The Insiders: Democrats are trying to suppress the confusion and hide the cost of ObamaCare
“I don’t know if Members of Congress will be hearing about it in town hall gatherings and other meetings back home over the Fourth of July recess, but the rolling thunder of the approaching ObamaCare train can be heard in the distance. Smart Democrats are beginning to get frantic about the need to suppress the confusion and hide the cost of ObamaCare between now and the 2014 midterm elections. We are just three months away from the October 1st enrollment start date and so far, nothing about the ObamaCare implementation process should be politically encouraging for Democrats. In fact, the more people learn about ObamaCare, the more frightened they become.”
Right now, small businesses across America are making the final determinations on how to reduce the working hours of their employees so fewer employees qualify for the mandated, employer-provided health insurance. Employers are also deciding whether it makes more economic sense to pay a fine to the government or pay for healthcare benefits for their employees. What this means is that hundreds of thousands – and perhaps even millions – of Americans will learn that they are being dismissed from their employer’s healthcare coverage.”

Wall Street Journal: “Health-Insurance Costs Set for a Jolt”
Today's Wall Street Journal sounds the latest alarm on the looming rate shock set to hit Americans when Obamacare takes effect reporting that healthy individuals could see their rates double or triple. The Wall Street Journal's analysis echoes similar findings compiled in an Energy and Commerce Committee report released in May on "The Looming Premium Rate Shock." The committee report chronicled internal analyses provided by 17 of the nation's largest health insurance companies. One leading insurance company that insures millions of Americans predicts premiums will nearly double for individuals getting a new plan, while those keeping their insurance will see an average increase of 73 percent, and some individuals could see increases over 400 percent. Many Americans, from recent college graduates to older adults, will not be able to afford the law's higher costs.
