Higher premiums, higher co-pays, and higher deductibles are not the fault of a Democratic Party plan

Those are all the ideas of the insurance companies. Because they have to make a certain amount of high profits for their CEO's and shareholders. Some people may be confused by the higher premiums and deductibles? But they should lay the blame where it belongs. It is not "Obamacare" - it is the insurance companies.

Such is the nature of the "free market" in today's world. Once the insurance companies are not getting the huge subsidies from the taxpayers for being part of Obamacare, they will look somewhere else to get money for their shareholders. The Republican plan will never satisfy their need for greed. It's not the fault of a Democratic plan or a Republican plan. It is the flaw within the system that permits people to make fortunes off the misfortunes of others.
