They are also getting FAT checks from individuals + subsidies that NEVER have a claim....

Case in point ME. I've been with BCBS before there was an ACA. My premium was just under $300 per month. NOW just five years later they get almost $850.00 (ACA + me) for what is just about the exact same policy.

How many claims have I had before ACA and after?? ZERO. So if Trumps folly passes BCBS will expect me (now retired) to pony up right at $600 per month if Trumps policy has a subsidy of 250 per month in it--good luck with that.

And of course that will just be for starters. Once again it will be like the Wild West with them jacking rates every time you open the mail.
