A new report shows that Obamacare premiums are actually rising three times faster that than government reports claim.
Apparently the government’s as bad at math as they are at healthcare.

The idea behind Obamacare was to have a government enforced “free market” and the cost would rise out of control. That is why they are using current health insurance companies so they can say “Hey we may have mandated the coverage but these corporations are the ones charging you these outrageous premiums.” So we will reach the point where the below will happen:
1. Premiums will rise to the point where Government will step in and enforce price controls and to make the premiums artifically low. This will cause some carriers to just drop coverage all together.
2. The remaining carriers will force Congress to pass legislation to allow them to increase premiums to cover the cost of what they provide. This will cause a huge spike in premiums.
3. Voters will scream to Congress about the jump in premiums and since they have to have insurance by law will demand that the premiums be decreased or demand that the greedy carriers be punished.
4. Government will say, “Well we tried to let private carriers do this. They can’t. The American people demand action so we will set up a Federal Insurance Company so folks can have affordable heathcare and fund it with a surcharge to anyone who gets a private policy.”
5. Single payer health insurance is born as folks just opt into the FIC to avoid paying a fine for not having coverage or paying a fine for having coverage outside the system.
This is the goal of Obamacare from the start. Make the whole thing such a mess that people will beg for the government to just take the whole thing over.
@1: Yep, saw this one coming a mile away.
When you’re an Obama voter and you get a “subsidy” (aka welfare) to pay for it, wtf do you care how high they go, it ain’t your money.
Even the stated 20% increase is underestimated. From my recent searches it’s closer to 50%. Which is exactly what the far left want.
B-But it’s free!
You see, folks, Democrats rely on the “drip-drip-drip” ssystem, to dilute bad news and erode good mena and institutions.
Huge deductible increases, too.
It’s only money, you don’t really need that much of it when people are suffering, do you?
