...Individuals in most states will end up spending more on the exchanges. It is true that in some states, the experience could be the opposite. This is because those states had already over-regulated insurance markets that led to sharply higher premiums through adverse selection, as is the case of New York. Many states, however, double or nearly triple premiums for young adults. Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, and Vermont see some of the largest increases in premiums.
...The Obama Administration is desperate for younger people to enroll to prevent an adverse selection death spiral.
...Our findings confirm that younger populations see larger percentage increases in premiums. A state that exhibits this clearly is Vermont, where the increase for 27-year-olds is 144 percent and the increase for 50-year-olds is still 60 percent, but far less. All states exhibit this relationship.
Charles C. W. Cooke helpfully summarized the litany of (quite obvious) lies the President and his sycophants told Americans in order to jam Obamacare through Congress.
• “If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health-care plan, you will be able to keep your health-care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.”
• "If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is the amount of money you will spend on premiums. That will be less.”
• "I want to be very clear: I will not sign on to any health plan that adds to our deficits over the next decade."
• "Health care reform will cut the cost of a typical family's premium by up to $2,500 a year."
Every major promise regarding Obamacare was a lie.
As Scott Johnson astutely observes, "If only we had a free press, Obamacare would be a bloody, unrelenting scandal, like Abu Ghraib, or Watergate. As it is, it is only business as usual for liberals and liberalism.."

Make no mistake, the liberal main stream media is a collective enemy of this nation. These people are not true Americans, but rather leftist activists who are trying their best to promote their socialist agenda.
ReplyDeleteThese are people who put on their applications that their profession is that of a journalist, while they are nothing of the sort. They are indoctrinationists at best, and traitors wholeheartedly. They are the scum of the Earth if you want to put a name on it.
Mike, you are correct.
