Arizona will be hit the hardest whenObamacare premiums go up next year.
The Department of Health and Human Services revealed Monday that premiums for a midlevel benchmark plan will increase an average of 25 percent across the 39 states served by the federally run online market, and that about 1 in 5 consumers will have plans only from a single insurer to pick from, after major national carriers such as UnitedHealth Group, Humana and Aetna scaled back their roles.
However, in Arizona, unsubsidized premiums for a hypothetical 27-year-old buying a benchmark “second-lowest cost silver plan” will jump by 116 percent, from $196 to $422, according to the administration report.

BTTT
The election is in 2 weeks. I’m sure they know what will happen(sarc).
If John effing Roberts says it’s a tax why do the media keep calling them premiums?
It’s actually extortion but some degree of accuracy would be nice.
The internet has sprinklings of people saying ‘Obamacare saved my son’ etc. No it didn’t and he didn’t. Doctors and nurses and pharma companies did. These are the of fools who respond to emotionalism and who make grievous attribution errors ie the kind who would vote for Hillary despite her black heart.
Okay, I’m stumped.
CBS ran with this story. No matter how I slice and dice it, I don’t see how it can be anything but bad for Hillary.
So why did CBS run with it?
A lady on FB put her Blue Cross letter up to show... her last payment of $700 is going up in January to $1800 (rounded figures). how can families pay that? That’s a house payment!
Hey Arizona... ya want more of that? Do you like having your monetary resources lifted from your pocket for “coverage” you may not necessarily need?
If so.. if you like being ripped off, vote for the witch.
Hey, Donald Trump supposedly groped this woman 14 years ago. Why bother feeding your family or keeping them healthy when that news is out there?
THIS is one primary reason why early voting should be scrapped.
To blunt the impact of the story when people see the unspinnable on Nov 1.
Anyone who is Christian and still in Obamacare you need to get out fast. Check out a Christian healthcare co-op.
Approved alternative to Obamacare. The one I’m in is amazing. Been around 30 years. No monthly increases in the 5 years I’ve been in, choose your own doctor. Deductable in the hundreds, not thousands.
Most people will just choose to pay the fine...or maybe not pay the fine as it appears in most cases taxpayers can claim a “hardship exemption” and avoid paying even that.
116% next year! What was it the years before and what are the future increases to be? Keep in mind that McCain and the rest of congress immunized themselves from obamacare. We the taxpayers pay for their healthcare.
Mark my words, President Hillary will come for those Christian health plans, my pretty
And your little dog, too
“If John effing Roberts says its a tax why do the media keep calling them premiums?”
You are kidding, right?
Premiums for insurance are going up.
If you do NOT have insurance (or a Christian health plan exemption) then you pay a tax - $695 per person or 2.5% of your income whichever is larger.
Because they know Hillary supporters won’t read it or care. A few will when their bill goes up next year. Also of note the email hacks have shown Hillary wants it to crash and republicans to give her a single payer rubber stamp.
One of these days a candidate is going to drop dead fourteen days before election day, and we’re all going to learn a very hard lesson about early voting.
Oh yes, anything with Christian in the name is going to be a primary target for the Wicked Witch of Westchester.
I’m afraid you miss the point and the gallows humor.
When something is mandatory it doesn’t really matter if it’s a premium, a contribution, alms for the poor or any other euphemism.
It’s no longer payment for a service. It is coercion ergo it is a tax ergo it is confiscation at the point of a sword. To draw distinctions between forms of compulsory behavior is to accept the premise. At that point you are merely choosing your form of execution.
