WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Friday unveiled data showing that many Americans with health insurance bought under the Affordable Care Act could face substantial price increases next year — in some cases as much as 20 percent — unless they switch plans.
The data became available just hours before the health insurance marketplace was to open to buyers seeking insurance for 2015.
An analysis of the data by The New York Times suggests that although consumers will often be able to find new health plans with prices comparable to those they now pay, the situation varies greatly from state to state and even among counties in the same state.

What a cluster this is.
The stupid American voters believed me when I promised to cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year!
I can’t be bothered to read the whole thing. How did the Slimes blame this on the GOP?
“Affordable Health Care Act”. LOL
And your tax deduction goes away.
And your employer’s contribution is counted as your income.
It is a huge tax increase.
When Gruber said Americans are stupid, he meant the readers of the New York Times.
It was meant to be. As usual, the Rats create a problem and then they will come up with a “solution” that will only make it worse.
“Food Safety Act” ...protects Monsanto and is not safe food.
Marxists always use opposite of what it is, and they say the opposite of what they are going to do....
It’s the GruberMedia.
Oh, I know. The end-game is Government-run Socialized Medicine, like Cuba, Canada, Venezuela, etc.
Can We The People stop it? Sure hope so, ‘cuz I ain’t gettin’ any YOUNGER last time I looked in a mirror! :)
"Obamacare is working"
Once again giving a face to the evil that we pay for
It’s the GruberMedia grubering about grubercare, obamasgrubergate.
do I really have to say it???
It’s the GruberMedia.

Good one! Hope that term catches on. In a very real sense the MSM is a reflection of Guber’s attitude and tactics.
In a democracy, people get the government they deserve.
Hope the low information types are happy.
The high information types won’t be happy, but will not be surprised either.
“Bend the cost curve down”.
I don’t think we have been told one thing that has not turned out to be a lie. Not one single thing.
As dishonesty goes, this is as close to perfect as you get
The Chief Gruber of The Supreme Grubers is still wondering if it’s a GruberFine or a GruberTax.
“unless they switch plans.” You have to read down further in the article to learn that switching plans means getting one that has a much higher deductible and OOP costs for the same price.
I’m not going through the exchange, but the premium for my coverage will go up 60% (to over $700/month for just me) if I keep a comparable level plan. For the same cost as last year, my deductible will increase from $1,500 to $6,500 and OOP costs are higher as well. Basically, they’re moving all of us toward catastrophic insurance-how can we afford anything else?
I’ve called the “esteemed” Sens. Warner and Kaine and the “feel my pain”, but when I asked how they expect us to afford those premium hikes - crickets.
