I’m with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Illinois and I think that’s what happened to me.
Got a letter stating that due to the ACA provisions my insurance premiums would be going up $170.00
No, no, no, Dear Citizen! That is not how a good citizen of the Regime looks at the Affordable Care Act. Imagine how much your insurance would have gone up without ACA (pronounced "Akk!", like one is gagging).
It's all about shared sacrifice; and you are being sacrificed so others can now get subsidized policies. The politicians can do the math and buying 3 votes while losing 1 works in their favor. The issuance company makes out with the forced purchase of higher priced policies and now government subsidized policies. You, well... two out of three ain't bad.
