Competiton breeds savings and comes from insurance companies competing for millions of new customers.
As to the run away increases, they have been occuring for the last 10-15 years, not just since the Affordable Care Act was signed. To suggest a direct causation as a result of the new act is stretching the facts quite a bit.

IMO, it is a plan that is based on sound economics.
Will it work 100% as planned; probably not.
Is that a reason to write it off before it is fully implemented; definetly not, unless you are so opposed ideologically that you are not willing to at least give it a chance.
