Obamacare Sticker Shock Stress Sweeps America
Consumer ‘Too Upset’ To Finish Premium Increase Letter, Democratic Governor ‘Extremely Unhappy’ With Obamacare Unaffordability
“Costs are going up on the private, taxpayer-subsidized coverage sold through HealthCare.gov and state insurance exchanges, and many of the more than 10 million eligible uninsured Americans are skeptics. They tend to be younger people on tight budgets, with other priorities for spending their money.” (“Higher Premiums Likely To Slow ObamaCare Signups In Law's Third Year,” Associated Press, 11/2/15)
Double-Digit Premium Increases Hit Americans All Over The Country
OKLAHOMA: “Oklahomans who buy health insurance on the federal marketplace could be in for sticker shock this year. The Department of Health and Human Services is estimating premiums will jump 35 percent on average for the one company returning to the exchange this year: Blue Cross Blue Shield.” (“Oklahoma Obamacare Premiums See 35 Percent Price Hike,” KFOR, 10/29/15)
“According to HHS, last year, more than 126,000 Oklahomans took their pick of plans from four different companies: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Community Care, Global Health and Assurant. This year, three of those companies dropped out, and only one - United Healthcare - stepped in to replace them.”(“Oklahoma Obamacare Premiums See 35 Percent Price Hike,” KFOR, 10/29/15)
“Ms. Greb said she was too upset to finish a letter she got recently from her insurer, Moda Health, that said her ‘bronze’ health plan, for which she pays $213 a month after a subsidy of $175, would not be offered through the exchange in 2016. The company offered her a similar plan that would cost $265 a month if her subsidy stays the same.” (“Many Need To Shop Around On HealthCare.gov As Prices Jump, U.S. Says,” New York Times, 10/31/15)>/li>
NORTH CAROLINA: “The costs of buying health insurance outside the workplace or refusing to pay up are both rising in North Carolina as a new enrollment period for federally subsidized coverage opens on Sunday. The cost of a benchmark plan on the state's federally run online insurance marketplace will go up by 23 percent for 2016 coverage, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said.” (“Insurance Sign-Up Time: Rising Premiums, Tougher Penalties,” Associated Press, 10/30/15)
