Despite liberals desperate distraction attempts, Obamacare is the issue du jour

According to Duke University’s Christopher Conover, more than 100 million people in the large-group market will be forced into plans different than the ones they previously had.


The same is true for another 16.6 million people in the small-group market.


The new coverage available under Obamacare will typically come at a higher cost.


For example, the cheapest new plan that Fullerton, California, resident Jennifer Harris can find is $238 per month. Her old plan — now cancelled — cost $98 per month.


On average, California residents will pay 30 percent more under Obamacare.


Winston-Salem, North Carolina small businessman Tom Luebchow recently told the Wall Street Journal that his coverage through Blue Cross & Blue Shield had been cancelled — and that the alternative available to him would feature premiums three times higher.

One independent study projects rate increases in 45 of 50 states.


In Virginia, the average single 27-year old purchaser of an individual plan will go from paying $165 per month to $581.55 — a jump of more than 252 percent.


Another study by the nonpartisan American Society of Actuaries says rates will increase in 47 of 50 states.


These rate hikes are a function of the many cost-inflating mandates imposed by Obamacare — including required coverage of mental health therapies, maternity care, and substance abuse treatment.
