UNPRECEDENTED: Obama Forces Insurance Industry to Withhold 2015 Prices Until After Election
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/3/14 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 11/03/2014 8:44:30 PM PST by Nachum

For the first time in modern history, the Obama administration has forced insurance companies to withhold 2015 prices until after the election. So he can shield Democrats.

In the past, new prices were announced 60 days before the first day of the year. Not this year. Warner Todd Huston reported:

Barack Obama is again playing political games with our health insurance industry and has turned in another underhanded move against it by forcing insurance carriers, brokers and agents to withhold their 2015 prices until after the 2014 midterm elections are over all so that the news of higher prices won’t hurt Democrats on Election Day.

This means that customers looking to get new insurance or those wishing to scout new policies to see if they can get a better deal are not able to shop for insurance.

Before we get into that, though, millions of new cancellations will be hitting on January 1, 2015. Much of this news has gone under the radar as Democrats and their lapdog media are keeping this as quiet as possible.

Not true.

Most have made their 2015 benefit elections.

Health Insurance premiums are up 22% over 2014.

Prediction: Obamacare is going to turn much of the actual taxpaying part of the population into criminals when they can’t afford to pay the premiums and have been penalized to the extent that liens are placed against their properties and the Feds descend upon it like vultures. In fact, I predict that it will become a pattern of corruption when it is revealed to be intentional so that the feds can sell their homes and pocket the cash. The taxpayers will become criminals when they stand against the IRS to keep them from stealing it using the ACA.

How is he “forcing” these companies to postpone announcing the rates? Are they that afraid of him? Does he have a secret gestapo that we don’t know about?

First of all, I’ve read somewhere that less people have insurance now than before obamacare. Second, most who bought it can’t use it because the deductibles and copays are so high. And third, a poll was taken that shows 53% who bought insurance say they won’t renewe.
