To the Editor:
Surely there can be no better argument for a national single-payer health care system than health insurance officials saying that new customers turned out to be sicker than they expected. Of course they are, because before the Affordable Care Act many of them had no insurance and no access to preventive medicine other than emergency rooms.
The rate increases noted in the article range from 23 to 54 percent. These outrageous demands will force people to whom the Affordable Care Act gave some hope back into misery from lack of medical attention because they cannot afford the costs. This will effectively begin to dismantle the program that is President Obama’s legacy.

Note from KBJ: ObamaCare is a nightmare, not because it didn't go far enough, but because it went too far. The Left is stuck with this monstrosity. Conservatives had nothing to do with it. And yes, this will be Barack Obama's legacy. The man is incompetent.
