New regulations, policies, taxes, fees and mandates are the reason for the unexpected "rate shock," according to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which released a report Monday based on internal documents provided by the insurance companies.

All according to plan. Federal government to the rescue. There will be no repeal. Just more taxes and less money for other functions of government. America is dying.

"And we wonder why the DHS is training with civilian targets."
The Rats will blame GOP Congressional obstructionism and Republican governors. They will then offer full government, single payer, health care to save the day and 2014 will be the battleground to see if the big lie and destruction of US health care will be a winning election strategy.

Single payer, then single provider since most private hospitals will be put out of business by that single payer.

My Aetna EPO plan for myself, wife and one child is $16,800 per year. That’s through my employer. Last year it was $11,000 and the year before that it was $8500. And now it is not 100% it is 90/10. I went for the “cheap” PPO; that’s only $8,000 a year and it’s 80/20.
Just gets better and better.
