Yes, Those Shocking ObamaCare Rate Hikes Are For Real
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 08/27/2015 | Staff

Posted on 08/28/2015 4:16:05 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

When insurers requested huge rate hikes for their 2016 ObamaCare plans, we were told not to worry because state regulators would force them down. But that's not happening. Death spiral, anyone?

The clown posse was able to put this monstrosity into effect because so many Americans live in a fantasy and don’t seem to understand reality any longer, in short a huge percentage of Americans are just nuts. Those who have learned to look at things as they really are understood from the first that expecting the federal government to “reform” health care and accomplish positive results is like sleeping in a pig sty and expecting to come out smelling like a rose garden. It simply is not possible and the people who wrote this insanity KNEW THAT. The federal government has no more power to improve health care than I have to breathe underwater. They only have the power to destroy it. The only thing they can do of a positive nature is to simply get out of the way and they will never do that.

I don’t hear people talking about all the great things the feds are going to do or should do lately but when I have heard that in the past I have told them they are just dreaming.

Regular plan: Keep you premiums paid and they'll take care of a broken leg.

Bronx plan: Don't keep your premiums paid and you get a broken leg.

All according to plan. Only problem is it’s occurring a year ahead of schedule. Was intended to land on the next POTUS’ watch and force a debate on single payer.

Those actually paying are let loose from obligations to participate when it goes over 8%

Still not going to happen. The IRS will change the interpretation, Obama will issue an executive order, HHS will certainly comply, SCOTUS will review but that will be 3 years from now - take your pick of scenarios. I assure you, this Frankenstein will simply be given more electroshocks by Obama and Fed.gov to keep it alive.

The 8% number was written into it, so how do you say 8 is 12?
