More proof that Cauliphonya doesn’t need to “legalize” recreational marijuana.

Really? So how does that jive with my health insurance premium increasing 18% for 2013?

[Psycho_Bunny]

Lollolol....

[Jim Robinson]

Meanwhile, Obama blew through $8 TRILLION like it was nothing. And is demanding more.

Consumers is the new word for illegal aliens? I thought it was undocumented workers.

[Ken522]

Definitely alternate-universe ping!

[Cicero]

My insurance for next year just went up, too.

[Venturer]

Peanuts to what it is costing us in higher premiums.

[GraceG]

Of course it will cost your employer 100X as much and lead to the people saving 1.5 billion to be laid off. But hey penny-wise and pound foolish is how the dims operate.......

[Sarah Barracuda]

And how many lives does it cost? I think that’s the question people should be asking
Meanwhile my Kaiser bill went up another 60 bucks..but not a shock since Kaiser loves Obama and gave millions to his campaign

[fatnotlazy]

What rebate? My Medicare supplement is going up 15%.

[svcw]

Saved what?
My premium went 100% my husbands 25%.
Medically necessary meds are no longer covered.......where do these people (LA Times) live, in fairyland?

[popdonnelly]

Rubbish.

[YHAOS]

The propaganda mills are running overtime and exceeding fine.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Once again, the idea that schools are supposed to teach mathematics is something that would probably be good to start doing again.

Maybe consumers saved some money but producers got smoked. If "consumers" saved $1.5 billion and there are 310 MM people in the US and 40 MM do not have healthcare coverage, then consumers saved 1500 million divided by 270 million which is grand total of $5.56 each.

Did your healthcare go up more than $5.56?

Thought so.

[Washi]

The healthcare law attempts to address this by requiring insurers to spend at least 80 cents of every dollar they collect in premiums on medical care, rather than on administrative expenses...

So they have to collect larger premiums in order to make up the lost administration costs?

The average cost of an employer-provided family health plan jumped 4% to $15,745 between 2011 and 2012, a cost shared by employers and employees, according to an annual survey released in September by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research & Educational Trust.

So...which is true? Did the average cost jump 4% or did consumers save $1.5 billion? Is this Democrat math where the cost WOULD HAVE jumped by 1.5 billion more (says Ms. Chloe) if it weren't for Obama's wonderful plan?

[Christie at the beach]

That is the craziest thing ...but the liberals

will repeat the propaganda.

[Smokin' Joe]

My insurance went up by nearly 100%. They claimed it was because of my age. My birthday was 4 months away when the first bill with the new rate came...
