Obama told them they should start low and have a couple 'lost litters' years.
After that, insurers would be free to keep raising costs each and every year.
4% increase this year. 6% next year. 5% the year after next.
My premiums have increase a lot more than 4-6% per year.
The first time in my life, I’m considering dropping it.
High deductibles, insane premiums, and all my expenses are out of pocket anyway due to the deductible.
If I were younger, it would be a no brainer to drop.
We tried to tell the Democrats, that Obamacare would bankrupt people. Now that it's happening, the Democrats are trying to blame it on the people who warned them.
Sadly, at least some members of the public who weren't fallowing along, will sucker for it.
That’s interesting considering zero Republicans voted for this quagmire.
Did anyone ever get punished for not paying the personal mandate fine/tax?
Amazing that they can pass a shit bill then blame Republicans when it doesn’t pan out.
Rising premiums are the democrats responsibility. 0bamacare was structured for increasing premiums (among other built in failures).
Not one Republican voted for 0bamacare.
The Rats own it lock stock and barrel.

Well -- no, moron.
The Democrats see an advantage here because the GOP promised to repeal ObamaCare for SEVEN YEARS ... and then failed to fulfill this promise when it was in a position to do so.
Everyone know who did this...Obamacare. It has his name all over it.
There's a 'LOW LOW INTRODUCTORY PRICE!'
Each successive year there's a percentage increase.
It was all coordinated with insurers which is why the initial rates were relatively low.
Yes, true...
Sadly the Democrats will make the case we screwed it all up by changing things.
Some folks will fall for it.
Don’t sweat it. They’ll be the folks who are beholden to the Democrat’s freebies, and would have voted for them anyway.
They just need to explain what the premiums would be if they hadn’t dropped the mandatory purchase.
Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress. During the campaign Trump promised better healthcare insurance with lower costs and more options. They own it now.
That's politics for you.
And Democrats have succeeded in their promise of blocking any major reforms - unless of course they’re targeting John McCain, Rand Paul and Mike Lee - none of whom are up for reelection this year.
Think of it like the story of the Three Little Pigs ...
The little pig with the house made of straw had his house blow away every week, only to have it rebuilt by the insurance company. The little pig with the house made of sticks had his house burn down every month, only to have it rebuilt by the insurance company.
The little pig with the house made of bricks never had a claim ... but his insurance premiums kept rising to cover the insurance company's losses on the other two houses.
So he finally said: "Screw this!" and canceled his policy.
So now the other two pigs have even HIGHER insurance premiums ... because they have to cover all the costs of rebuilding the two homes by themselves.
Yeah. The one thing that democrats are truly good at is misplacing blame. Thank God we have a President that will stand up to them.
And do what? Say, "It's all Obama's fault?" How does that help those struggling to pay premiums and wondering why the GOP hasn't done anything to make it better?
This is all the Republicans fault. If only they had burned down the Capitol and prevented the democrats for voting for Obamacare, then none of this would be happening.
See, this is a typical example of the GOP accepting the inside the Beltway’s premise. The second they try to do anything to repeal Obamacare, Chuckie Schumer feeds talking points to his cohort in crying, Jimmy Kimmel.
Now, now, they have the chuptazh to blame Republicans for a bill that they passed without a SINGLE GOP vote. The GOP should be harping on this all day long. WE DIDN’T PASS IT, WE HAVE TRIED TO REPEAL IT, THE DEMOCRATS HAVE STOOD IN OUR WAY.
PERIOD!!!
