Obamacare Increased Insurance Premiums

From investors.com -Leaving ObamaCare in place while striking its individual mandate isn't good enough. The full plan must be scrapped before it drives health premiums even higher. ObamaCare is wildly unpopular with Americans. Even a new CBS-New York Times poll finds two-thirds want it shot down. ...The cost of an average family premium shot up 9.5% in 2011 — the highest rate in seven years and three times the rate of overall inflation, finds a major new survey of employer plans by Kaiser Family Foundation.  Just before Obama signed his health overhaul, he vowed it would "bring down the cost of health care for families, for businesses and for the federal government." In December, he told CBS' "60 Minutes" he was "putting in place a system that's going to lower health care costs." In fact, there's evidence ObamaCare is fanning medical inflation. Kaiser attributes the premium spike to "changes from the new health reform law." The 200-page study explains: "Significant percentages of firms made changes in their preventive care benefits and enrolled adult children in their benefits plans in response to provisions in the new health reform law."  More News New Mexico

Many of us already knew about the deceitful process employed to jam this down our throats. Now the duped are learning about all the lies and misrepresentations contained in the law. We were promised we could keep our doctors. Then the president blamed others that, in fact, we CAN'T keep our doctors because, "...lawyers SNUCK in language that prohibits this...". We're now learning that the estimated costs were grossly underestimated. And finally, the American people are waking up to the tyrannical implications being argued in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. What notion you ask? The notion and premise that if this president and the federal government can constitutionally force us to buy an unwanted insurance product, under the guise that it economically benefits ALL, then this president and government can literally force us to do virtually ANYTHING under the pretense that it's economically better for ALL. This process was corrupt, the intent was corrupt and the facts dispensed to justify it's passage were corrupt.
