Sorry ms.amylou, but you seem a bit out of touch with the current healthcare costs. Somehow you appear to blame 'bama care. What is this and how is it responsible? Look at the facts and how they reveal that medicare costs are skyrocketing. The Affordable Care Act helped to reduce the rate of increase of health insurance by increasing the insured pool. "Gouging" plays a much smaller role than imagined. Unless you're referring to profits to insurers. That's an interesting topic for another day.
