The largest health insurer in Texas wants to raise its rates on individual policies by an average of nearly 60 percent, reports CBS New York.
And it is not only Texas.
A recent analysis of nine states, before the Texas rates were announced, by the consulting firm Avalere Health found that average insurer desired premium increases for the most popular kind of plan ranged from 5 percent in Washington state to 44 percent in Vermont.

ReplyDeleteRemember, folks: The *point* was always for Obamacare to fail *so that* Lefties could say that it was *still* too unregulated and that what we've really needed all along was a Single Payer System.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree... Designed to fail... Then it will take years to get what we need like in the UK.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteThe charges that corporate medicine charges is beyond reality. 8200 plus dollars are common for simple 20 minute office proceedures. No insurance can pay for greed.
