The anchors of CBS This Morning expressed bewilderment on Tuesday at the sharp premium hikes in Obamacare insurance plans, with one asking for an understanding for “why this is happening.”

When Obamacare open enrollment begins in 2017, the cost of mid-level plans will rise by an average of 25 percent in the 39 states served by the federal online exchanges. In addition, major providers like Humana, UnitedHealth, and Aetna have scaled back or dropped out of the Obamacare exchanges, leaving roughly 20 percent of consumers with only one insurer to choose from.

After Charlie Rose read out the report, Norah O’Donnell said, “We need a bigger understanding of why this is happening.”

“We sure do,” Rose said.

UNEXPECTED!

[mrmeyer]

Dumb F***s.

The only reason the anchors are shocked is because they’ve been drinking the Koolaide too long, plus htey have the IQ of dust.

Here’s a hint, Charlie: “government is not the solution, government is the problem

[day10]

Norah O’Donnell said, “We need a bigger understanding of why this is happening.”

I would explain it to you, Norah, but you're an idiot and would never be able to grasp it.

[AU72]

Blaming the insurance companies in 3..2..1.

[2ndDivisionVet]

And they wouldn’t be caught dead on $#*++y Obamacare.

Yet we were all called racists who just wanted a black President to fail for predicting this. Still waiting for the apology. Not holding my breath.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The left is already blaming the Republicans for not working with them to “fix” Obamacare.

[Leaning Right]

Here’s what happened, CBS. A massive government plan was put together by squishy liberals. Such plans always fail, but not before they waste tons of taxpayer money.

Gee whiz CBS, that wasn’t so hard to figure out, was it?

[Spruce]

Someone set us up the bomb

[gathersnomoss]

Unexpected....Drink Up.

[SMARTY]

What ‘happened’ is what was supposed to happen, dummies

[mmichaels1970]

After Charlie Rose read out the report, Norah O’Donnell said, “We need a bigger understanding of why this is happening.”

“We sure do,” Rose said.

Translation: "We need to figure out how to blame this on anybody but Obama. We need to figure out whether to blame the insurance companies, the top 1%, republicans, or any combination thereof.

"If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance!"*

* You just won't be able to afford your insurance.

Isn’t it amazing? Obamacare is actually very good at revealing the true cost of “free” stuff. When it can’t be hidden in deficit spending, we find that “free” stuff is very expensive indeed. That’s the fundamental flaw of all socialism. It goes against human nature, and rewards negative behaviors. What if we all just threw ourselves on government to pay for everything?

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’m starting to think they’ve been gamed by the insurance industry. They rode Obamacare as long as they could to milk it for subsidies. Now that it’s at the point of putting them all out of business they’re turning on the creators.

[Mr. K]

AND ITS MORE THAN 25% IN MANY PLACES!!!!!

What happened is exactly what we told them would happen.

The people who said it would be wonderful are the same people telling them hilLIARy would be a wonderful president.

[mastertex]

Damn Stupid DEMOrats......that’s the problem......FOOLs....VOTE TRUMP
