I'm not sure why the Left took such pleasure in this story that basically said, "When this guy got sick, Obamacare was not there to help him, just as it wouldn't have been before the law was passed."

But just as we predicted, exchange rates are in trouble:

"Last week, IBD reported that BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee wants to jack up its ObamaCare premiums by more than 36%; CareFirst in Maryland by close to 30%; and Moda Health in Oregon by almost 50%. Since then, North Dakota has reported rate hike requests of 43%, Kansas 38% and Iowa 18%."

Sure, this is all preliminary and it will be negotiated down before it is over. But there is nothing positive about it. And over time it gets far worse. We've already seen costs head through the roof AS PREDICTED:



(It is worth considering that much of the increase from 2000-2010 was a result of the 2009 recession, NOT of rampant cost growth BEFORE the ACA as was claimed by the pro-socialized medicine forces).

If you are at all interested in the truth I recommend you check out this article by Krauthammer. I know, he isn't of your political stripes, but he might a person who is worth listening to on this subject.
