RUSH: Right here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. It prints out perfectly on one page. I will show it to you. Yep. I'll show it to you there on the Dittocam. That's what it looks like. What it does, is state by state it tells you what your health insurance premiums were before Obamacare and the exchanges, what they will be after (i.e., when you go there), and what percentage change it is for an adult age 27, an adult age 50, and a family of four. Now, I'm gonna show you this.
If you look at the colors, the bright orange and the next faded orange represent states -- and I want you to take a look at the column on the left as I show it to you, because that's for age 27. Up 100% is solid bright orange; up 51% to 99% is the next shade of orange for age 27, the Millennials, state by state. Right here where my index finger is. I don't have time to zoom. I don't know how well the colors are actually transfer here. But do you see all of that color?
Right there by my index finger -- the whole column, top to bottom -- that color stands for massive increases in premium costs for 27-year-olds, the average Millennial age. Those are the supposedly healthy, who earn a decent income, whose premiums are going to skyrocket in order to pay for the insurance and treatment and coverage for nanaw and granpaw and freeloaders and whoever else. I'll get into details with the numbers, too.
You could call me state by state; I can tell you. There's one state where the prices are gonna go down, one state. It's New York. That's because the state and Obamacare mandates there are in place. There's a convoluted reason for it. It's temporary. It's gonna balloon everywhere. But the increases are anywhere from 71 to a 100% in that age-group in many of the states. Government's open again, folks! Government's open so we can all just... I learned this from the Republican establishment.
We can just sit back now and wait for the government to collapse on its own.

No kidding. There needed to be a massive mobilization against this from the beginning a la 1994 of small businesses, midsize insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, social conservatives, antitax groups to stop any effort to expand governmental authority over health care. Why we didn’t have that tidal wave of lobbying five years I will never understand.
What age group did Obama get the largest percentage of the votes?
If this really is what it is, there’s going to be a national uprising the likes of which we’ve never seen. Obamacare may be THE issue of 2016, but not the way we think. It could be a battle over what to replace it with rather than “if” it needs to go.
Is this BEFORE or AFTER the subsidies (aka taxpayer contribution) are applied?

Full report with methodology
(MA&HI aren’t on the list - no reason why)
Quick test for those who say they have been paying attention: do you seriously think heritage gives a rat’s ass about gen Y getting clobbered in obamacare? The individual mandate WAS THEIR F***ING IDEA!
Don’t be fooled by the “blue” Colorado line!
Our insurance premiums went up about 29% in both 2012 and 2013.
So, illustrating a “decrease” via the Exchanges, isn’t exactly the whole story.
Probably the age group that I see has the highest rate increases.
Because they wanted it.
Health-care premium increases year after year were killing them because of the third-party-payor, no-resistance-to-price-increases situation they'd unwittingly created in the 1940's when health care became a favorite perquisite.
So CEO after CEO came to his new job swearing death to health plans, and they said it publicly on PBS business shows on Friday night.
Then Howell Raines popped a story in Conde Nast's Portfolio in October 2008, announcing that the deal had been done, in the dark, in a back room by the light of a candle made from the fat of a hangman, and the American People were toast. They'd get pushed out of private healthcare completely and into the slavering jaws of the Communist Party of the USA, d/b/a the Democrat + New Parties.
That's your answer.
So who said okay for the Republicans? I'd look at anybody named "Bush". Mitt's not tall enough, inside enough ..... it was the Bush family that pushed us over Niagara Falls, IMHO.
KY is missing also.
Are this prices for the crap plan?
That is; the one that has a $10-12 thousand deductible?
Bring yer own ...
