The only difference most people see in their health insurance this year is a 15% rise in premiums. Last year 0Bama said if we don't do anything they will rise by 20%. Thank you Mr. President for saving me 5%. Another campaign promised delivered. The only question now is how to spend that "extra" 5% I have in my pocket.
Name one health insurance company that has been approved by a state for 15% premium increase. President Obama used the Anthem / Wellpoint rate hikes repeatedly in the course of pushing for health care reform.
They didn't get the 39% they requested in California, they got 14% and 19%.
I imagine that hasn't been in the news on the left coast since August.
