Investors’ Business Daily reported on Tuesday, something is conspicuously absent from the “new and improved” version of healthcare.gov: The prices. A 78% increase in the costs of some peoples premiums, to be exact. This key data will be available starting only the second week of November – conveniently, one week after the midterm elections.
There can be no mistake why this is being done, to protect the incumbent congressmen and senators who voted for ObamaCare and who are now fighting for their electoral lives. The travesty of the entire thing is that 51% of Americans still oppose the law; only 39% support it.
According to HealthPocket, a nonpartisan health insurance research company, Obamacare has increased premium costs for some consumers by a stunning 78%, just in its first year alone.
The Daily Caller states:
“The hardest hit are 23-year-old men, who are being charged 78 percent more this year than they were in 2013; 23-year-old women pay a paltry 45 percent more in 2014 than they did before Obamacare. The picture isn’t much rosier for 30-year-olds, though: The average premium rose 73 percent for men, and 35 percent for women…
…For the 63-year-old age group, just two years away from Medicare eligibility, men were dealt a 22.7 percent increase, while women’s premiums are 37.5 percent higher.”
Virtually every single thing we were told about this law has turned out to be a lie: It does not reduce costs. It does not reduce federal spending. You can’t keep your plan or your doctor. And, on the one year anniversary of the law the New York Post gave it an “F”. But, don’t look to Congress to overturn this law, the only way it is going to go away is if the states start standing up and taking an active role in the fight against ObamaCare.
