Michiganders should expect to pay more for Obamacare next year

The cost of Obamacare health insurance plans will likely rise next year in Michigan.

272,000 Michiganders signed up for health insurance using the marketplace created by the Affordable Care Act. They will be paying more for those plans if proposed rate increases released this week are approved by state and federal regulators.

Josh Fangmeier is a health policy analyst with the Center for Healthcare Research and Transformation at the University of Michigan.

He says he wasn’t surprised to see Blue Cross/Blue Shield proposing rate increases of 9.3% to 9.7% on their Obamacare health plans.

Is Obama going to read this in the news media, & be shocked and outraged on TV?

Were deductibles figured in? It would seem to me that they are much higher than “normal” health insurance plans.

Not sure, but realize most corporate plans are rapidly transitioning to high deductibles also, as the cost of “health care” balloons.

It’s worth it just to have such a cool black dude as president.

It’s not just Michigan. There are 56 other states he’ll jack up prices on, too.

Actually it is “cool semi-black dude” as mothers side was white Progressive trash.

Unexpectedly of course! OH, and the article reminds us that it would have been much worse if it weren’t for O-care!

Utopia is here! Enjoy.
