Heres more good news for ya Will.

http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/abc...care_premiums/

ABC News says that Alexander is right and Obama is wrong:
...the CBO analysis does say, flatly, that “the average premium per person covered (including dependents) for new nongroup policies would be about 10 percent to 13 percent higher in 2016 than the average premium for nongroup coverage in that same year under current law.”
Why are premiums going up? CBO cites the combination of three factors:
* Premiums would be 27-30% higher because coverage would be better. The law, for example, requires that all policies cover maternity care, prescription drugs, mental health & substance abuse and no denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions.
* Premiums would be 7 to 10 percent lower b/c of changes to the way the individual market is structured.
* Premiums would be 7 to 10 percent lower b/c of an influx of more people, many of them healthy, into the insurance market.
The net effect of those three factors: Premiums would be 10 to 13 percent higher for the average policyholders.
President Obama’s claim of premium reductions of “14 to 20 percent” comes from adding factors two and three. The problem: You can’t ignore factor one.
And let’s not forget that Democrats want big new taxes on insurance policies of the so-called “Cadillac” variety. Democrats would like us to believe that this would only impact the insurance policies of “the rich.” But you don’t have to be rich to have a “Cadillac” insurance policy, and the impact of those taxes on policies in general will be passed on to the policy holders.
That’s something the CBO didn’t account for.




By all means, lets ram it through.

Everyone except a very few here knows that insurance premiums will rise. The people who don't have insurance today don't want to pay for it.
