“Going up” is a major understatement. Most studies show them doubling at least (from an already sky high cost). Millions of middle class Americans are going to find themselves suddely without insurance because they cannot afford it.

That's a win-win for the government. These people won't be able to afford to join any of the exchanges, so the government's liability will be zero, while at the same time, these people will be forced to pay more in taxes, resulting in a new windfall for that same government.

Within a couple of years, the American Lo-Info Voting Public will be demanding that government "Do Something" about the health care "Crisis" (which they caused). And Voila! Single-payer is born!

When I retired 14 years ago, health insurance was part of my retirement package and my former employer generously paid all the premium.

Now, my insurance premium takes fully 1/3 of my private pension. My portion of the premium increases every year by leaps and bounds. It's my secondary insurer now, after medicare but it's still the primary insurer for my wife and 2 minor children.

The company still pays my medicare premiums though, since they required me to get it at age 65.
