Insurance premiums rise more under Obama than under Bush (enemies, dollars, federal)

[pghquest]

Health Premiums Up $3,000 Under Obama; He Had Vowed $2,500 Cut - Investors.com

Premiums for employer-provided family coverage rose $3,065 — 24% — from 2008 to 2012, the Kaiser survey found. Even if you start counting in 2009, premiums have climbed $2,370.
What's more, premiums climbed faster in Obama's four years than they did in the previous four under President Bush, the survey data show.

Yeah, but some people will still blame Bush and celebrate Obamas accomplishments in cutting costs because they celebrated these plans during their convention.

Where are all of the lefties now to tell us how Obamas policies are succeeding?

After getting a letter this week with another raise in premiums due to obamacare, my insurance has now doubled since 2010.

My premiums have almost doubled in the last two years within a few, and I mean a few dollars.

Sorry but my premiums went up every year under Bush but the last 2 years they have not gone up at all. That blows a holein the OP's theory.

Mine did too in the Bush years, at a much slower rate.
Doubled in the past two for me patches that "claimed" hole in the OPs post.

Under Bush, our insurance did go up but by so little that it was no big deal. This past summer our company changed our options and we now pay a huge per year deductibles and the premium increased.

This is an interesting video
