After surviving the Supreme Court challenge, President Obama’s signature healthcare law is likely headed for new depths of unpopularity. The so-called Affordable Care Act is about to get much less affordable for many Americans, with insurance companies looking to increase rates substantially next year. Many companies are applying for increases that exceed 20 percent. Some are topping out over 50 percent. And while the final decision lies with state regulators, the writing is on the wall.
According to the health insurance companies, their clients are much sicker than they expected. This is leading many of them to go back through the books and rearrange their rates so they can continue to make a profit. In at least one state – Oregon – rate increases of up to 33 percent have already been approved by the insurance commissioner. “Some may start wondering if insurance is affordable or if it’s worth the money,” said Jesse Ellis O’Brien, an Oregon health advocate.
Defending his law, President Obama said last week that it was up to the public to pressure state regulators to make sure these rate increases are necessary. “My expectation,” he said, “is that they’ll come in significantly lower than what’s being requested.”
He’s probably right, but that’s a stop-gap measure at best. It’s only good business for insurance companies to shoot for the moon and come back down to a negotiated middle ground. But what about next year? What about the year after that? Is there any doubt that the rates are going to skyrocket over the next five years? Someone who can just barely afford 2016’s premiums is going to be shut out of the system by 2017.
According to several studies, consumers have a chance at maintaining a decent premium if they are willing to switch plans and sometimes providers. But in many cases, this will also mean they will have to switch doctors or go without the services they currently enjoy. It’s a no-win situation. In the best case scenario, consumers will have to prepare to switch policies every November in an unending game of cat and mouse. Is that really what Obamacare has left us with?
Look, it’s impossible to drum up much sympathy for the struggling health insurance companies. But this isn’t about whether Blue Cross is making a satisfying profit. This is about what happens when the federal government gets too involved in the private marketplace. This is a federally subsidized program that can’t meet its creators’ expectations. How much longer will we support it before we decide we’re throwing good money after bad?
FOLKS it is important to understand that everyone running for President is a whore
for the New World Order. Trump is apart of them only he wants to see
America strong but will never do the things that need to be done like
abolishing the IRS, FEDERAL RESERVE WHICH WAS ALREADY ABOLISHED VIA
JFK’S EXECUTIVE ORDER 11110 WHICH IS STILL LEGAL AND IN EFFECT. Do
you think Donald would have the balls to use it? I don’t think so…. Would
he abolish the Act of 1871 an illegal act where by King George and his
whores in the 41st Congresses hid the Original Constitution and the
Original 13th Amendment from the American people illegally and
criminally create the USA CORPORATION and re Drafted/Re Wrote the
Constitution and FORCED the American people into a VATICAN and
BRITISH/Maritime Law, NWO Controlled Debt Fraud Slavery System without
the KNOWLEDGE and CONSENT of the American people? Do you think he has
the balls to do that? DO YOU MR. TRUMP? Would you re implement the GLASS
STEAGALL ACT IN ITS ENTIRETY….. Something Bill Clinton did as apart
of his dirty little deeds for the NWO as well as giving away to China
(an act of Treason) over 25 years of our Nuclear Techbologies! And
people sit daunted as to how the chinese have advanced so far in
Nuclear Technologies….. THANK YOU YOU SEDITIOUS TRAITOR BILL CLINTON!
Tell
me Donald Do you have the Balls to go into a Bunker with only the
small hand full of people you absolutely need and allow the Military to
carry out your orders to MASS Arrest USURPER Obama and all his Criminal
Associates in the White House Administration, Congress, The Senate,
Supreme Court Justices, Federal Judges, Govanors and Mayors, Leadership
of
all ABC Agencies throughout our National Security Apperattus including
the Joint CHEIFS who have also sold out their Nation, ALL OF OBAMAS
MILITARY REPLACEMENTS AND ALL WHORES FOR THE NWO INCLUDING MEMBERS OF
THE
BILDERBERGS, The Rothchilds, Rockefellers and round up Al Gore, George
Soros and Henery Kissinger? Do you have the Balls to do
what needs to be done to truely once and for all to take this Nation
back
from these Criminally Insane including Main Stream Media Mogals and
their Whores who have also provided criminal assistants? DO YOU HAVE
THE BALLS or will you keep the people locked into a “Bubble of Lies” and
keep them enslaved to this Illegally Created USA CORPORATION???? DO YOU
Have the BALLS to STOP this NWO AGENDA and their Depopulation Agenda,
and Agenda 21 in its TRACKS?
Do you Donald have the BALLS to ABOLISH the DHS (Obamas Hitler SS)
and force them AND ALL ABC Agencies to turn over all their weapons over
to the Department of Defense? For they are all “Waring Against the
Constitution” which is FORBIDDEN by their Sworn OathArticle 6 Section 3.
DO YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO SEAL OUR BORDERS AND WIPE OUT ALL 35 KNOWN
TERRORIST CAMPSINSIDE HERE INSIDE THE UNITED STATES and send them and all illegals
back home where they belong? Will you DERSTROY all Electronic Voting
Machines and return this nation back to the paper ballot?
DO YOU Donald Trumph HAVE THE BALLS TO SAVE THIS NATION AND TAKE IT BACK FROM
THE HANDS OF THESE CRIMINALLY INSANE FEW. iF YOU DO MY VOTE WILL BE FOR YOU…IF NOT
my vote will go to Ben Carson because out of all candidates running he
is the only one I know who is NOT a whore for the NWO…..you I am still not sure.
Globalist

We need to repeal the 17th Amendment.
Here’s a fellow who know what he’s talking about.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11110 is to do with issuing of silver certificates.
It is what the American Sheeple voted for and want! Amazing!
Yes, that’s correct. Happily for us all, President Sanders will institute “Single Payer”.
Gee, I’m so glad that everyone is happy!
Ecstatic, actually !
They thought they heard the word “free”.
When in Hell was it ever affordable?
Google “Two Minute Conservative” for clarity.
It never was and never will be. There is no constitutional authority for the Federal Government to stick its nose into healthcare and for good reasons. I checked the Two Minute Conservative. Thanks for posting .
It’s affordable until they run out of ‘other peoples’ money.
Fool me once….
If the (non) Affordable Care Act was any good, Obama wouldn’t have to lie about it.
Or the ‘False Prophet’ of Daniel 8:25, and Revelation 16:13? Shalom!
That’s Liar in Chief !

Excellent post.congrats.
A teacher friend was suppose to get over $1,000 tax refund. She only got about $70. Then she was notified that her insurance was going up by so much. She thought to divide the amount of the insurance increase into 12. Guess what? It was the exact amount of her tax refund that she not receive.
This Teacher greatly doubts your “Teacher Friend”. He or she must have signed a very lousy Contract last time. Tell this person that they need a new Negotiating Team.
If the health care is obligatory under penalty of law for failure to buy it and if premiums become so high that a family must choose between health care insurance premiums or some other necessity such as food, fuel or similar items, what will happen next? Clearly food or fuel and power trumps buying insurance, but then the next tax cycle will bring un-affordable “fines”. with government sucking out even more resources. The only winner in this mess is the insurance companies, who are guaranteed customers through government coercion . Interestingly, much of the “healthcare” law was written and compiled by executives from some of the biggest insurance companies. The question of conflict of interest surely raises it’s head.
Maybe there is a avenue via certitori to address conflict of interest as wrongful legislation and therefor illegal and unconstitutional as a RICO violation.
??? With this supreme court ?
The really big winner in Obamacare is the politicians and government bureaucrats. They will have 1/6th of the economy to play politics with and healthcare be damned.
As I understand it, all bills originate in the House Of Reprentatives, then pass to the senate for ratification then pass to the president to become law. Obama Care paperwork NEVER saw an appearance in the House, but was passed in a predominate Democrat controlled Senate. Like Nancy Pelosi said, “They had to pass it to find out what was in it.” I guess if it said “All Democrats must take a dose of cyanide after passing this bill”, They would be satisfied they had done their duty for O’Bummer.
“This is leading many of them to go back through the books and rearrange their rates so they can continue to make a profit”
If this obamacare is government mandated, should there be a profit consideration or simply a break even expectation?
Profit was guarrenteed to the insurance companies to get them to comply with the rediculous mandates of 0bamacare. Why would any company submit to anything that would cause them a net loss ?
If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor,if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance–all you Obaaama
supporters take that to the bank when you pay your insurance–
Private marketplace? I thought it was a public healthcare plan?
OLA! The hand is quicker than the eye.
We all need to provide medical insurance for Obama’s unlawful aliens invading us from Mexico, because the Damocraps want their votes. Shalom!
What will it all matter anyway? This nation is doomed. We are over run with stupidity and ignorance and you better just get ready for what is coming, cause it isn’t gonna be pretty and it won’t be nice.
That’s something we can give Trump credit for. He brought that issue to the forefront wether the liberal media liked it or not, and good for Trump.
Maybe you can explain something to me. Why do Jewish citizens of our nation vote for the Democrat Party? Maybe you could also give me the answer of why do the black citizens vote for the Democrat Party ? Is the reason ignorance ?
Why jews and blacks vote democrat: part I
Tuesday, Jan 21, 2003
The odds are that you have wondered at one time or another why the great majority of Jews and nearly all blacks vote Democrat. There are, after all, no other ethnic or racial groups that so overwhelmingly and consistently vote either Republican or Democrat. Moreover, given Jewish values and given blacks’ views on a host of important social issues, there is really no compelling reason for blacks and Jews to vote Democrat. Let us begin with the Jews. Judaism, like every great religion, is essentially conservative: Judaism demands obedience to a judging God and to a moral code set forth thousands of years ago. That is why the more orthodox a Jew is religiously, the less likely he is to be a liberal politically; and the more likely he is to vote Republican. Furthermore, the dominant Jewish issue, the security and survival of the Jewish state, is also unlikely to orient a Jew politically leftward. Even sociologically, Jews voting instinctively Democratic makes little sense. Jews, more than many, consider it shameful to rely on others for welfare, raise their children to believe in hard work, and benefit from a merit-based society. Indeed, even those Jews who vote Democratic usually lead rather conservative lives. As for blacks, their virtually unanimous voting for the Democratic Party makes even less sense.
For one thing, most blacks tend to have socially conservative views (considerably more so than their fellow Democrats). Blacks tend to be religious, have traditional views on homosexuality and abortion, and believe in school vouchers, a policy strongly opposed by the party nearly all of them vote for. Moreover, while the Democratic Party has brilliantly portrayed itself as the party that made civil rights possible, a greater percentage of Republicans voted for the landmark civil rights bills than Democrats. None of this is meant to suggest that there are no Democratic Party positions that appeal to blacks and Jews. The great majority of blacks apparently do support affirmative action, a position entirely identified with the Democratic Party. And the majority of Jews do support larger government and higher tax rates, fundamental Democratic positions. But if each party’s policy positions were the sole determinants of Jews’ and blacks’ voting habits, the two groups should evenly divide their votes between the two parties. Clearly then, it is not Democratic Party positions that explain why so many Jews and blacks vote Democrat. Something deeper must be at work.
That something is fear in the case of Jews and anger in the case of blacks. And both the Jews’ fears and the blacks’ anger are a result of their respective collective memories. The Jewish memory in question is of Christian anti-Semitism and the Nazi Holocaust. Even Jews who know little about either Jewish or Christian history know by high school age that for nearly 2,000 years, Jewish communities suffered from anti-Semitic persecution at the hands of Christians, that Christians massacred Jews during the Crusades, that there was a Spanish Inquisition, and that the Holocaust came from Nazism, a far-right doctrine. Because of this deeply ingrained memory associating Jewish suffering with Christianity and the far right, most Jews have a primal fear of Christianity (and even of religion generally, including Judaism) and of conservatives. Jews therefore vote for the party that opposes the party associated with anything even remotely connected with public religion or the right. The black memory in question is of white racism. It seems obvious that many African-Americans carry a residual anger against whites and against America as a result of centuries of slavery and racism. They therefore vote for the party most associated with policies (such as affirmative action) ostensibly designed to fight racism (meaning, always, white racism), and which frequently condemns alleged ongoing white racism. And blacks vote against the party they perceive as denying that America continues to be racist, the party that opposes race-based policies, and the party that celebrates America as if it isn’t a racist country.
The problem with these memories is not that they are inaccurate; it is that they are no longer accurate. And they therefore paralyze the two groups who hold onto these memories, Jews and blacks. In Part II, we will explain why these memories and perceptions are no longer accurate (and therefore paralyze blacks and Jews from clearly perceiving the present white, Christian and conservative realities), and what, if anything, Republicans, whites and Christians can do about these unfortunate perceptions. For these perceptions are ultimately bad for Jews, bad for blacks, and bad for America.
Best regards……..Joe T
Gotta love how Obama basically threatens the Supreme Court and attempts to dictate to businesses what to do, whether they’re losing money or not.
Common America, you were warned about this when it first appeared and now are paying the price. Do you think he cares about you. Stupid if you do
Might as well find another “issue”, folks. “The Plane” has left the Gate on this one. happily for you , it’s “The Law of The Land”.
Again, I am so glad that everyone is happy about this, except for us.
You should be extremely pleased, Art. What is your “understanding” of it , and why are you not pleased ? As a guy who taught the State Required Course that Prospective Life & Health Agents must pass before they can “sit” for their State Exam ( a Job Requirement for which was to “read and become familiar with” The Affordable Care Act, I’m probably “Your Huckleberry” for any questions you may have).
That is unless the republicans in both houses make good on their campaign promises to repeal obama care. Considering the lack of action one would derive the conclusion that republicans lied (imagine that!). If they are not going to repeal it then perhaps they need to put themselves under it also so they can, in the words of slick Willie Clinton, “feel youre pain.”
Given the amount of success that they have had with the “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs Legislation that they all campaigned on, I feel confident that The ACA is the “Law of the Land”.
I like your motivational plan.
People,all that has to be done is NO ONE BUY Obamacare insurance because it is now unaffordable.What are they going to do,put us ALL in jail?
The IRS automatically takes the fine out of your paycheck…………..
nope, from your refund
I was misinformed.
What happens if your refund is less than the penalty/fine for not buying obamacare????
The fine has increased!!!
Where do they take the money from?
They can bill you…….

The insurance companies may have been complicit in this, but they are not the ones to blame. This is the brain (or brainless?) child of Obama, Gruber one of the architects…who said the people are stupid and he planned to lie to them, House and Senate Democrats and Democrats only with not one single Republican vote. The increased numbers of people who became welfare recipients by having part of their premium subsidized by those who work are happy for their coverage. States which will have to raid more of their state budget to pay for more welfare recipients will not be happy.
People who lost their doctors and their plans are very unhappy. This article focuses on the marked increase in premiums…a direct lie from Obama, who promised a $2,500 yearly premium reduction per family.
“Single payer” will be like forcing everyone to eat generic food.
It would be very interesting to force Gruber to tour the country to personally meet the “stupid” people that he masterminded the lies told. Naturally he would need protection, but I think it would be educational for him to encounter the rage of those he screwed.

Section. 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.
I believe Obama’s current “immigration” policy to be “unconstitutional”, as is witnessed by the Constitution Of the United States of American, Article IV, Section 4:e

The expense solution is simple for Progressives, just go to the One Payer (Govt.)System, that was their plan from the beginning. With the fumbleing Republicans in D.C., it could just happen. Darn !, outmanuevered & outstategized by liars, racists, panderers
