The only question I have is why anyone with half a brain would not see the relevance and value of such a proposal. We all should be able to choose and purchase a product that meets our needs. Instead, to date, people have had a one size fits all policy rammed down their throats. Hopefully Democrats will soon see the light and realize that changes to Odumbocare are necessary and totally logical. The measure, which would allow insurance companies to renew and sell inexpensive, limited-coverage policies that have been canceled because they don't meet the standards of the new healthcare law that took effect on October 1, passed 261-157.
No sooner did you answer the question posed and just today we have this: http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/208979-insurers-call-for-lower-cost-obamacare-plan
That's all I want ... a chance to choose what I want/need. But here's more from Aetna CEO .... http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/11/aetna-ceo-expect-a-rate-hike-of-less-than-20-percent/ Aetna CEO: Expect A Rate Hike Of âLess Than 20 Percentâ Bertolini spoke at a Goldman Sachs health care conference in Los Angeles, but did not specify what percentage rates would climb, Reuters reports. It seems that the average Aetna Obamacare customer will have some level of double-digit rate hike. Bertolini said that Aetna customers are regularly disenrolling from their Obamacare coverage, but that Aetna projects that it will have 450,000 exchange customers at the end of the year. He suspects that customers are dropping their Obamacare coverage due to high out-of-pocket costs.
A few years back I had an increase of about 45% over the previous year on my health insurance premiums, and Bush was the president at the time.
