So these Obamacare cost increase estimates...

One of the nation's premier experts in numbers has a tough diagnosis for President Barack Obama's health care law.

 

the Society of Actuaries estimated Tuesday that insurers will have to pay out an average of 32 percent more for claims on individual health policies under the Affordable Care Act, a cost likely to be passed on to consumers.While some areas will see declines in medical claims costs, the report predicts the majority of states will see double-digit increases in their individual health insurance markets, where people purchase coverage directly from insurers rather than get coverage from employers.

 

By 2017, the estimated increase would be 62 percent for California, about 80 percent in Ohio and Wisconsin, more than 20 percent for Florida and 67 percent for Maryland. Much of the reason for the higher claims costs is that sicker people are expected to join the pool, the report said.

 

The report did not make similar estimates for employer plans, the mainstay for workers and their families. That's because the primary impact of Obama's law is on people who don't have coverage through their jobs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I spose this is a no brainer since so many ppl who just buy the basic coverage they need will now be required to pay for all of the above and then some.

We are fed all kinds of BS that fascist government math isn't the same arithmetic we all grew up on... That adding 30 million people to the health care rolls with no meaningful changes to any cost structure will somehow save money...

 

That running giant deficits that roll up huge amounts of debt that will soon become ever more expensive to cover the interest payments is no concern for a country with virtually no sustainable growth in the near future.

 

People (democrats) that they claim to be the more 'educated' party somehow forget the basic math they learned in grade school.

Attacking cost drivers in the medical industry would have helped... Obama took the path of least resistance, placating the industry, his future votersm all on the backs of the tax payers.

Unpossible.

 

Do you have a non-crapass source?

 

Obama told us our insurance premiums would go down.
