发帖数: 29846 | 1 ObamaCare Success Story: Tennessee Men Face 290% Premium Hike, Women 197%
by Jammie
Well, at least there’s no War on Women angle here. Their premiums only go
up nearly 200% while the men really get to suffer.
The White House today released a report on the costs of Obamacare for
most Americans, heralding their interpretation that 95 percent of the nation
will be able to buy health insurance premiums below “earlier projections.”
But note the words “earlier projections.” That doesn’t mean that the
insurance Americans will have to buy, or be fined, under Obamacare will be
cheaper than what they pay today, before Obamacare kicks in.
We know this because at the same time the White House was releasing its
broad study, Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander released his analysis of the
report’s portion on his state. He found that Obamacare will cost far more
than what many of his constituents are paying today, some by as much as 290
percent.
From his release:
— Today, a 27-year-old man in Memphis can buy a plan for as low as $41
a month. On the exchange, the lowest state average is $119 a month-a 290%
increase.
— Today, a 27-year-old woman in Nashville can also buy a plan for as
low as $58 a month. On the exchange, the lowest-priced plan in Nashville is
$114 a month-a 197% increase. Even with a tax subsidy, that plan is $104 a
month, almost twice what she could pay today.
— Today, women in Nashville can choose from 30 insurance plans that
cost less than the administration says insurance plans on the exchange will
cost, even with the new tax subsidy.
— In Nashville, 105 insurance plans offered today will not be available
in the exchange.
And for all that they’ll have less choice and lousy service. But don’t get
too down, folks, those premiums will rise even more next year. |
