Did Your Health Premium Increase?

June 18, 2014

According to a new Manhattan Institute study, ObamaCare has increased 2014 Individual-Market premiums by an average of forty-nine percent.

Instead of paying less for health care, many taxpayers will have to budget their expenses and find new ways to afford these expensive health premiums. This is another example of President Obama betraying Americans’ trust and breaking his campaign promises of providing cheaper health care plans.

This November, voters will be taking their frustrations with the Democrats’ failed policies and empty promises to the polls by electing Republican candidates to Congress. Taxpayers deserve a Republican leader who will repeal ObamaCare and promote heath care stability.

Check out the new interactive map from Manhattan Institute to see how much health premiums cost in your county.

From Forbes:

“Among men, the county with the greatest increase in insurance prices from 2013 to 2014 was Buchanan County, Missouri, about 45 miles north of Kansas City: 271 percent. Among women, the “winner” was Goodhue County, Minnesota, about an hour southwest of Minneapolis: 200 percent. Overall, the counties of Nevada, North Carolina, Minnesota, and Arkansas haven experienced the largest rate hikes under the law.”
