Obamacare website won’t reveal insurance costs for 2015 until after election
The Washington Times ^ | October 15, 2014

Those planning to purchase health insurance on the Obamacare exchange will soon find out how much rates have increased — after the Nov. 4 election.

Enrollment on the Healthcare.gov website begins Nov. 15, or 11 days after the midterm vote, and critics who worry about rising premium hikes in 2015 say that’s no coincidence. Last year’s inaugural enrollment period on the health-care exchange began Oct. 1.

Robert Laszewski, president of Health Policy and Strategy Associates, said in a Monday column in USA Today that “when it comes to a lack of openness and transparency about Obamacare, this administration has no peer.”

They aren't releasing the Bergdahl report until after the election also. Congress and the Senate are not doing their jobs.

How many of the "consumer advocacy" groups that were set up back in the seventies and eighties are on top of this obviously anti-consumer policy?

Why aren't any "good government" groups complaining about the obvious "lack of transparency" exhibited by the Obamacare bureaucrats?

Then, the information must be bad, very bad, as far as voters are concerned.

The question would be

“would they have revealed the costs if they would be helpful in 2014?”

of course.

So the obvious answer is that the costs are going to enrage people against the ‘rats. People should understand that they are going to be mad, and BE mad, NOW.

But, that would be assuming a level of intelligence above which someone who would vote for Obama would actually possess.

I think I read 80% of exchange purchasers are receiving taxpayer subsidies, so I’m not sure they care all that much.

The only reason to go to an exchange is if you know your eligible for a subsidy or are required to purchase from a state exchange. I think there are a couple of states that require all individual health insurance purchasers to buy through the exchange if not covered by a group plan.
