Get ready to get ready as they say.

We told Ya so !!

The insurance companies will get super richer off this deal.

Insurers predict 100% to 400% Obamacare rate explosion


Internal cost estimates from 17 of the nation's largest insurance companies indicate that health insurance premiums will grow an average of 100 percent under Obamacare, and that some will soar more than 400 percent, crushing the administration's goal of affordability.

New regulations, policies, taxes, fees and mandates are the reason for the unexpected "rate shock," according to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which released a report Monday based on internal documents provided by the insurance companies. The 17 companies include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser Foundation.


Don't cry when you get the fat inflated "Premium" bill, or when YOUR employer says "sorry, your raise will be ZERO this time"


Oh...and have fun applying for one of those "Exchange" rates !!

You may not "Qualify" if you have a job.

Well people tried to spread the word that the Obamacare system was a mess and would be much more expensive.

Now they will understand what was being said and realise "they f**ked up".

Anyone who didn't see this coming had to have their head in the sand. The same thing happened when they started making auto insurance mandatory. The government assured us that it would create more competition in the market and the prices would lower but it had the complete opposite effect. Same thing with deregulating the telephone and electric companies- at first the companies competed by providing lower rates but very quickly they all started raising the rates to unprecedented amounts, and they did it simultaneously which showed they were in cahoots with it. Why should health insurance be any different especially when the law now requires you to purchase it? Nobody wins but the insurance companies!

Don't think they had any intention of making healthcare affordable.

They had every intention of screwing it up more so they can offer a 'solution' once again.

Which is what government does create a problem,complicate the hell out of it, blame someone else for it, and do it all over again.

The current administration owns Obama care, hence the name O-B-A-M-A care.

Well considering we had to 'pass the bill to see what's in it', Obamacare was virtually guaranteed to be a destructive, divisive and costly piece of crap. We got what we deserved when our elected leaders decided to pass a bill without reading it and certainly not understanding how it was going to work.

By DESIGN, folks! We said he was going to intentionally drive private insurance out of business so his was the only game in town!



Suckers!

By the way...THANKS!


Here’s how it will play out – 300% increase in premiums, 65% drop in insured (let’s face it…who can afford it at a 300% increase), insurances companies go under, everyone has to go to a new single-payer government system or pay uninsured fines that will continue to increase year after year.

That's what you voted for! You've gotta read the fine print, people!

It's like a thread full of conservatives! Imagine that!

I can't understand why there are no Obama voters ready to jump into this fire and put it out. It was SO RIGHT in 2012 leading up to the election. What happened??

What happened is there was an election so all this stuff was pushed back so they could have '4 more years'.

By all rights Obama should not even be Potus right now.

Making insurance mandatory CAN DO NOTHING BUT increase rates.
I don't mean to be rude, but if anyone is taken by surprise by this, they are an imbecile.

When car insurance became mandatory, rates increased by 67% across the board. This will be no different, except it will increase even MORE. Why? Because people who are "uninsurable" are likely to have bills that cost more than the price of a new car. In some cases, every year of their lives. Who absorbs the cost? Everyone else. It is how insurance works.

People irritate me.

I hope they don't crap bricks!

I'm sure the Government Medical Boards that decide who deserves treatment won't approve coverage for that rear end damage resulting from ignorantly consuming lies. I wouldn't cover it!

Cloward and Piven people!


The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward (1926–2001) and Frances Fox Piven (b. 1932) that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty". Cloward and Piven were a married couple who were both professors at the Columbia University School of Social Work. The strategy was formulated in a May 1966 article in liberal[1] magazine The Nation titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty"

Insurance will be come so expensive the only alternative the majority has will be government 'run' healthcare.

All by design.

This isn't new news.


Talk radio hosts have been saying this for more than three years.

The part that gets me scratching my head is all the cheerleaders saying this is going to save the day.

People need health insurance right? Let's let the government solve the problem. What could go wrong? And if you disagree, you hate the poor and want the uninsured to die. How insane is that? How can grown adults who are allowed to vote and breed accept this as gospel?

If this does not open ones eyes to the fact moneyed interests are writing these awesome "laws" for their benefit at the further expense of the American citizen, than nothing will.
