The Fiscal Times ^ | April 21, 2016 | Eric Pianin

Amid rising drug and health care costs and roiling market dynamics, the spokesperson for the nation’s health insurers is predicting substantial increases next year in Obamacare premiums and related costs.

Without venturing a specific percentage increase, Marilyn Tavenner, the president and CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), said in an interview with Morning Consult that the culmination of market shifts and rising health care costs will force stark increases in health insurance rates in the coming year.

Thank you John Roberts for letting the federal government force people to buy a product or be punished.

there are so many issues but this issue is another great reason why this country cannot afford to allow the hag into the WH.

I think the next Republican President should leave it in place for a year or so before getting rid of it. Voters get what they asked for(and deserve).

I think the next republican president should leave it in place for a year or so for everyone only that voted for Obama and a decade if you voted for him the second time.

We go our pricing for July17-June 18.

Only 13% I feel lucky...

2,600 deductible and Monthly premiums of 670.00

The very first thing that needs to be done is force EVERY member of Congress and their staff and every member of the Administration
to sign up to Obamacare.

I’d be scrapped in less than a year!

I didn’t read past the name Marilyn B. Tavenner...It rang a bell and this is why! They just keep that old revolving door well oiled, don’t they?

“”Marilyn B. Tavenner (born May 31, 1951)[1] is the former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. She became Acting Administrator following the resignation of Dr. Donald M. Berwick in December 2011, after serving as the agency’s Principal Deputy Administrator.””

While you are waiting for a reply thought I’d just mention...

There are Christian ministries that offer health care coverage for a more reasonable rate. Just google “Christian Healthcare Ministries,” “Samaritan Ministries,” and “Medi-Share.”

Happy to.

The following are all exempt from the Obamacare tax penalty:

http://www.chministries.org/

http://samaritanministries.org/

https://mychristiancare.org/medi-share/medi-share.aspx

https://www.libertyhealthshare.org/

We are members of the first link, Christian Healthcare Ministry.

The top three pretty much requite that you are a member of a church and attend fairly regularly.

The last link, Liberty, is more lax on the church attendance...

Have we used it?

Yes. $8,000 of medical bills, our out of pocket was $390 when it was all finished.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!
