On Tuesday February, 10th,
2015 The Texas Tribune published
an article titled
As
you may know nearly 1 million Texans have now signed up for
health insurance on the federal market place, known as
healthcare.gov. But Texas, and 33 other states that did not create their own
exchanges, will be the most vulnerable if the U.S. Supreme Court rules against
the Obama administration in the latest lawsuit challenging the
Affordable Care Act, according to Health policy experts.If the
decision goes against the ACA I don't see how rising premiums could possibly be
blamed on the Republicans. I also don't see why the only solution is to
preemptively start an exchange in Texas. It's obvious that the disruption in
the market is from the ACA, and has nothing to do with Republicans or with
Texas not setting up an exchange. If this happens then the obvious solution
would be to repeal the ACA.This is why the government shouldn't get involved in
the market, not that the insurance and healthcare industry was a paragon of the
Laissez-faire market.
