Obamacare is Rapidly Becoming the Poster Child for American Inequality
(http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2016/08/22/obamacare-is-rapidly-becoming-the-poster-child-for-american-inequality/)
The best thing about Obama (from an oligarch’s perspective), is his uncanny ability to push through upward redistributive wealth policies while still maintaining a phony aura of caring about the little guy amongst so many of his apparently lobotomized supporters. --- more --->> (http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2016/08/22/obamacare-is-rapidly-becoming-the-poster-child-for-american-inequality/)

Tennessee clears steep Obamacare rate hikes (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tennessee-clears-steep-obamacare-rate-hikes/article/2599968)

Tennessee's insurance regulators approved increases of more than 40 percent for Obamacare plans next year, according to the Tennessean.

Blue Cross-Blue Shield has the highest rate hike for 2017 at 62 percent, nearly double the 36 percent increase adopted for 2016, the newspaper said.

Cigna's boost of 46 percent was approved, as was Humana's boost of 44 percent. Both insurers had asked for increases of about 20 percent but then asked the insurance regulator for higher rates after looking at what expected claims were.

total bullshit phrasing. ACA does set or hike rates, only BigInsurance does.

Yet again, you assholes DEFLECT from the real culprit as dictated by the VRWC/BigCorp slander machine.

you rightwingnuts wouldn't know a truth if it climbed up your noses

boutons, if TN is clearing rate hikes, the insurance companies have probably shown proof (recent claims) that back up the request. Don't blame the insurance companies - they can only get 15% to cover expenses/profit. Blame Obama and the Democrats for passing this crappy law mandating their 10 essential benefits, doing nothing to hold down costs and driving the young and healthy to take a pass because of high premiums/deductibles/copays/narrow networks.

the insurance companies have been "proving" the huge annual price hikes for 20+ years. US health care is redistribution of wealth upward, includes leaving Ms of people poverty stricken or bankrupt for medical debts. What great fucking country, uh, corporatocracy.
