发帖数: 29846 | 1 ObamaCare Estimated to Raise Premiums for 11 Million; Networks Continue
Blackout

On Tuesday evening, the networks continued their blackout of a CMS estimate
that ObamaCare would raise health premiums for 11 million people -- almost
two-thirds of small business plans.
The CMS report was released on Monday but the networks have been silent on
it so far. The story wasn’t omitted from a busy news schedule, as the CBS
Evening News carved out over two minutes to reminisce on the fiftieth
anniversary of the Mohammed Ali-Sonny Liston championship bout. The ABC
World News ran a segment on “sleep whisperers” and insomnia.
An estimated 11 million will see their premiums rise, but over at Forbes
Avik Roy says the problem is worse, and that late in 2014 many in the
employer-sponsored market will see their premiums go up.
In another ObamaCare story that the networks ignored on Tuesday evening, e-
mails from May of 2013 showed a senior White House official exasperated with
the “disarray” of the ObamaCare exchanges under construction and wishing
for a “come to Jesus meeting” with some of those involved.
The Washington Examiner reported that an e-mail between a senior HHS
official and the president of Enroll America “reveals that HHS officials
harbored deep frustrations about the White House’s own health care
messaging and preparations in the middle of 2013, months before the troubled
rollout.” | t**********0
