Yeah they did, their reductions cost me an extra $80pm this year. It probably cut their costs, you know since they are exempt from this bs.

There is source. He meant to say 3,000 dollars, but said percent instead. The 3,000 dollars will be though. Those that keep referencing 3,000 percent, are just desperate to have something to spew. Let them enjoy.

Subsidies do not lower costs. They just rearrange who is paying for it. And since you gotta pay a government employee to make these decisions you increase costs. No way around it.

At least you recognize when Palin "misspeaks", she doesn't seem to be able to.

It will be worse under Obamacare because it's national.

From your link:

Health care was 23% of the state fisc in 2000, and 25% in 2006, but it has climbed to 41% for 2013.
