Keeping your health law plan may mean premium hike (America, you got screwed by the Libs)

Many of the 7 million consumers who got insurance under President Barack Obama's health care law will see their premiums rise next year unless they switch to another plan, independent analysts said as the government released details Friday.

The Health and Human Services department released a massive computer file of 2015 premiums one day ahead of the start of open enrollment. Those numbers will take time to fully analyze.

But there is a catch if you are already a customer: Your plan may no longer be the lost-cost benchmark in your community. In that case, you'll pay more unless you switch.

"Just because you enrolled in a low-cost plan this year is no guarantee that your plan will also be low-cost next year," said Larry Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. He analyzed a 48-city sample of 2015 premiums from data available earlier this week.

So, exactly WHAT problem does the left say that Obamacare solved?

And at what cost?

And could that problem have been solved without all this misery?

And could it possibly be that the misery was the goal all along?

Surely, any premium increase will be more than offset by the $2500 I’ll be saving.

Obamacare is and always has been wrong - a deception built on lies. And trying to do the wrong thing the right way is an exercise in futility.

This is nothing new. The whole history of Marxism and Fabian Socialism and “Progressivism” is about implementation based on lies and deception. What you initially see and hear is NOT what you get. Obama managed to get elected twice because there were enough gullible people who continued to believe his lies and deception. Lies and deception are the only ways Socialism is implemented. Lies and deception are the only ways Socialists are brought into power.

The unconstitutional $4,000,000,000,000 federal government is wrong. Unconstitutional Obamacare is wrong just as the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade decision and unconstitutional federally forced validation of abortion are wrong. All based on lies and deception bringing forth death, misery and poverty.

The study of “How to Properly Implement Obamacare” or some other socialized healthcare replacement program called by some other lying name, is a study on how to do the wrong thing the right way. But there will NEVER be a right way to do the wrong thing. There ain’t no such animal.

If you had paid attention instead of complaining about a sell out, you would know that the Supreme Court declared Obamacare to be a tax.

That is what it is, a tax with few real benefits

Remember, the insurance companies were all complicit. ObamaCare would not have happened if the insurance companies had fought it. They though the would be raking in the bucks.

“The Affordable Care Act offers subsidized private health insurance to people who don’t have access to coverage on the job.”

While raising the costs and lowering the quality for everyone else.

We didn't really have a problem till Obamacare came along.

Obamacare wasn't meant to solve any problem. It was designed to allow more government intrusion into, and control of, our lives. And at the same time, make people pay for that intrusion and control.

I hope this monstrosity teaches America a lesson — there is no “something for nothing.” There is no “free” healthcare that is paid for by “the rich.” There is no magic bullet that will let them take care of a major life expense for free. Maybe Americans will grow up a little. Maybe they will realize that you have to work for what you want and need in life, and that you have to make smart choices when buying something like healthcare.

All that have signed up are people who need subsidies, there’s no one paying any substantial premiums. Therefore, it should collapse on its own!

Gubermint to the 7 million

It will be offset by increased tax payer subsidies. Shhhhhhh, it's our little secret, no need to get the Middle Class whom are paying for your subsidies riled up.

This is how Obama sold the plan to Insurance Companies.

Force everyone to buy Health Insurance, let them pay low the first year, then the next year the Insurance Companies can raise the prices to the moon.
