Obamacare’s “benefits” raising insurance plan costs
Comment: all this extra stuff isn’t free, folks. Even if you get the government welfare subsidies, someone pays that. Even with no subsidy, if your premium went down, it’s because lots more people are now paying higher premiums to cover your policy.
“The Affordable Care Act was supposed to make health care more affordable, but a study of insurance policies before and after Obamacare shows that average premiums have skyrocketed, for some groups by as much as 78 percent.”
“Average insurance premiums in the sought-after 23-year-old demographic rose most dramatically, with men in that age group seeing an average 78.2 percent price increase before factoring in government subsidies, and women having their premiums rise 44.9 percent, according to a report by HealthPocket scheduled for release Wednesday.“
