That's a fat whopper. Insurance departments don't allow rate increases based on speculation.



Making crap up again huh comrade?

^^good one. Cuebald likely missed that point.

They're making so much money and are so greedy that they don't even want to sell it anymore!

I'd explain further to the pack of idiots posting garbage like this but you need to be able to understand fairly basic math and division....which is going past their education level.

If we can just be patient and stomach this out until next year's midterms are over, then maybe, just maybe, we can finally get enough conservative Senators to repeal ObamaCare.

That charge increase next year will be motivation enough for people to not vote Democrat.

Yep, for those of you that are playing at home the premium tax is often comparable to the insurers profit margins for coverages like this. Derp.

Probably the same people that whine when the insurance companies don't want to cover everything....but then turn around and complain about the high prices.

It's just sad to read these threads, what do you people do for a living and how do you get through life knowing so little but having such strong opinions? Don't you ever care to stop and learn before forming an opinion or is that just too hard at this point?
