He said he will replace Barry care with "Biden Care".  Which to me implies that the current plan sucks.

For me b4 Barry care, I was paying with Kaiser $121 a month and it was the most expensive policy to choose from.  Once it passed, my premium went up to $232 a month the first year.  Then to $408 the next.  I also lost my plan that first year and had to select another one.  I've had other friends who had family plans paying $600 a month for husband/wife/1 child.  Their premium went up in 1 year to $1600 a month.

So "you can keep your plan" was BS. "Your premiums wont increase" was also BS.  I do understand like 10% for inflation, but double then double again, no that's not inflation.  You also had people like Jimmy Kimmel cry on his show that thanks to Barry Care, his son can get the heart treatment that he needed.  You mean someone like Jimmy, can't pay cash for the procedure?  Instead now peoples premiums raise more due to the carrier having to pay for this surgery that he's using his medical insurance for.

IIRC, the HI health connector site that cost $1,000,000 to set up, that didn't work correctly and had a bunch of carriers listed on it as options.  Shortly later, HMSA left and the only carrier on it was Kaiser.
I believe Trump mentioned in the debate that the original plan was not sustainable.  That while it may have seemed great upon first glance to many, but that further analysis after it was initially implemented that it would eventually implode.  At least what I recall.

It was all BS. Barry knew no one was going to be able to keep their plan. Why? Cuz they forced the insurance companies to provide services to everyone even if you would never use them. Such as prenatal care and child birth to single men, prostate and vasectomy’s to women. And my favorite, sex transition surgery to everyone. In other words you have to pay for all these coverages even tho you don’t want, nor need them. In order to force you to take all these coverages the insurance companies had to cancel everyone’s current policy and force them on to Barry Care’s policies. Without Barry Care you can pick and choose what coverages you want. I currently am forced to be on Barry Care. I have no choice except not have health insurance at all. There is only one provider on Healthcare.Gov and the premiums for AZ went up over 100% the year before I moved there. I currently pay for myself only. I have a $4000 deductible and another $3000 in copays and my premium is $1600 per month with a $1000 taxpayer subsidy. And of course I am forced to be covered with birth control, all forms of baby stuff and sex transition surgery. Barry Care is one policy fits all and it obviously doesn’t work for 99% of everyone in the US because we are all forced to pay for coverages we don’t want nor need. When you take away competition and choice (freedom) the costs skyrocket.
SCIENCE THAT CAN’T BE QUESTIONED IS PROPAGANDA!!!

That I did not know.  Thanks for the info about cancelling the current plan, so they can charge me for all that extra stuff that my current plan didn't have/charge for.

Yes.  The ACA was a stepping stone to Universal Healthcare, or more aptly named Single Payer Healthcare.

There was a speech Obama gave before the 2008 election in which he advocated for Single Payer, but admitted that can't happen unless and until we did away with the private health insurance industry,  So, ACA was designed to do just that.  Create a massive "exchange" that lured the private insurance carriers in by offering massive subsidies and a huge pool of customers -- larger than any single state pool could ever be.

Once that monstrosity started to fail, as it was intended and designed to do, it would whip up pubic support for Medicare for all -- the government-run Single Payer Healthcare goal.

Single Payer means the government controls prices.  No competition, and no options for subscribers.  You get what they offer.  Part of the "plan" was to drive up insurance premiums and deductibles so high, the people unable to afford them would have no choice but to opt into the ACA or face a tax penalty with no healthcare benefits.

Create a crisis, then offer a solution.  Typical Alinsky tactics.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
