Although the Obama administration has yet to release the federal health care premiums for 2015, some private insurers have.

One of them in Minnesota has indicated that they will be showing increases of up to 60% for their ACA-compliant policies. Preferred One, the largest and lowest-cost provider of health insurance in the state, pulled out of the state’s MNsure exchange last month due to its being “unsustainable.”

Alycia Riedl, with the Minnesota Association of Health Underwriters, commented on the news:

That’s even before Ebola coverage kicks in.

You mean the increase which goes towards health services in Africa and not the US?

Obama hates small business anyhow. He thinks “they didn’t build that”.

All of it. Flying Africans here to treat them, going to Africa and having Americans infected and then treated here.

Treatment of the now expired Mr. Duncan must have cost a lot.
Who paid that? Yap, it was us who carry health insurance.

I puke when I hear demoRat operatives say millions are happy about Obamacare, and the GOP talking heads never reply “of course they are happy, they are getting free or subsidized health insurance, paid by those who work”.

Duncan received services in one form or another from 70 individuals at Presbyterian and elsewhere, and the cost of everything was in the high $ix Figure$.

As I recall, I read that information here on FR last week one day. Sorry I don’t recall which thread.

Yes, but someone paid for all those man hours, the Ebola prevention suits, hospital equipment and medications, etc.

Another thing I don’t get is how are airport security personnel are qualified to detect Ebola infections. The infection can manifest for upto 21 days before symptoms appear. Mr. Duncan was showing no symptoms when he got off the plane.

I agree. My bad. I said all that and then failed to include the punch line. Duncan, ONE PERSON, received ALL THAT ATTENTION, and had all that money spent on him. Of course, WE paid for ALL of it. But the point that was made in the thread in which I read that data; How in the world can we throw that much money and effort at each case when we the time comes that we have thousands of cases, as Obola has been conniving to make happen?

Exactly. If we get only 10 cases of Ebola, all bets are off.
