Premiums will skyrocket next year! Premiums will be lower than expected! Premiums will be about the same!
Consumers are understandably confused after weeks of conflicting pronouncements about the expected cost of plans, for individuals and small groups, to be sold in new online insurance marketplaces under the federal health law beginning Oct. 1.
New York regulators said average premiums on those plans will be half of what they cost now, while Indiana warned of an average 72 percent increase. Florida's insurance officials projected 30 to 40 rate increases, while the White House trumpeted a report saying that rates in 10 states and the District of Columbia will average 18 percent less than forecast.
How is a consumer to make sense of this?

“New York regulators said average premiums on those plans will be half of what they cost now”
Yeah, bullsh**.
When the rates were projected to double, any reduction is considered a great victory worthy of noisy and sustained celebration!
There will be increases in 50 states. Premiums will go up between 20% and 80%. States like California and New York, who will lose insurance companies will wind up with heavily subsidized tax dollars.
By 2016, the Democrat platform will be the Republican congress destroyed health care and that we need to go single payer.
Hillary, plase pick up the white courtesy phone.
Those numbers were generated before Bloomer's big drink ban was overturned....
It is unethical for this reporter, an employee of Kaiser, not to include a sentence, “Kaiser, which spent $X.00 million lobbying for and shaping the legislation, expects to gain $ Y.00 billion from its implementation.”
0bama will be repudiated as will the “health plan” he shoved down America’s throat without a SINGLE republican vote.
Maybe not this fall. Maybe not next. But we will undo 0bama’s damage.
From what I can see it appears that (1) hard working, productive, tax paying American’s will see large increases in their healthcare premiums, while (2) those who contribute nothing to society and milk the system will gain healthcare at little or no cost.
feel free to comment on the paper’s comment section. it seems any opposing views are taken down rather quickly.
I have a very hard time accepting most anything coming out of a Kaiser HMO newsletter!!!
I meant the Pioneer Press paper website.
“From what I can see it appears that (1) hard working, productive, tax paying American’s will see large increases in their healthcare premiums, while (2) those who contribute nothing to society and milk the system will gain healthcare at little or no cost.”
Correct. That’s mostly what Obamacare was all about in the first place. Just another Marxist redistribution scheme. Take medical care away from those of us who have WORKED hard all our lives for those benefits and GIVE it to the moocher/leech class, to add to their free food, free ObamaPhones, and free Section 8 housing.
