CT health insurance hikes up to 47%

“The state’s largest insurer has been approved to raise health premium rates by 41 percent to 47...”

Sounds like the company does not know how to price itself to me.

..."B-b-b-b-but President said our insurance costs would go down if we passed his reform bill.

B-b-b-b-but we didn't pass it, THEY passed it, whether we wanted it or not!

Then THEY read the bill...

[Steely Tom]

Here's an idea for you, Connecticut...

O.K., Linda McMahon, here is your October Surprise. You need to use this against your entrenched, lifelong-Democreat-politician, opponent.

Our local union here in CT uses Anthem and I got a letter a few weeks ago about the increase. This was right after Hussain cut out the COBRA subsidies for the unemployed. I promptly threw the letter in the garbage but it was along the lines of ... although the President was able to pass comprehensive health care reform for all Americans, the delay in passing it and the compromises he had to make we weren't able to stop this increase .... blah ...blah...blah

It was a total B.S. letter absolving Hussain's 0bamacare of any blame. I feel bad for most of the rank and file since many have been union members since high school and believe what the leadership tells them.

O.K., my bad. I know that I misspelled “Democrat” in Post #5. It was a typo; I know how to spell.

[NautiNurse]

Yowser!

[Graybeard58]

Anyone who believed this charlatan when he said Republicans were lying about the effects of this bill deserves whatever they get from Obamacare.

But it effects everybody, believers and non believers alike.

Thanks Barack!

Yes

Yes

Absolutely what I was thinking

She absolutely positively must use this.

How can she possibly lose with something like this available for her to use?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks American Dream 246.

[genghis]

i bet linda is all over this.
she has run a decent campaign and this is a great opportunity that will not go to waste.

We were just notified that our long term health insurance cost would go up by about 40%. I don’t believe we can afford it and we’re in better shape then most people. The stuff is hitting the fan.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

I have a copy of the 2011 Health Insurance program sent out by the Chevron Corporation.

On page 23 it states:

“”On average yuor cost increase will be between 24% and 32% for 2011””

I suspect most other corporations are sending out the same “good” news to their employees this month.

These increases are due to ObamaCare for such things as forcing the corporations to insure 26 year old children of their employees.

If the voters are so dumb to keep the Democrats, then I guess we deserve to go into bankruptcy as Obama is leading us to that end.

[denydenydeny]

Suckers.

Sometimes I think the Obama phenomenon can be best explained but studying not Alinsky or Marx or Fanon...but P.T. Barnum.

How? She's running in Connecticut, a State that has more "Kool Aid Democrats" than Joan Rivers has had face lifts.

[Tzimisce]

Hope and Change comes to CT.

And CT continues to vote liberal Democrat. :(:(:(
