A college has been forced to double the healthcare fees charged to its students, and lays the blame solely on Obamacare.
Finding out what’s in it: A college has been forced to double the healthcare fees it charges its students, and lays the blame solely on Obamacare.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in the past two weeks has the mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuses to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Of course, the college could just drop the health insurance requirement. I don’t understand what business colleges and universities have in requiring students to carry health insurance. The first time I went to school, no such requirement existed. The second time, there was such a requirement, but the cost was nominal (under $100 per term, if I recall correctly).
The next step is entirely predictable. As Obamacare dramatically increases health insurance costs, more college students are going to complain. Legislators will feel the pressure to Do Something. Soon enough bills will be proposed that provide tax-funded subsidies, or require schools, to defray some or all of the health insurance costs for those attending post-secondary schools. Tuition will rise faster than it does now. Students will complain . . .
The only consolation is that a large number of those affected are the the same people that supported Obama, and support single-payer health insurance. “The President and the Democratic leaders in Congress championed this bill and they said it was going to lower the cost of healthcare,” Johnson told Fox News Radio. “It’s not only raised my cost, it doubled the cost of my healthcare.” Kid, a lot of people tried to tell you that three years ago.
You do understand that the woman that uttered those now famous words ” you have to pass the bill before you can know whats in it”
is under the impression that she is and has been doing the best work of her life.
What a head, what a legacy, WHAT A DISGRACE!
Of course we were lied to…how could you trust these politicians who didn’t want this Obamacare for themselves. They are truly repugnant!
It’s ok we will just control health care costs by increasing the money students get in student loans…
Except the Democrats will find some way to blame the problems with their program on the Republicans.
