provider networks, and 77% said their plans’ benefits had been trimmed. Nearly two-thirds (61%) complained about lack of competitors in their market.
The FREE Marketplace results in more choice, better quality, and lower costs (remember what flat panel TVs used to cost? And LASIK?). Just wish we had more of it. People choosing instead of Government flackies choosing.
