Congrats, Mississippi, you’re the only state where ObamaCare ISN’T making rates skyrocket!

Woohoo!!! -0.2%! #Winning!

If you have the misfortune of living in any one of 49 states, I have bad news for you. The average 2016 healthcare premium is going to skyrocket thanks to ObamaCare. 17 states will see their rates jump by at least 20%, while five of them - Minnesota, Alaska, Tennessee, Hawaii, and Oklahoma - will see truly staggering increases of 30-47%. The majority will see double-digit increases.

But, hey, why be so “glass 98% empty” about this? Obama has promised us that his namesake legislation is “working” and in one state it actually is. Sort of. Ok, fine, it’s “not really but kinda” working.

According to Freedom Partners (a VA.-based conservative non-profit) Mississippi will see premiums drop by a whopping 0.2%. Let that sink in: one fifth of a percent!

Lol, my Blue Cross and Blue Shield premium in 2005 was almost $600. I got a private policy for my wife and kid across state lines instead and it cost $170.

I must be doing something wrong. My rates here in Mississippi have gone from $750/mo to over $1500/mo. This isn’t a large rate increase?
