In an enthusiastic front-page story in today’s New York Times, Roni Caryn Rabin and Reed Abelson claim that, as a result of Obamacare, health insurance premiums for individuals shopping on their own for coverage will be “at least 50 percent lower on average than those currently available in New York” because “individuals in New York City who now pay $1,000 a month or more for coverage will be able to shop for health insurance for as little as $308 monthly.” See, Obamacare works!
Sounds great, except for a couple of points:
New York has one of the costliest and least functional individual-insurance markets in the nation, because many of the regulations that Obamacare imposes nationwide are already present in New York, on steroids. Hence, New York’s market is far from typical.
In 2010, average per-person monthly premiums in the New York individual market were not “$1,000 or more,” but $357. Even less expensive plans can be found today on ehealthinsurance.com.
I’ll publish a more detailed analysis of New York’s insurance rates soon, but in the meantime, take the Times piece with a big grain of salt.

New York Times, source of most media lies. Hurry up and go broke.
The Times Falsely Claims...
Duh.
Ya. You’d think that they’d lose all credibility after being caught. Obviously, their readers are coolaid drinkers and will folling the sinking ship to the bottom.
He might have. If 50% of the people are out of work and no longer paying premiums, that’s a 50% drop in premiums! (Not sure of unemployment rate in NY).
It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday ... it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.
Sh#t! This can only mean that New York will vote Democrat in the next election!
BTTT!
If you can fool enough of the people enough of the time, you will be re-elected.
So NY is so bad it even makes Obama”care” look good. LOL
