Consumers want to know how much more they are going to pay for insurance under Obamacare in 2014 than what the pre-Obamacare market offers them today.
The Heritage Foundation has carefully looked at this question, and the results are dismaying. The average family of four will see a premium increase in the exchanges of 10 to 30 percent. For young Americans, the premium hikes are much worse, in the range of 50 to 100 percent or more for 27-year-olds, including 71 percent in Nebraska and 170 percent in Georgia. And these premiums are for plans with, in most cases, very high deductibles, ranging from $2,000 to $2,500 for the so-called silver plans and $4,000 or more for bronze plans.

Obamacare, designed to fail, is failing too soon
"Obama’s progressive “fundamental transformation” of this country was to revolve around a single-payer, government run and controlled healthcare system. He realized that he would have to sell a Trojan Horse to the American people; America would not stand for an immediate and open takeover of 1/6th of the economy. He therefore planned to gradually ruin and demonize the private insurance industry until it was fully destroyed, leaving full government control as the only option."
Sarah Palin:
“
Obamacare in its current corporatist form isn’t meant to last. It’s meant to push us towards full socialized medicine with a single-payer system. How do I know this? Simple. Let’s compare Obamacare with the Canadian single-payer system.
With Obamacare we have crappier health care (fewer choices, fewer doctors, and an IPAB rationing panel of faceless bureaucrats, aka the ol’ “death panel” that has been admitted to existing in Obamacare), but it is very expensive for the individual American.
Now let’s look at what Canadians have. I dare say our good neighbor to your north, and my east, has even worse health care coverage, but at least it’s “free” for the individual.
Americans, if you’re faced with a 300% increase (or even a 65% increase like my family) in your health care premiums for crappier coverage, doesn’t “free” socialized medicine all of a sudden sound appealing?
And that’s how Americans will be led down the primrose path to a single-payer system. People will be frustrated, worn out, and broke under this new government burden. Many will end up concluding they’ll settle for – then demand – full socialized medicine because they’ll see how the unworkable Obamacare will break our health care system “
Can a young person who’s parents can’t put them on their insurance policy because their existing policy has been canceled, even though “kids” under 26 are supposed to be covered under their parents health insurance under Obamacare? How is that supposed to work out? What a spectacular clusterf*ck. Break out the popcorn. We can’t wait to see how this turns out.
I understand the Plantations used to have free healthcare for their “workers.”
Whats funny is the exemptions, everyone is out except the average American who will be forced or be jailed
I went on the website at 6:20 am today and it is just flying along. Every time I clicked on a link, it opened immediately. I was able to pick a level of coverage and then get a long list of plans with prices.
Two things. One, not many people trying to get on, but last weekend at the same time, I couldn’t get anything to work. We’ll see what happens when I’m not the only person in the country trying it out. Two, maybe they are making some progress now that it is not being worked on by political hacks.
I didn’t and won’t type in any personal information, but it remains to see if it bogs down after that or screws up the information it is given.
All I got to do is work for my food, clothing, shelter and health care. Deal!
What tax rates are Canadians paying to have “free” health care?
30 million people with a large land mass lots of mineral wealth, oil and gas and a deep freeze winter so long the people should get something just for staying there all year.
Yeah, Canada. By the time they outfit themselves for winter the average Canadian has no money left to spend on health care.
