Health Premiums Increase for Older Women, Thanks Obama

According to a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, women between the ages of 55 to 64 pay an additional $2,185 to $2,738 more for health insurance and out of pocket expenses under ObamaCare than they did under their old health care plans.

For older women, the cost for “health premiums and out of pocket expenses increased by fifty percent” – the largest increase by any group. With these new costly health premiums, older women are having to budget their expenses in order to have health insurance and receive the medicine they desperately need.

This election cycle, older women will show their frustrations with ObamaCare and the Democrats who support it by electing Republican leaders to Congress. Women deserve a Republican leader who will promote health care stability by repealing this costly and flawed law.

From Washington Post:

“In fact, the redistribution to older women is so great that almost everyone else is “below average” in the change in their total health care expenses for these two plans.  For example, men age 45 to 54 will see their premiums fall by about $1,000 a year relative to the average if they buy the bronze plan, while total costs for women in this age group are $300 below average. For older women, they’re $1,500 above average.”
