Obamacare Premiums Soar for the 95% of American Who Don't Qualify for Subsidies




For most people, insurance premiums went up as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
 
If we look at premiums for the 95% of Americans who don't qualify for subsidies, men aged 30, on average, are paying +73% more than they did before the ACA went into effect. 

And women aged 63 are paying +38% more.

Young men are seeing the greatest increase, with those aged 23 now paying +78% more

And monthly premiums for family policies rose +
93.7%, from $378 for 2013 plans to $732 for 2014 plans.

The biggest factors leading to the increase are the fact that insurance must now cover new applicants even if they have preexisting illnesses, and the mandatory inclusion of several previously optional coverage items.

Top 5 Questions Regarding Health Care "Reform"

This weekend the U.S. Senate will vote on a 2,076 page monstrosity of a healthcare reform bill, which raises some questions:

1. Has any Senator had time to read this bill, which was drafted Pulitburo style, behind closed doors, out of sight of the American people and not posted for all to see?

2. How can gutting $490 billion out of Medicare over the next 10 years "make it stronger?"

3. How can insuring millions more without increasing the number doctors reduce costs, improve quality and increase access?

4. If healthcare is in such a crisis, why is Congress waiting four years for the "reforms" to take effect?

5. Is there any Constitutional authority for Congress to force (by fine and/or imprisonment) U.S. citizens to buy something they don't want?

Bonus Questions:

6. If this "reform" is so exceptional, why is Congress exempting itself from participation in its grand plan for the rest of us?

7. Doesn't Congress's refusal to participate in its own healthcare reforms tell us everything we need to know about the quality of the healthcare we expect from this reform?
