HALF OF Americans Live In Fear Of Medical Bankruptcy

Medicare has never been eliminated for seniors.

The premiums and deductibles for Obamacare went up for several reasons:

1. Healthcare costs have been going up 5-10% a year for a long time.
2. Obamacare limited how much insurance could charge the old and sick, shifting more of the cost on everyone else.
3. Obamacare allowed many people with pre-existing conditions to get normal healthcare instead of being uninsured or in high risk pools. This puts the cost on everyone else.
4. Obamacare put in place minimum requirements and limited the number of loopholes that insurance plans could put in place to save them money and lower premiums.

There are still many high deductible plans you can get that have a lower premium but you will have to pay a lot out of pocket when you get sick. Also, when you look at the overall cost of healthcare in the US, it went up at a slower rate after than Obamacare than before, mostly because of the recession, but it shows that healthcare didn't suddenly get way more expensive because of Obamacare. What happened is that more of the healthcare costs were shifted to the premiums that the general population pays.

Now you want to compare Obamacare to communism. Can you point out something specific in Obamacare that is socialism and why it is socialism? You also were complaining about Obamacare getting rid of Medicare, but Medicare is a type of government-funded taxpayer healthcare and is socialism.
