Healthy young women will see their premiums rise by an average of almost 200 percent under Obamacare, with increases occurring in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to a new study.
Earlier this month, the American Action Forum released an analysis that found the average 30-year-old male nonsmoker would see his premiums rise 260 percent.
Using the same metrics, the organization found that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would be just as harsh on women trying to purchase bronze level plans, the cheapest insurance available in the marketplace.
“All 50 states and the District of Columbia saw insurance rate increases, with 42 of those states experiencing triple digit percentage increases in premiums for the lowest-priced coverage,” the study said. “Pre-ACA premiums for a 30-year-old nonsmoking woman average $74.49 monthly, while post-ACA premiums average $188.72 per month, a $114.23, or 153 percent, increase.”
Overall, states averaged a 193 percent increase in premiums for 30-year-old female nonsmokers.

“I don’t even know if they are required to take Econ 101 anymore...”
Shoot...they can’t even balance a checkbook.
Of course, if I could print money, I’d probably never balance MY checkbook again, either.
...and they will believe it too! So sad!
I hope everyone who is a Democrat who voted for Obama gets hosed by Obamacare!
I feel the same way as you. We somehow want them to regret their decision. Unfortunately, they are so ignorant that they won't even connect Obama to this debacle. The media will see to that. Ultimately, it will be the 'evil' insurance companies, 'greedy' doctors, 'obstructionist' republicans, etc., that will be blamed for ruining a perfectly good program. Obama himself will lead the charge. It will be the ultimate example of the "Limbaugh Theorum".
The choice was to either get hosed by ObamaCare or hosed by RomneyCare.
Romney said Obamacare was a state issue that the federal government was to stay out of. I believe him.
It was never a threat from Romney. I wish he had won. We would be way off.
You anti-Romney people are getting tiresome.
Yes, “because Republicans tried to de-fund Obamacare, the website now does work at all”.
possibly, but not conclusive
the “poverty level” is a bullshit relativistic term
the “poverty level” is a bullshit relativistic term
It surely is
and is only used to get more people getting OUR money
Hard to come to a scientific conclusion when no one bothers to even do a study on it.
