I just got my rate notice for my retiree plan offered through my former employer. It is up 3% from last year and the only reason that happened is because the money that Obamacare had been subsidizing retiree plans with is drying up. I wish it were going down, of course, but a 3% year to year increase in health premiums is the lowest I have seen in a long, long time and maybe ever. The medicare eligible people in our plan actually had a cut in premiums for medicare advantage programs. It certainly seems to me that Obamacare is delivering on the promise of holding down medical care costs.
So health insurance premiums are going up? So they are doing the same thing that use to happen with insurance before ACA...
But it was promised they would go down...remember that? Increases were one of the complaints from the masses before ACA even launched and again, promised lower premiums. The premiums did go up but ours never doubled until they passed that stupid bill. We are looking at a 22% increase next year and already pay $1,100 for our insurance. If this is the way the liberals "fix" inequalities...they simply suck at fixing things.

They did not believe the promises they just used his promises to fool the people
The president that promised to be the most transparent is once again proving to be the most opaque.
We'll tell you your premium increases after you vote...it had been October 1st in prior years, now for the election year it will be Nov. 15th.
You can bet your ass if the new rates would make people applaud Obama and the dems for passing the ACA, the rates would have been released before the elections.
And who makes up the people not paying federal income tax? I see you guys love to use this number, but never want to mention who make up that number. Maybe because you don't want to admit that number makes up seniors, military, students, and handicap. When you take those four groups out of the 47%, the percentage no longer sounds good for right wingers to use.
