"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."

They could raise the rates and their voters wouldn't even notice and vote them back into office anyway.

Yeah, we'd hear non stop

"If only those republicans expanded Medicaid in those 21 states, then there would be enough people to pressure downward costs"..

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*

Except that traditional plans announce renewal rates now. Mine, for example, will rise 8.3% on January 1. When I ran the company, we typically got the renewal rates from Kaiser in the first week of October.

Imagine if this is an indication of things to take place nation wide

Proposed prices for health plans in 2015 unveiled | The Miami Herald

Premiums for plans sold on the Affordable Care Act exchange next year will increase by an average of 13.2 percent.
