"Obama administration officials told the AP that Americans will not be able to find out if their health insurance premiums are going up "until the second week of November," which conveniently falls after Americans will go to the polls November 4th."
I believe in this instance O is referring to Medicare costs.
On page 14 of the 2015 Medicare book sent to participants it CLEARLY states that rates ARE not AVAILABLE AND YOU SHOULD CALL their 800 number.
If you call you will be told that they do NOT have the rates.
Sorry to burst your bubbles, but this is standard insurance industry practice, folks.
Like I keep telling people, most insurance companies are run but Republicans. Obama has so much less to do with it than anyone realizes....
But i guess if you still need to be angry over the ACA, this is as good a made-up cause as any.
*sigh*
No, it's not standard practice. You find out any changes to your policy during open enrollment, including rate changes. Most of the time that's during October, but for Ocare it's November. Hmmmm......
Before signing OC into law Obama, Reid, Pelosi and her ilk said that Healthcare is a right!
So if it's a right which means at no additional out of pocket cost other than they print more money, I demand that I get this utopia they promised me and all Americans.
Also Michelle Obama said that we should be eating healthy food (except for her and her husband), okay may as well put that into that utopia package. So Green Beens, Lettuce, Fruits and whatever the heck you want should be demanded by your Congress rep as it's our right.
OC is the POTUS excuse as a parachute to his current and future new voters coming across the border illegally probably soon to be granted amnesty.
Gee, I enrolled through the ACA and I got a letter two weeks ago informing me what my premium will be in 2015. I guess my insurance company didn't get the memo. Ironically, I didn't get my voter's pamphlet until yesterday.
The key factor in Obamacare was getting rid of the idiotic pre-existing condition ban, so that hardworking entrepreneurial Americans can buy insurance on the same footing as government and corporate employees.

Yes, we were just notified of the similar increases in our contribution to the premiums and the annual maximum by my employer. They are maintaining their same contribution amounts, but passing on the increases to us.
