The “Giddy” Is Gone… Obamacare Will Raise Rates 55% to 85% in Ohio

The Democratic-media complex was “just giddy” in March of last year to report that their nationalized health care bill would reduce the deficit by $138 billion.
It was a lie. Democrats knew it was a lie…
But, they rammed their bill through Congress anyway.

In May of last year the CBO corrected the numbers and said Obamacare will cost taxpayers at least $115 billion more than promised.
Republican Senators point out the deceit in their latest video:

Americans are right to be concerned about our country’s enormous debt, especially given the Congressional Budget Office’s recent announcement that the health care bill will not in fact provide the deficit reductions the president promised. Republicans are committed to addressing Americans’ concerns with fiscally responsible policies that will create jobs, grow the economy, and reduce our nations deficit.

Now there’s this…
Obamacare will jack up premiums 55% to 85%.
Maggie’s Farm reported:

Although the percentage of residents with coverage could rise by about 7.9%, the price of individual health insurance coverage might rise about 55% to 85%, excluding the impact of medical inflation, the Milliman consultants predict.

“This is primarily driven by the estimated health status of the new individual health insurance market and the expansion of covered benefits,” the consultants say.

The new tax credits are supposed to help individuals earning less than 400% of the federal poverty level pay for coverage, but U.S. residents with incomes over 400% of the federal poverty level who are in the individual market would have to pay for the coverage out of their own pockets.

We will likely see similar numbers in other states.
Thank you, ~~democrats~~ crooks.

As long as somebody other than the consumer pays for it, of course the costs can only go up.
Even pet care is going to cost lots more, if enough people buy insurance for their puppies and kitties. Insurance company paying? Prices soaring. Government paying? Money is no object.

JDF, Medicare has a 3% overhead. Private ins. co’s. have a 15-30% overhead. (for starters)

Are you saying the VA Healthcare should be abolished?

orick… if private insurance companies could pay just for the medical care of their customers instead of paying for the medical care of all the people that get it for “free” from the politicans their rates would drop dramatically.

If the government would had investigated the fraud that the medical professionals were over billing our health care would not had been needed to change. No …because this was planned for years.

I had a doctor and a hospital try and double bill me. Get this the fist bills were paid by my insurance carrier and my share. All paid in full! Well one year later the doctor and hospital tried to double bill me! I love being organized and I file every thing and make copies if need be. It threw the doctor and hospital when I was able to prove that their records were wrong and mine were right. People staple a copy of you medical bill to prove they were paid because I can promise you that some of you have already experienced the same thing.

We have had the same experience, with every major medical expense. You pay your part of the bill, and get another bill in a year.

Every Stinking Senator who voted for this POS bill should have to take the Stand and be asked if they Did or Did Not read the bill. If not, their vote should not count. That will wipe out over 3/4 of the Votes. Absolutely disgusting this Administration.

The government estimated that the cost of Medicare would be 10% of its actual costs back in 1967. The American people are too stupid to believe it is going bankrupt and that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. If you want to see socialized medicine look at Canada. A nation whose leaders come to the US for healthcare. We’re doomed.

My COBRA payment went from $550 (this is for just me) to $629 a month. I’m on dialysis so I HAVE to have insurance. Medicare (that is, you) pays only 80% of the price – they (that is, you) shelled out $38,000 for Jan-March of this year.

Obamacare was just the first step — the Progressive’s real goal is a complete Government take-over of the entire health care system.

Freddy commented:

In the near future, Obamacare premiums will be LARGER than most peoples paychecks.

This will REQUIRE the federal government to confiscate ALL personal income and redistribute it to whom it sees fit to balance the needs of the MANDATORY medical system.

Obama, and the Democrats, have the simple goal of making slaves of all but the political elite!
