Woohoo! Thank goodness for ObamaCare!
People who buy their own health insurance have been hit lately with premium hikes that far exceed increases in premiums for employer-sponsored coverage, according to a new survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The nonprofit foundation, which is separate from health insurer Kaiser Permanente, said recent premium hikes requested by insurers for individual coverage averaged 20 percent. Some customers were able to switch plans and pay less, so people paying on their own actually wound up paying 13 percent more on average…
And the really good news: We still don’t know all that is in the bill! Apparently, however, the insurance companies know – and are thus jacking up rates.
It is good to live in Obama’s America! Double plus good, in fact.
