Why Are Your Health Premiums Rising? Find Out Here.

According to a Politico article, taxpayers will be forced to pay higher health premiums this enrollment season in order to keep the health care plans they like – unlike the President promised.

As the enrollment season approaches, a majority of insurers have submitted their ObamaCare rate-hike requests and the average premium increase is 7.5 percent. However, taxpayers in Florida, North Carolina and Iowa could see premium hikes as high as 11 percent to almost 18 percent.

Instead of making health care more affordable, ObamaCare has continued to increase premiums and forced taxpayers to find new doctors. This November, taxpayers will elect Republican leaders to Congress who will promote real health care reform by repealing this costly and flawed law.

From Politico:

“Facing a barrage of criticism from Republicans and some Democrats, who accused him of breaking his promise that people could keep plans they liked, President Barack Obama relented. He told insurers they could continue offering those plans if states agreed. About two-thirds of the states took him up on the offer.

“But the president’s decision is now having an impact on upcoming rates, insurers say. Many younger, healthier Americans — the category companies had counted on enrolling when they set their initial prices — stuck with their existing coverage. In states with the biggest numbers of these “transitional” policyholders, their absence from the Obamacare market is pushing premiums higher.”
