Don't say conservatives didn't warn you. Conservatives cried foul, subterfuge and political shenanigans when the 2015 enrollment period start was pushed back to after the 2014 Midterm elections.

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration on Friday unveiled data showing that many Americans with health insurance bought under the Affordable Care Act could face substantial price increases next year -- in some cases as much as 20 percent -- unless they switch plans.

The data became available just hours before the health insurance marketplace was to open to buyers seeking insurance for 2015.
Cost of coverage under care act set to increase

Just more of, "You can keep your plan if you like it." ("Oh, and if you can afford it.")

And, "We'll reduce a typical families premiums by $2,500." ("Someday, over the rainbow.")

Remember, "You can keep your doctor." ("If she is covered under your new plan.")

Kind of makes you see blue, don't it?

Yes, yes, I can hear Crystal Gayle warming up now.

Depends on the plan and the state and...

If you read past the first sentence you discover that in NH a silver plan can now be had for 14% less. Lots of places have seen pretty substantial decreases.

Here's a handy map:

Right-wingers have a poor grasp on the whole "average" concept.

Not at all. Note this in the quote I provided. "in some cases as much as 20 percent -- unless they switch plans." I will not spoon feed anyone. You did read the entrie article, which you ay not have, had I not called it to your attention. The idea is to help educate people so the administration can no longer gruberize you. No, instead you chose to attack. I'd say you missed the entire concept of being an informed citizen.

If not for Conservatives paying attention, Solyent Green is awaiting you.

I do not disagree with you at this point. As I told fictional detective #1, the intent is to bring information. To get you started. What you choose to do with the lead in is entirely up to you. No mandates from here. I trust my fellow countryman to make good decisions, unlike this administration.

Given the administration's track record on full disclosure to this point, this news is just the beginning in all likelihood.

The Leeches don't care as long as they get theirs for free.

If your costs go up, they just shrug.

Looks like some people will see it go up and some will see it go down. But of course this is a bash ACA thread so there isn't any decrease going on at all, we can't have right wingers ever being honest about something like ACA, now can we.

If more than half the plans are seeing increases that exceed those markets with decreases...
