Johnston says under the law anyone who has to pay more than 9.5 percent of their income for health insurance is exempt from having to purchase it. Not since Obama re-wrote the law from the WH and waived that cap for another year.

According to the CT website, my $6,350 deductible and almost $300/month premium is much more affordable. /s

That's of little consolation to a Novato woman who sent us her notice from Kaiser showing a premium increase of 106 percent. She too does not qualify for subsidies.

Anyone who found an increase in their premiums “unexpected”, I recommend that they join Free Republic.

Some?! Show me any that are going down, or, even, staying the same. The Shut Up and Die Act require so many covered items, that, it is not possible to make the pool small enough that it is affordable.

They won’t get it, but this is the inevitable point in every useful idiot’s life when it is revealed they were just a means to give someone else power. It is a little late for refunds.

She's just sad because she's getting soaked when she thought it was only the RICH !

Obamacare was sold to help the 30 million uninsured.
The 300 million with insurance are now getting the bill and the rocks in their head are exploding.

Sky is blue.
God is love.
Mathematics has neither malice nor mercy.
If this wasn't the most predictable observation ever, read the last paragraph, in which the alleged journalist notes that most people won't see any increases because their premiums are paid by their employers.
No dumbasses, they aren't.
Increased premiums are paid by you in the form of reduced salaries, reductions in other benefits, and demands for increased productivity. At some point the employer next has to either reduce headcount, or reduce hours of certain employees under 30 hrs/wk, and send them off on their own.
I'll make a more certain prediction: every moron in this article will be crying and screaming inside of six months that the real problem with 0-care is that it doesn't go far enough.

I’ve said this before: Hard to believe, but many Democrats are getting re-signed at work, dealing with next years budget for health care for employees, and so on...they are NOT going to be happy, either.
This thing will blow up on its own, without any help from Republicans.

” most people won’t see any increases because their premiums are paid by their employers.”
This outrageous lie won’t fly even in San Fransisco.
