Yesterday Investors.com posted an article about the new ObamaCare<\/a> insurance premiums<\/a> and the expected enrollment in 2015.<\/p>\n

This is a chart from the article:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Just 9 million to 9.9 million people will be enrolled by the end of 2015, the Department of Health and Human Services predicted. That’s far below an earlier Congressional Budget Office<\/a> projection of 13 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of a near-doubling of the exchange population projected by CBO, the White House’s<\/a> estimate amounts to a 25%-40% increase vs. the newly disclosed 7.1 million tally as of October.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is becoming very obvious that ObamaCare is not working out the way the American people<\/a> were promised it would work.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sometime next summer we can expect the Supreme Court<\/a> to rule on whether of not the federal government is allowed to pay the subsidies<\/a> needed to make ObamaCare work.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Excluding subsidies, the lowest-cost bronze plan will rise 3%, and the cheapest silver plan will go up 4%, on average.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The after-subsidy premium cost increase<\/a> of the cheapest bronze and silver plans has to do with how the subsidies are calculated. As income rises, even just to match inflation, the amount paid in premiums before subsidies kick in goes up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Further, individuals will pay more for the cheapest plans, after subsidies, if the second-lowest-cost silver plan premium increases less \u2014 or falls more \u2014 than premiums for the lowest-cost silver and bronze plans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 11 of the 34 cities, the subsidized lowest-cost bronze premium will rise by double digits, but the subsidized rate will be flat or negative in nine of the cities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, in addition to not being able to keep your doctor or your health insurance plan if you like them, you will be paying more for what you do have under ObamaCare.<\/p>\n
