For the first time in modern history, the Obama administration has forced insurance companies to withhold 2015 prices until after the election. So he can shield Democrats.
In the past, new prices were announced 60 days before the first day of the year. Not this year. Warner Todd Huston reported:
Barack Obama is again playing political games with our health insurance industry and has turned in another underhanded move against it by forcing insurance carriers, brokers and agents to withhold their 2015 prices until after the 2014 midterm elections are over all so that the news of higher prices won’t hurt Democrats on Election Day.
This means that customers looking to get new insurance or those wishing to scout new policies to see if they can get a better deal are not able to shop for insurance.
Before we get into that, though, millions of new cancellations will be hitting on January 1, 2015. Much of this news has gone under the radar as Democrats and their lapdog media are keeping this as quiet as possible.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
we’ve had the 2015 prices for a month already.
I don’t understand this forced thing. How is he going to “force” them to do anything...
revised, you know like they do with unemployment numbers.
Not true.
Most have made their 2015 benefit elections.
Health Insurance premiums are up 22% over 2014.
You, and your pet squirrel?
Isn't that nice for the two of you? LOL! :)
Prediction: Obamacare is going to turn much of the actual taxpaying part of the population into criminals when they can’t afford to pay the premiums and have been penalized to the extent that liens are placed against their properties and the Feds descend upon it like vultures. In fact, I predict that it will become a pattern of corruption when it is revealed to be intentional so that the feds can sell their homes and pocket the cash. The taxpayers will become criminals when they stand against the IRS to keep them from stealing it using the ACA.
Yep, I don't get how he "stopped" the Keystone..
So we can take it out on Hillary.
Wasn’t it first called HILLARYCARE..?
Saving the bad news until AFTER the elections. Typical ‘RAT tactic.
look, why be rude?
I have had my 2015 price for a week.
Same here.
And Eric Snowden can’t get this info???
con·spir·a·cy
noun
a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.
e.g. concealing detrimental healthcare pricing information until after an election.
“bait & switch,” I believe Rats call it, when businesses do this......
EXCEPT...there will be some KEY U.S. Senate runoff’s (less than 50% of the vote winners) that will come in December and January. Whoops!!
Bttt
How is he “forcing” these companies to postpone announcing the rates? Are they that afraid of him? Does he have a secret gestapo that we don’t know about?
First of all, I’ve read somewhere that less people have insurance now than before obamacare. Second, most who bought it can’t use it because the deductibles and copays are so high. And third, a poll was taken that shows 53% who bought insurance say they won’t renewe.
