obamacare premiums higher in 43 of 48 states

Younger Americans and families will pay higher health insurance premiums, some as much as 171 percent more, under obamacare in nearly 90 percent of the country once they can finally log into the system’s broken computer network, according to the first full review of what state and federal health care “exchanges” are charging.

The study based on state and federal Obamacare pricing data finds that younger Americans who are supposed to be the bulk of those in the system will see the largest percentage increases in premiums, according to Drew Gonshorowski of the Heritage Foundation, which has closely charted the development of the Affordable Care Act.

“Many individuals will experience sticker shock when shopping on the exchanges,” said the data analyst.

His study broke down the monthly costs of buying insurance in and outside of obamacare. He included the 47 states and the District of Columbia for which the best information is known and released.

He found that in only five states — Colorado, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Ohio — will the costs go down. In Colorado, the decrease is big, some 30 percent for younger Americans.

But the increases in other states are substantial. A younger applicant in Arkansas, for example, can expect to pay 171 percent more, or a jump from $104 a month to $285. In Kansas, an adult age 50 who currently pays $198 a month will see an increase to $341, a 72 percent jump. And a family of four in Indiana that currently pays $712 a month will pay $894.

ALL states with a large Illegal component!

 

The Obamacare site cost us $600 million...more than startups Amazon and Google!

"...Obama can't delay it at this point. Insurers have already sent out letters all over the country telling their customers that their policies have been canceled thanks to Obamacare. For many of these cases, the insurer has finally gained a legal opportunity to drop high-risk patients from their plans. There is no way they are going to reverse these changes without a substantial legal fight.

Obama delaying Obamacare will be even a bigger political disaster than keeping it on schedule. Many Americans will find themselves without insurance on January 1 with no exchanges available for them. Not only will they not have been able to keep the insurance they had, but they won't be able to get any new insurance..."

The shutdown distracted from the disastrous rollout of ObamaCare...BUT, the trainwreck continues!

 

That is all hypothetical study by the Heritage Foundation!! They also said that an immigration bill will cost us an additional $6 trillion!! Keep scratching, you might come up with something! (not)

If you've tried to sign up online for health coverage under the problem-plagued Obamacare exchange, our sympathies. Many people have tried to create accounts and shop for insurance under the new law.

Few have succeeded.

Those that have enrolled have found that the system is prone to mistakes.

Some applications have been sent to the wrong insurance company.

Wait. It gets worse.

Those who have managed to browse the marketplace have often been hit by sticker shock.

Take Adam Weldzius, a nurse practitioner and single father from Carpentersville. He sought the same level of coverage on the exchange as he and his 7-year-old daughter have now, with the same insurer and the same network of doctors and hospitals. At best, Weldzius found, his monthly premium of $233 would more than double. If he chose a plan priced at the same level, the annual deductible would be $12,700, more than three times his current $3,500 deductible.

"I believe everybody should be able to have health insurance, but at the same time, I'm being penalized. And for what?" Weldzius told the Tribune's Peter Frost. "For someone who's always had insurance, who's always taken care of myself, now I have to change my plan?"

Last spring, President Barack Obama said "there will still be ... ah ... ah , you know, ah ... ah, glitches and bumps" in the rollout of the new system. But what we're seeing now is no glitch or bump. There is a growing mountain of evidence that Obamacare has fundamental problems in design and implementation.

• Illinois officials boasted that insurance premiums here would be lower than expected. But the Tribune reported Sunday that 21 of the 22 lowest-priced plans offered for Cook County residents have whopping annual deductibles of more than $4,000 for an individual and $8,000 for family coverage. That's much more than many families can afford to pay.

• The Obama administration delayed issuing major rules to set up the exchanges until after the 2012 presidential election and refused to push back the Oct. 1 launch date, lest Republicans take political advantage, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

• Sloppy design of the architecture of the computer system, not simply an overload of users, created the problems that are blocking people from applying online for coverage, The Wall Street Journal reported last week.

"These are not glitches," an insurance executive who has participated in many conference calls on the federal exchange told the Times. "The extent of the problems is pretty enormous. At the end of our calls, people say, 'It's awful, just awful.' ''

There are more problems.

People who have individual insurance coverage are finding that Obama's oft-repeated promise —

"if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan" — is just not true.

They are being told by insurers that their existing plans expire on Dec. 31 and they must choose new coverage.

They're learning that insurers managed to offer lower-cost plans by narrowing the networks of hospitals and doctors that are available or by upping the out-of-pocket expenses.

Unless people are careful in selecting coverage, they may be surprised to find they have to pay much more for out-of-network care to go to their doctors or get treated at the best hospitals.

Federal officials argue that they'll work out the kinks in the system in plenty of time for people to sign up by Dec. 15 for coverage that begins Jan. 1. Yes, the techies might be able to work out the computer network problems by then. But that's not a given.

"keep HOPE alive"—The American Communist Party will prop Obamacare up indefinitely.
