Plenty of blame and ideas on increasing Obamacare premiums

I believe that if an insurance company is going to do business in Colorado that they should provide the same options and cost to everyone. Basically, no special deals because you work for a company and everyone is in the same pool. The only way to make the cost reasonable and fair for everyone is to broaden the pool.

With the fairly small percent of Coloradans that need individual coverage, I suspect that the impact on the cost of health care for the business would be pennies per individual. I also suspect that the overall cost to the business, the insurance company, and the medical providers would go down substantially as they all are dealing with way fewer policies.

I’ve got no problem with businesses offering health coverage as a benefit, but I think it’s time we treat everyone the same, especially when we are mandating that everyone have coverage. Bruce Butterf ield, Broomfield

In the face of a 27 percent rise in health care insurance next year, how many people who campaigned and voted against the ballot initiative to have Colorado implement its own universal health care are now wondering if they campaigned and voted the right way? Robert E. Forman, Lakewood

How very nice of the editorial board to highlight the deficiencies of Obamacare. What took you so long? Everything that’s evolving from bad legislation, passed by an arrogant one party vote, founded on false assertions and flat out lies are coming to fruition as the editorial points out.

What galls me — the editorial board is having difficulty in placing blame. They just want it “fixed.” Really? I ask a simple question on determining responsibility: If someone or some organization commits an egregious act under false assertions which will be harmful to millions, does that, on a scale, have an equal balance of responsibility with those who are making an effort to reverse the negativity of the act?

That logic doesn’t make any sense, unless you are trying to give absolution to the guilty party. As usual the media politically will blame President Donald Trump and the Republicans. What’s new? Peter Bruno, Arvada

I see again and again articles about the absurd cost of health insurance. A point I’d like to make about why I don’t have insurance. It isn’t just the cost. I don’t have insurance because I almost never go see my doctor.

There is seldom anything wrong with me and when I had a problem with chronic fatigue, I had to figure out what was causing it because all the tools and training my doctor had couldn’t. I object to being punished for being healthy, that is the cost of the Aca.bradford Pierce, Lakewood
