That's the whole ruse. That's exactly why premiums and deductibles have continued to rise and why insurance companies have made record profits under the ACA.

You make some good points, but remember the government set the parameters and rules that private companies had to follow. It is not free market capitalism and not elastic as you point out.
Did you include the Advanced Premium Tax Credits in the income? And, the fact that 38 million more Americans are insured since ACA started? The premiums had to rise due the many coverages mandated by ACA; for example, 100 % paid for Wellness and Preventative Exams. Are we healthier today due to Obamacare? Lastly, do we even call it insurance when any pre-existing conditions are covered? Insurance is meant to pool risks and spread out over large numbers. If I could buy insurance before a major calamity, I would not call it Insurance. It should just be called a healthcare plan. The companies can’t just pay more claims as you say, claims are real numbers submitted by medical providers for services rendered. Let’s see how many claims and the dollar amount denied. I want to know how much money the government is paying yearly to the insurance companies in the form of tax credits? Bake that number into the equation is why insurance companies income has risen combined with more people on Medicare Advantage Plans, which insurance companies make big bucks on. While we are at it, let see how much revenue private companies make from Medicaid managing agreements for various states.

The Unaffordable Care Act. The government, both Democrats and Republicans, have not done anything constructive to fix the problem. It just go to show you how terribly corrupt and inefficient the government works. Health insurance and healthcare are not one and the same, which Obamacare tried to convince Americans that they were the same thing.

Well, the University needs to verify the permits. The Food Truck vendors need to provide the necessary permits and insurance.

Steamboat would be the most efficient on your route, but I think they open at 5 pm. Cool ambiance in the old warehouse. Soileau’s would be second choice and open 11-9. Mama’s would be open and would be quicker than the others, but way more casual, not much of a dining room.
Kartchner’s over Billy’s 24/7.

NYM’s looks like a nice restaurant from the road but I have never been there.

His track record as mayor of New Orleans does not add any credence to being the president of the US. One of the most glaring part of his record was letting the New Orleans police force dwindle down tremendously, which led to record high crime rates. But, it would be great to help the Republicans win another term!

Dude, it is not corn dogs you Bama fans are smelling at Tiger stadium. It is the smell from the coffee roasting plants on the Mississippi River. Maybe, it is because to most Bama fans a corndog with some Dale’s is a gourmet meal.
I like your attempt at prose and poetry, tho!

It is decent. I don’t get all the hype!!

I always like his cadence and accent. Where does he live with that big putting
Green in his back yard. The Northshore?

A lot my regional trips involve us cooking at a beach house or Airbnb. Often LA folks travel with their pots to cook. But, I enjoyed trying other foods and fine dining in other places.
