Obamacare Update

How much longer will forky/pj continue to shill for this disaster.

WASHINGTON – Insurers will seek significant premium hikes under President Barack Obama's health care law this summer - stiff medicine for consumers and voters ahead of the national political conventions
For example, in Virginia, a state that reports early, nine insurers returning to the HealthCare.gov marketplace are seeking average premium increases that range from 9.4 percent to 37.1 percent. Those initial estimates filed with the state may change.

The health law's nagging problems center on lower-than-hoped-for enrollment, sicker-than-expected customers, and a balky internal stabilization system that didn't deliver as advertised and was already scheduled to be pared back next year.

This year, premiums for a benchmark silver plan rose by a little more than 7 percent.

The health law is "likely in for a significant market correction over the next year or two," said Larry Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. "There have been a lot of signals from insurers that premiums are headed up.”

Premiums never rose under the old system, right? That's why my business owner policy went from $221 in 1999 when I joined my alliance to $464 in 2003/ 2004,
and my Blue Cross went from $560 in 2005 to $864 in 2011/2012. Limiting plans to a 7.0 increase is an accomplishment.

Obamacare promised lower premiums, instead they are going up.

its that time of the year again when our resident conservatives jump up and down over the upcoming 50% rate hikes. Remember last year when they did the same thing only to see average premiums going up a single digits? Here's their embarrassingly desperate thread from last year....

But dont interupt them. All the jumping up and down is good exercise. Plus it gives them a great excuse to ignore the 6th year Republicans have failed to give voters an alternative to Obamacare.

One more time for the slow.

obamacare promised lower premiums, instead they are going up 2 to 3x inflation. United Healthcare is getting out of the business due to extensive losses. Most of the exchanges have gone bankrupt.

Unlike your blood pressure - Obamacare premiums have risen at a drastically lower pace compared to the system that preceeded it

Well the biggest thing those unhappy w/ Obamacare are pissed about ( I'm supposing, at least some of them) is that thee O blatantly lied about it and it was inpart to get reelected. All he raved about was every family saving on avg. 2500 bucks a year, and Time's Lie of the year award, that whole bullshit lie about "if you like your Dr. ..., or equally bullshiting on the "if you like your plan"... lying heap of crap, AND HE KNEW IT WAS BSall along. He would've never been reelected if people weren't so stupid enough to beleive him. Bottom line, costs were supposed to go down, premiums also. Don'y get me wrong, there are some great things about the ACA and it needs ome major fixing but it was deception on an entire population of a whole country, and it caused the re elction of one of the worst presidents in history all based on lies.

Even tho Forky said he didn't say it because of the source, but Gruber did say how stupid the American people are, "the multiple deceptions involved with President Obama’s healthcare law, MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, a administration adviser who helped craft the Affordable Care Act, again called the American people “stupid.” (*)

Did Billy believe the Obamacare sales job that everyone was going to experience a $2500 savings?

Hey Libs, did any of you buy the Obamacare sales jobs promising lots of savings? ANY OF YOU?

"Obamacare "have risen at a drastically lower pace compared to the system that preceeded it"

That isn't what was promised
