Keeping your health law plan may mean premium hike (America, you got screwed by the Libs)
Yahoo ^ | 11/14/2014 | ap

Many of the 7 million consumers who got insurance under President Barack Obama's health care law will see their premiums rise next year unless they switch to another plan, independent analysts said as the government released details Friday.

The Health and Human Services department released a massive computer file of 2015 premiums one day ahead of the start of open enrollment. Those numbers will take time to fully analyze.

But there is a catch if you are already a customer: Your plan may no longer be the lost-cost benchmark in your community. In that case, you'll pay more unless you switch.

"Just because you enrolled in a low-cost plan this year is no guarantee that your plan will also be low-cost next year," said Larry Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. He analyzed a 48-city sample of 2015 premiums from data available earlier this week.

Da! And Only the Willfully Blind and Deaf were Fooled. Time to Wake Up America! Do you like being a “Stupid Voter” (IE “Useful Idiot”)? That what they think of you ask obama and Johnathan Gruber... Arrogance of the Establishment Better than you mentality found typically in the Progressive Mindset...

Seek the Truth for it Shall Set You FREE!

Note: 29 of the Signing Senators (Democratics All) are now Out of Office, that is in less than 4 years!!! Humm something tells me there is a Reason for much of that...

Obamacare the Biggest Lie believed by so many willfully duped people. Wake Up America!

Repeal is the only way out, but it’s too late for a none painful cure, Damage has been done and the pain will happen. Some of us did try to spare us this lesson, but many were willfully blind and deaf, or worst not involved...

Repeal, Anything less is adding to the Mess!

Who Told you the Truth? Tea Party, Conservatives, and Libertarians who were yelling from all places that this and many more problems... were coming! Remember all those who Lied to you and did everything they could to keep the Truth Tellers down!

Obamacare Designed to Fail!

Obamacare Failure, destine to follow in the footsteps of its namesake...

Obamacare only works if you don’t!

Oh and one other point needs to be brought back up even though it was DENIED time and time again, Obamacare is a TAX not Insurance!!!!! Wake Up you Foolish People!

It’s sheer folly to rely on academics to design and implement anything in the real world. That is exactly why Obama fails at everything he does.

Academics can outline a policy but it takes real world experience to make it work.

Academics are never held accountable for their theories, which explains the zero accountability this administration has for their deeds.

Failure upon failure upon failure...

I want someone to explain why this farce of a law cannot be repealed by a simple majority vote of 51 as that was how it was passed? Why are Republicans already starting with the premise that they would need 2/3rds majority and treating it as if it was passed lawfully?

“So, exactly WHAT problem does the left say that Obamacare solved?”

Don’t report on the 10,000,000 who lost their insurance, but report on the 6,000,000 and voila, 6,000,000 new Obamacare recipients.

Surely, any premium increase will be more than offset by the $2500 I’ll be saving.

Your next colonoscopy is on my dime. I haven't hear you say, "thank you."

I can’t explain that. I definitely can’t explain why they don’t attack it head on for the illegal manner in which it was passed. It has become hard to believe that the GOP really does want to repeal it.

The Yahoo spinmeisters just can’t help it. The article states that this is a certainty unless those people change (to no doubt worse) health plans.

“...may mean premium hike”. Love it.

In other news:

“The sun MAY rise tomorrow”.
“Liberals MAY be thieves and liars”

“Your next colonoscopy”

You would think that it would be absolutely free, period, because the government is in there anyway.

Those subsidies may very well be struck down by SCOTUS. That case is before SCOTUS now.

THEN, those who have received them (technically) could be asked to refund the government, or, at a minimum, pay a gift tax on the amounts they’ve received.

The House and Senate could pass a repeal bill by a simple majority vote, but Obama would veto it. They'd need 2/3 to override the veto.

“We didn’t really have a problem till Obamacare came along.”

Au contraire, mon frère. The hospitals are run by thieving, lying liberals. These scum do their utmost to rip you off with double-billing and illegal referrals in order to pad bills. This happens especially if you pay cash. A cash customer is hammered with a bill that’s 200 to 400% higher than a patient with insurance.

We had enormous problems in healthcare before Buckwheat’s obamacare. Buckwheat just piled more crap onto the healthcare mess.

How many times did the House vote to repeal Obama care? Will they do it again knowing that they now have the senate?

“We had enormous problems in healthcare before Buckwheat’s obamacare. Buckwheat just piled more crap onto the healthcare mess.”

Absolutely true, end of story. Any Republican who pushes “Repeal Obamacare” without a real, viable proposed alternative will get hammered, and deservedly so.
