Insurance companies, faced with new Obamacare fees and taxes meant to help fund the law, are planning to pass along the added costs to consumers.

That's why they call it affordable.

Surprise. Corporations don’t pay taxes. The end user/consumer does.

nothing more than ‘legalized’ extortion.

The whole damn gubamint ought to be brought up on RICO and dereliction of duty charges.

Things like this don’t happen unless crooks and thieves are allowed their way.

No. Seriously. There really is such a thing as a free lunch. Just send me $100 and I’ll tell you how to get a free lunch.

Anyone who is surprised by a “hidden tax” in a government program is probably mentally retarded.

I got a notice in December that effective Feb 1 my insurance would be about $35 higher because of this. I am up to a $477 premium for catastrophic coverage, $5,000 deductible, no doctor visits, no prescriptions, no nothing, unless I end up admitted to a hospital. I don’t know if I can cancel and go on the dole, but this has become nowhere near affordable for me.

...and is assessed to each company based on its share of annual premiums collected by the entire industry...

How utterly Marxist.

Remember Obama pledging that people making under $250,000 would not pay one dime in additional taxes....another lie.

Proponents also point out that the taxes help fund the subsidies provided to consumers under the law, which help make plans more affordable.

Huh? Only in Washington-speak does spending MORE on something make it more affordable.

I guess the tax payers aren't the same as consumers, or something. What a clear admission of wealth redistribution.

I've had insurance coverage for years, through my employer.

My policy changed this year, because of Obamacare.

It's now more expensive and provides lesser coverage.

I knew it was going to happen.

There's no surprise here to anyone who was paying attention and didn't believe the lies.

Obamacare can be likened to a vicious case of Herpes...

Just when you think you have it under control and MAYBE it won’t get worse, it flares up and causes more pain & agony...
