I have no reason to believe that mine will go down, with or without the ACA-
Maybe, maybe not. Without getting unpaid medical expenses under control, we know they certainly weren't.

So, with 5-6k deductibles and variable,but substantial, copays- how many of the previously uninsured will this really help-
I mean they couldn't pay before- will they have 5-6k (or more) to satisfy their deductible-
I'm betting no....
What do you mean by help?
The 5-6k bills that patients incur and pay off in $50 a month increments are not killing our system.
It are the 150k bills that are never paid where the provider has to still pay the doctors, nurses, technicians, rent, utilities, and machine expenses.
The medical industry is the only one where the actual entity is forced by the government to care for people, make all of their payments, with no guarantee of collecting a dime for the services rendered.
And we wonder why its so f^%$# up.

I agree with all of that...
And if the point of the system is to make sure hospitals get paid- then this will work-
But if the point is affordable care- I'm not so sure-
Furthermore- I'm not sure costs will go down just because more bills are actually being paid- more likely profits will soar...
I suppose if that happens- then this turns into kind of a reverse wealth distribution-
I may be completely reading things into your post and the implications- but imagine the political fun that might yield-

By insuring more people, it guarantees payment which in turn, reduces the inflated costs existing to compensate for non-payment.
