    Can it be that the states are doing their jobs and only allowing an increase if the insurer can show legitamcy? I am sure that it has nothing to do with “out of the goodness of their hearts”……What pretell is the national average of the rate increases that they had filed over a year and half ago???

    Employer costs are not going up, the employees costs are. Nobody’s doing there job except the big O. He’s charging all that pay for insurance a little more so a few watching Oprah can have more.

    Welcome to the Obamacare, one size fits all for healthcare plan. Your employer is going to cancel the current plan and buy the government subsidized plans that are little more than a single payer plan. They call them pooled risk plans, etc. But eventually they will be administered by the Feds. Larger deductibles, limited benefits, only generic drugs are available and limited use of the plan for the healthy.

    WELCOME OF SOCIALISM!

    Joe eco.
    The inflation rate with housing is 2.5%. Remove housing and include groceries and its over 7%. That’s the rate that we feel. Propaganda tells one story, but reality tells another.

    7% or 9% it really does not matter when our income is going down by 10%.

    I guess Obama’s deficit payment plan is to pay off the 13 trillion with worthless dollars. Make a loaf of bread cost $1000. and the 13 trillion becomes doable, huh…. He also gets his wish of a crisis necessary to make everyone run to the government for all our needs. Its called Socialism or maybe even Communist. You do know his only job was a community organizer. LOL…

    38 Governors are necessary to reverse some of this federal idioacy passed by these lawyers/theives that have been elected.
    ALL are not subject to SS taxes. All have their OWN health plan including obamaination. ALL can retire with FULL pay after ONE damn term. I want to work 4 years and walk away???
    This has got to be reversed.
    All reps and senators MUST be subjected to any legislation thrust upon the States.
