    Not sure but they did increase a lot less last year. For people who get subsidies, however, the elimination of the cost-sharing reduction subsidy helped people get better plans and increased the government pay-in on policies because the increases targeted silver plans only which caused the government pay-in to go up for all plans, thereby allowing more people to shift from bronze to silver or silver to gold plans. Perhaps they are related to why mine went up significantly less than they were going up under obama every year.

    i was being serious, but you obviously were not with that biased crap you linked.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Of course it is. Her Gleevec is 8800 bucks a year in Canada and a generic in India is 400 a year. In America it is 146 K a year. How can we justify that? we cannot. PHARM just wants the billions a drug brings them. The appliance manufacturers are robbing us blind too. Both are taking advantage of the lobbying laws and their ability to pour money into elections via PACs. The America political system is bought and paid for and it is not to the advantage of the people. Our entire medical system is a farce . We pay more than double other countries for worse medical care and millions have none.

    then why do you continue to support a political party that partakes in the lobbying?

    pfffft, yes, your sources tell nothing but the truth............/sarcasm

    listen, you can continue to lockstep the talking points of the biased media moguls, or you can do your own independent study, but while you continue to do the former, all of your info is corrupt. i'll trust my own info over yours.

    I've been in the individual market for 40 years. I forgot more about health insurance than you'll ever know.

    I don't care what you think of the source I linked. All sources say the same thing.
