If it's good for us, it's good for them. No exceptions ... unless we're all excepted.

Our system needs some improvements, but this Obamacare is a disaster at its core.

Here are some excerpts from a newly released report (May 13, 2013) regarding Obamacare (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)). Here are some excerpts:

"As this report demonstrates, consumers purchasing health insurance on the individual market may face premium increases of nearly 100 percent on average, with potential highs eclipsing 400 percent. Meanwhile, small businesses can expect average premium increases in the small group market of up to 50 percent, with potential highs over 100 percent."

"The internal documents provided by the insurance industry confirm many of the concerns voiced over PPACA: despite promises that the law will lower costs, the PPACA will in fact cause the premiums of many Americans to spike substantially. The broken promises are numerous, and the data reveals that many Americans, from recent college graduates to older adults, will not be able to afford the law’s higher costs. One of the nation’s leading insurance companies that insures millions of Americans predicts premiums will nearly double for individuals getting a new plan, those keeping their insurance will see an average increase of 73 percent, and some individuals could see increases of as much as 413 percent. These figures forecast looming financial hardships when the law takes effect on January 1, 2014."

Excerpted from the full report which can be read here:

Obamacare is a bloated and complex law foisted on the American people with promises of reduced health care costs. It was rammed quickly through Congress before it could even be read by our representatives. Yet some people continue to voice approval of it. It has been law for over three years now, and I am still waiting for my health insurance premiums to go down, rather than up. :|
