Associated Press ^ | March 13, 2013 | Tom Murphy

Some Americans could see their insurance bills double next year as the health care overhaul law expands coverage to millions of people.

The nation's big health insurers say they expect premiums — or the cost for insurance coverage — to rise from 20 to 100 percent for millions of people due to changes that will occur when key provisions of the Affordable Care Act roll out in January 2014.

How is health coverage being “expanded” when it is being put out of the financial reach of millions of previously insured Americans?

Millions will lose coverage and the “solution” will be single payer system...completely by design.

Obama Wants to Eliminate Private Insurance (video)

This video has Obama advocating a single payer(socialized) health care plan. He says it will take a few years to accomplish this.

The triumph of Obamacare and the Left. Millions forced into more government dependency, less disposable income, or opting out all together. The sheep voted for Obama; now they are going to get sheared - unfortunately with everyone else along for the ride.

If you can’t afford an “approved” plan and you’re not in a favored group, then you pay Roberts’ “tax”.

Or, if you’re of a demographic or group that is in favor to this administration, you will get a subsidy to pay for a government option in the “exchange”.

Simple enough?

The Democrats’ tax hikes will pay for single payer. You never see a premium or deal with a hospital bill.

“How is health coverage being “expanded” when it is being put out of the financial reach of millions of previously insured Americans?”

The expansion is intended to cover new Democratic voters who will be getting it for free. The voters who already had it were not, for the most part Democratic voters and therefore don’t count. This was never an attempt to improve health care or coverage for the middle class or conservatives. This was about fairness and covering minorities and illegals. Unfortunately, a lot of people bought the smoke and believed the mirrors.

Send this please to everyone on your email lists. People need to know how badly they have been lied to. This is our job since the media has failed to do theirs.

This cannot be right - we were told Zer0care was going to cost us less money. The AP must be racist.

The left and the media will tell the LIVs that it’s the insurance companies’ fault and that the only solution is to go single/government payer “insurance”,
and the only way to get that is to elect Demik Rats.

My insurance agent called me to warn me that my policy was going up 20%. When I blamed obamacare, he skilled avoided the subject. It almost seemed like he had been trained that way by his company.

No. Its a simple formula.

“Your rates are going up because the rich aren’t paying their fair share”.

This formula has been very effective.
