HMSA individual plan ratepayers are receiving “Happy 2014” letters from HMSA this holiday season. The letters, dated December 27, 2013 and signed by Elena Kambitisi, HMSA Senior Vice President for Consumer Strategy, outline new rates effective February 1, 2014. . . .

Impeach Obama in 2014. Period.
The US House of Representatives is analogous to a Police Force - - - they “arrest” the perp by Impeaching the perp.
The US Senate is analogous to a Jury of Peers who have the power to throw the Impeached perp off of the taxpayer gravy train, take away his residence, ban him from building a Library paid for by us, and ban him from using his personal Corporate Jet, Air Force One.
Most RINO Americans want to wait, Wait, WAIT! until they control the House, the Senate and the White House.
To those weak-kneeded summer soldier “patriots” I say “Enjoy the Obamanation that you have tolerated since January, 2009.”
Thus, we Summer Soldier Conservatives continue to tolerate a wimpy, hand-wringing, sobbing crybaby Speaker of the House Boehner as our sorry chief policeman.
“Oh, if only my best friends across the aisle would just play nicey nice - - - “ is the perfect quote that fire-in-the-belly Socialist-Democrats love to hear from their doormat, cowardly, Obamacrat RINOs.
Yes indeed, as long as we WAIT for things to be PERFECT we will never attack those whose goal is to destroy the US Constitution.
Suck it up you sorry House RINOs, and replace John “Benghazi Coverup” Boehner with SC Rep Trey Gowdey, or SC Rep Joe Wilson.
Without a fire-in-the-belly Republican Speaker of the House, Obamacrat RINOs will continue to cave in to “their best friends across the aisle,” to the unbridled glee of every Democrat voter in America!
Pretend that you are fighting to enforce the US Constitution, House RINOs.
Fight or go home, House RINOs.
FIGHT or we will send you home!
Impeach Obama in 2014. Period.
1) The public blames the "greedy" insurance companies for the rate increases.
2) Insurance companies lose customers and are forced to leave the market.
3) Single-payer swoops in to save the day.
Only something went wrong with part 1) - the public has been blaming the Obama Administration, instead. And they are in a panic trying to change the narrative.
This is just some policies. My HMSA family policy annual premium has jumped from $19,000 to $27,000 in the 3 years since Obamacare passed, and I am already also looking at the Cadillac Tax once that takes effect.
Just to clarify, here a link to their premium tables.

So yes, you could conceivably wind up paying $1700/month, in certain instances.
That BTW is more than I pay each month for housing...I’m pretty sure I’d be telling them to honk on bobo.
Perhaps the end game was to default into a single payer system knowing that the current ACA would not work.
If voter fraud is as bad as I suspect it is, they well may go home.
In 09 I said;
We have just had a bloodless Coup d'état and no one noticed.
Amen to that...
I wonder...
can you still get a NORMAL insurance policy that doesn’t meet Obama’s so-called “standards”?
It would probably be cheaper to get a “substandard” policy and pay the fine
than it would be to pay for an “approved” policy.
I’m not sure about any other plans ‘B but I asked the insurance outfit, (provided me through a trust set up for for retired ex-employees), providing my health care plan/policy , that/your question and the answer was no. My long time monthly premium of $460.00 jumped to $565.00. The reason given for that increase was that the ‘lifetime’ limit was raised, (the limit raise was forced upon them to comply with the new ACA ), from a $500 Thousand previous amount to now unlimited $$$ for major hospital operations, surgery, ICU stays etc. My co-insurance stayed at 90% they/10% me. The deductible stayed at $200.00 a year for office visits and prescriptions etc. Overall, I think I got off okay, (especially the deductible staying at just $200.00 a year), with just a $105.00 premium increase per month but that unlimited $$$ deal might come in VERY handy some day soon. Knock on wood....
“4.4 percentage points of the 7.5 percent increase for individual plans are to cover ACA-related costs. For small-business policies, 3.9 percentage points of the 6.8 percent increase is related to ACA costs....”
7.5 percent increase
6.8 percent increase
3.1 percent increase anyway, without the ExtortionAct.
They lobbied for it.
