Healthcare Premiums Skyrocketing, Delaware up 100%

Quote:

The survey analysts say it is due to ObamaCare for these reasons: commercial underwriting restrictions; age bans which don’t allow insurers to vary premiums between young and old; excise taxes on insurance plans; and new benefit designs (maternity care for all for example).

They conducted a survey in January which showed rates rising in the fall of 2013 as well. The new increases came on top of the prior increases.

For the individual insurance market (plans sold directly to consumers); among the ten states seeing some of the sharpest average increases are: Delaware at 100%, New Hampshire 90%, Indiana 54%, California 53%, Connecticut 45%, Michigan 36%, Florida 37%, Georgia 29%, Kentucky 29%, and Pennsylvania 28%.

Numbers!

Killing America: Rate of Uninsured FIFTY PERCENT Higher in GOP-Controlled Red States

Last edited Wed Apr 9, 2014, 05:33 PM - Edit history (1)

Remember all that Republican talk about death panels in the Affordable Care Act (ACA)? Turns out they were right, but what they didn’t mention is that their own party is the death panel.

-snip-

For one aspect of the law, the Medicaid expansion, the Supreme Court ruled that individual states could opt out without facing a penalty.

Naturally, many red states have done just that. Is it any surprise that many of those same states have uninsured rates almost fifty percent higher than those with a Medicaid expansion? 50%! A graph posted on the Moyers & Company website perfectly illustrates the disparity.

As of the first quarter of 2014, 12.4% of adults aged 18-64 are still uninsured in states that expanded Medicaid. Conversely, that number is 18.1% for the same age group in states that opted out. While there are still options for those living in states without the Medicaid expansion, it certainly takes away a major avenue to insure millions more Americans. And that’s the main goal here, get ‘em covered and get ‘em healthy, as many as possible.

So the next time you hear a conservative talking about ObamaCare death panels, tell them yes, you believe there are death panels caused by ObamaCare, but they’re being run by the GOP.

@bobsal u1553115,

I guess those people die at home. Because they would be treated in any state whether they are insured or not. It has always been that way. And it has not changed. No hospital turns out a person in need of immediate care.

So it has nothing to do with Medicare. It has more to do with fairy tales from the democratic(Progressive statist party). 17,000 will die? That is impossible to know. It is simply projection and propaganda.

@coldjoint,

That is funny Pink Prevaricator.

Here is a look at that survey....

http://www.4-traders.com/MORGAN-STANLEY-13654/news/Morgan-Stanley--New-Hampshire-Dems-ICYMI-Survey-Citing-90-Insurance-Rate-Increase-Completely-Deb-18246444/

So.. you ask one person's opinion in Delaware and then use that to claim the rates have gone up 100%? No sane person would use that for the basis for making any claims.

Quote:

But only one of the 148 insurance brokers anonymously surveyed by Morgan Stanley works in New Hampshire. Delaware, which the report says is seeing a 100% increase under the law, also only had a single respondent.

In a statement, the New Hampshire Insurance Department says while individual prices can vary significantly, the average individual rate did not go up by 90%.

@coldjoint,

This is all a dandy example of how your American system of propaganda makes the Nazis' propaganda look like child's play.

But the divisiveness stops when it comes to making excuses for your war criminal governments. The ranks close and everybody sees squirrels.

@parados,

It isn't a lone story, my rates went up $200 a month for my insurance. This is happening all over the country. What is a shame, is that the media isn't doing their jobs and telling the full story. They have to tell the story so people such as myself are portrayed as lairs. Harry Reid even said as much. Nice huh.

ROFLMAO... That isn't 100% increase for the rate charged by the insurance company. Even you have to admit that.

Conservatives Want to Oust John Boehner, But Have No Clue How

BY BRIAN BEUTLER
Share

It seems like every time the House leadership crosses the right wing of the Republican conference, rank-and-file conservatives respond by contemplating a coup to deny John Boehner the speakership next year.

A few days ago, leaders did an end run around the hardliners to jam a Medicare "doc fix" bill through the House. Now the hardliners are furious. And thanks to Tim Alberta's latest piece for National Journal, we know that they're being more public about a still-marinating plan to oust Boehner in January.

From my own reporting, I can confirm that these conversations are ongoing, and not even particularly hushed. I can also confirm that the rebel faction (such as it is) hasn't found an heir apparent. It's not even clear anyone who could feasibly be an heir apparent would want to participate in the rebellion. That doesn't mean a dedicated group of disaffected conservatives couldn't deny Boehner the speakership. But without a prospective replacement, it's the kind of bluff Boehner could probably call if he wanted to.

If you'd like a detailed explanation of the speakership election, the Congressional Research Service has you covered. The short version is that a speaker-hopeful needs to win a majority of voting members to actually claim the gavel. And given the GOP's fairly narrow margin in the House right now (a margin that will presumably remain narrow after the election) it wouldn't take many dissidents to deny Boehner a majority.

But unless a popular figure with real stature in the conference (someone like Paul Ryan, for instance) eventually steps up, the threat suffers from an "and then what?!" problem. The hope I guess is that Boehner would be too embarrassed to go to the floor without enough support to win the election, and step aside voluntarily. And maybe he would! That's more or less what happened to Newt Gingrich in 1999. But if he were to call the conservatives' bluff and fall short of a majority in round one, the House would just keep voting until a victor emerged. And unless the hardliners were willing to team with Democrats and support someone more liberal than Boehner (SPOILER: that'll never happen) then Boehner would eventually come out on top. Even if he had to cut a deal with Dems to get them to abstain from voting.

That's basically how the process works. I'm obviously spitballing here, but that's because the whole story is a war game at this point. Six months ago, conservatives were pretty happy with Boehner because he let them shut down the government. Six months from now, they might not be as furious at him as they are right now. If Republicans win seats in November, would the hardliners really have enough juice to depose him? If they lose a bunch of seats, would ousting him even be necessary? Things change. But unless and until some credible challenger comes out of the woodwork, these conservatives are basically telling Boehner "step aside, or else!" Or else what?

SUURE he can but no he won't. If all he's reported regarding his insurance is true, he's paying thousands a year to pay for that denial privilege. To the 1% who don't give a flip about him past his and his employers ability to send a check into off shored and untaxed profits.

No doubt, Baldino has met the enemy and he is him.

Isn't that special. What did they go up by 89%? The point is the law has severely inflated premiums and costing the consumer much more than anyone planned for. Or shills like you will admit.

Boy, if that is not repeated like a good boy should do. How stupid are you? Do you really think the Democrats aren't part of the 1% and just as guilty?

Obama Lies(what's new?) about Voter Fraud and DOJ Investigations Before Paranoid Audience

Quote:

A tragic phenomenon has affected President Obama since he became President. The more radical his audience, the more outrageous his lies. At his appearance before Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, Obama called voter fraud claims “bogus” and said his Justice Department has “taken on more than 100 voting rights cases since 2009. ”

This is a bald faced lie. One need merely click this link from the Justice Department’s own website to see it is a lie. The truth is that 39 cases have been brought, not 100 – and only 13 relate to protecting minority voting rights – usually foreign language ballot issues. The rest of the cases involve states sending out military ballots (an effort only begun after blistering coverage at PJ Media and elsewhere in 2010).

I guess once you start lying you just can stop. This is not presidential, but either is Obama.

Sure... because you wrote it in pink it must be true. You don't need no stinking actual evidence. Simply using pink is enough for you.

Here is from the NH Insurance Department

Quote:

Pricing trends in 2013 and 2014 continue to decline reflecting
the more favorable observed claim trends in recent years
.
The 2014 New Hampshire pricing trend of 8.1% is down from 8.7% in 2013 and generally
in line with national trend survey results. Pricing trends are one of several components of
the resulting premium increase. In addition, there is typically a
significant lag between the claims data reflected in premiums and
the actual observed experience.

Democrats are foolish and dangerous. Their ideals are disconnected from reality. Their faith in their purpose is contemptible, unreasonable, and destructive. I have nothing but contempt for Statists, because they are not smart, they are not responsible, they are not noble, and they are destroying our culture, our freedom, and our economy in pursuit of an ideal which cannot exist. They are not compassionate. They are not moral. They are anti-science, anti-education, anti-freedom. They are destructive, intolerant, and cruel. They place so much value on their own imaginary world that they are willing to deprive you of your life, liberty, and property, to deprive you of your Constitutional Republic, and to eviscerate our existence in pursuit of a fantasy. They hate the people that live in the real world. They hate people that don’t get in line. They are now using the power and guns of federal and state governments to intimidate those who do not go along.

The narrative has to be changed. Democrats have no rights to control what is said.They can't control (not for lack of trying)what you say, remember that don't be intimidated and remember their agenda is one party rule and indoctrination, and worst of all control of choices, mans most precious gift (besides life itself)is being able to make his own decisions.

Childish, intolerant, abusive idealists are not to be taken lightly. It is exactly this kind of being that has destroyed nations in the past. America is not immune.

An impossible Utopia is their “end” and this is supposed to justify their means, despite the impossibility of success. This is insane. It is irresponsible. It is dangerous. In many ways it is childish. They must be stopped.
