Health law likely to send premiums through roof, state says

A new report projects that the cost of health-insurance premiums in Ohio could increase by as much as 150 percent — or drop by 40 percent — in 2014, when key provisions of the new federal health-care law kick in.

The analysis was commissioned by the Ohio Department of Insurance to determine how the Affordable Care Act would affect premiums. It found that Ohioans who buy individual policies would have their costs rise the most. Rates also are expected to increase for those with employer-sponsored coverage, but not nearly as much.

“While ‘Obamacare’ supporters may argue these changes are necessary to ensure access, the results mean even more financial burden on the backs of taxpayers,” Taylor said in a statement.

“This report clearly shows what I have long predicted: Obamacare will result in bigger government, unsustainable costs and ultimately, less consumer choice.”

Mine have gone up about 1/3 in the last two years. Got the last increase last month. We now pay more in health insurance (bare-bones catastrophic)than we do on our mortgage.

The insurance companies are in cahoots with the doctors. It should ALL be run by the government so it will be fair. (That IS what obama wants us to think you know. And I imagine about half of the folks already think that.)

For some reason there is an exemption for medical sharing programs.

Your answer, is EXACTLY why the people of this nation had better start remembering what country they live in, and WHY it is so detrimental TO remember.
