The anchors of CBS This Morning expressed bewilderment on Tuesday at the sharp premium hikes in Obamacare insurance plans, with one asking for an understanding for “why this is happening.”
When Obamacare open enrollment begins in 2017, the cost of mid-level plans will rise by an average of 25 percent in the 39 states served by the federal online exchanges. In addition, major providers like Humana, UnitedHealth, and Aetna have scaled back or dropped out of the Obamacare exchanges, leaving roughly 20 percent of consumers with only one insurer to choose from.
After Charlie Rose read out the report, Norah O’Donnell said, “We need a bigger understanding of why this is happening.”
“We sure do,” Rose said.

Is the media stupid enough to read and believe their own lies?
It never had a chance to be self-sufficient. It has been draining social security and medicare funds from the beginning and has put those funds into jeopardy. A number of major companies are bailing and there is going to be a jump in premiums, in some places as much as an estimated 125%.
And the idiot media knows this. They are running for cover by playing ignorance of the problems so they won’t look as stupid or dishonest by getting caught in their all out supporting of the libs agenda and efforts for power and money.

You mean the brilliant healthcare Harvard specialists and our brilliant Harvard trained President are actually incompetent?

Obama lied. People died.
Maybe she needs to learn how to use a web browser and do a web search. I think Community colleges offer non credit courses to teach computer skills. It is laughable that a news organization doesn't know what is going on with ACA.
“with one asking for an understanding for “why this is happening.””
Because Obama the Fraudster timed it so the biggest increases would happen as he was leaving office, so someone else could get the blame.
“But wait, didn’t we explain this BEFORE this crap was passed!!!!”
No. If you’ll remember, it was speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi that said we had to pass it and make it into law before we could figure out what was in it. The public knew almost nothing of what the law contained until it was in. Unfortunately, neither did congress.

Yeah but chronic druggies and bum chums get to go in front of the line for unlimited treatment. What’s not to like about that if you are a stoner or just like emptying your stones into the most unsanitary place in someone else’s bunghole.
That 25% is bogus. It is far to low but the corrupt media has to lie for their fellow democrats.
Pennsylvania obamacare - almost double the cost!

For example, the lowest price silver plan available in Harrisburg region counties will cost $345 per month for a 21-year-old non-smoker. The same plan, sold by Geisinger Health Plan, cost $193 per month in 2016.
Minnesota: 59% premium increase
Arizona: 116%
Oklahoma: 76%
They really are that ignorant....
“The left is already blaming the Republicans for not working with them to “fix” Obamacare.”
Well...the pubbies didn’t ‘work with them’ to pass this piece of legislative effluent. They crowed about owning it, when it was passed. Let them own it now.
These assholes need to read a nd listen to the “news.” These hikes were predicted over a year ago with corresponding explanation as to the reason why.
Looks like it is true. They REALLY are a bunch of uneducated dingbats.
This is great! Thank you.
Reality happened!
Those lousy actors feign surprise. They have the script and they know exactly what is happening. They should all be shoved up against the wall as soon as the next revolution starts.
“What was to read? The whole point was the break the system, so as to bring about Single-Payer”
Just like Social Security the Affordable Healthcare Act is merely another pot of money that Congress can dip into that Congress has complete access to, funding of any program or project. A backdoor enterprise, a boost of cash. This is completely unacceptable.
