Florida’s largest Obamacare exchange health insurer is boosting its premiums by 17.6 percent, a staggering increase for hundreds of thousands of Floridians.

Florida Blue, the Blue Cross Blue Shield insurer in Florida, has the largest market share of any insurer operating on the state’s Obamacare exchange.

“...diseases, courtesy of ObamaCARE and RomneyCARE”

someone here is suffering from RFS [Romney fixation syndrome]. Dio sounds like the demoncrats who are always bringing up Bush in any and all conversations. in case anyone is clueless as to whom Dio did not support in 2008, the correct answer is Romney.

17% will hurt, but I doubt that it is enough to destroy this terrible law. We have to trust the Supreme Court to restore the rule of law. Time to pray.

17% increase after one year. Expect similar annual increases each subsequent year, as long as Obamacare remains the government slush fund that it is.

Despite your confusion between 2008 and 2014 and
your impetuous presumption, ROMNEY and RomneyCARE
are the reasons that ObamaCARE remains, and the
EXEMPT are going home.

RomneyCARE = HillaryCARE = ObamaCARE and they
have the same “creators”.
