Previous Presidents used executive orders provide instructions on how to carry out the laws that Congress had already passed. This President is using executive orders to to modify law and/or create laws.

No, nothing like that. Health insurance just costs way more now than it did before, and from the initial rollout information I heard it was supposed to cost less. At least as I understood the way that worked it was supposed to cost less. And now I can barely afford it. Like I said, it's probably just my problem.

A lot of people, even with the subsidies, can't afford the premiums still.. I'm in that boat too, I'd rather just pay the penalty(tax) at the end of the year to avoid the high premiums, as many others will too..

Reason costs went up was because of broad coverages for things and laws that were passed have not been seen here in the US.. There are still laws that no body knows how they will effect things yet.. Also There are a lot of unhealthy people in this country that have to be covered.. Premiums will probably stabilize though in a few years probably at higher rates than before.
