Oh, look! Democrat talking-points were wrong again.
Health insurance premiums have risen more after Obamacare than the average premium increases over the eight years before it became law, according to the private health exchange eHealthInsurance.
The individual market for health insurance has seen premiums rise by 39 percent since February 2013, eHealth reports.
Premiums under ObamaCare in one year rise faster than the previous eight combined. Democrats at work!
The report points out that folks up to 400% of the Federal poverty level could get subsidies that would lower their premiums, but that just means the government has to suck more money out of the productive parts of the economy to pay the difference. (Or drive up inflation by printing it.)
And then there are the soaring deductibles which act as another unaffordable burden created by meddling Democrats.
One more point. As the perps croon about reaching 5 million ‘sign ups’ keep in mind that no one really knows how many of those have coverage, have even paid for coverage, and that after the massive shake-up of the health care marketplace, those 5 million have to be subtracted from the more than 6 million who lost their plans because of ObamaCare. Six million – five million = One million fewer insured.
Higher Premiums, Higher Deductibles, Higher Taxes, Less Access, And a Million more uninsured. That’s the Democrat Party!
