Personal responsibility

If health insurance companies want to raise rates, that's their decision. That's a choice they are making. How can they blame it on "Obamacare" and not take any personal responsibility for that decision?

The sort of people who complain the most about "Obamacare" are the ones that expect ordinary people to take responsibility for their decisions. But they don't expect this of corporate "persons", apparently.

If the response to this request is something like, "they are just responding to the financial/legal environment" then guess what? HUMANS DO THIS TOO.

I have an idea. Maybe corporate "persons" should either stop bitching about the ACA and take some responsibilities with their rights, or give up on personhood and go back to being legal abstractions.

Nice to have it both ways, isn't it?
