BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Alabama health insurance providers who offer plans on the ObamaCare exchange are seeking significant price increases this year, after healthcare costs took a sharp upward turn.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama is reportedly requesting an average of a 28 percent increase for its individual plans, as well as a 73 percent increase for its platinum plan. Small group plans could also increase by nearly 14 percent.

UnitedHealthcare is seeking a 24.5 percent increase for its 2016 rates.

Obama has 524 more days in office.

Imagine how much more damage this madman can accomplish.

As with most words in the title of a piece of, uh, legislation, “Affordable” is a cruel joke.

The GOP told us repeatedly they would fix this Barrycare debacle once they controlled congress.

I’m still waiting...

We, the people, voted the Democrats out so that this could be overturned. As soon as election day was over, the GOP Leadership immediately started walking back their promises.

It is hard to put into words the utter contempt and disdain I have for the GOP “leadership”.

He has set all kinds of traps for us that will spring just as or after he leaves office. I take it he will leave the country.

Ain’t gonna happen. The answer may lie in their stock portfolios.

It’s not hard to put it into words, just the words we would use would get us banned.
