That is increase not the cost.

As someone who was one of many laid off by UHG last summer after the Supremes gave their blessing to Obamacare, I can only say brace yourself.

First your premiums are going up, as you noted.

Second, as people lose their insurance because they cannot afford it, the cost of health care itself will go up.

Third, your taxes will go up to pay for additional burden on the public health system.

Fourth, Medicare and then Medicaid will be decimated in an attempt to feed the beast—that was already begun with the creative accounting the administration did to try and pay for the thing.

Fifth, the increase in regulation will drive costs up even further and payments to doctors down causing many to simply abandon the profession altogether, and fewer to choose to go into medicine in the future.

Obamacare is a bad-tempered boa constrictor around the neck and torso of the American health care system and the American economy. But it is individuals who will have their ribs crushed and suffocate. The government does not operate by the code of "first do no harm." And all those people who thought they were voting for Obama to get fee health care for everyone may be surprised to learn that they will be the first to feel the pain.

“...causing many to simply abandon the profession altogether, and fewer to choose to go into medicine in the future....”

You forgot the final step.

Obama 2016: “To replace the greedy doctors that have left the medical fields, I have created the Doctors Use Medical Profession Corp (DUMPcore) that will will provide free education and training. Upon graduation they will serve the U.S. Government for a minimum of 8 years in providing free medical care.”

They never wanted Government Insurance - the want Government HEALTHCARE.
