I'm not so sure about that... my health insurance has gone up double digits for the past 3 years.

Last year, same plan through Humana.. my plan went up 32% June 2014 - June 2015.

The Affordable Care Act is an abysmal failure for people who pay their own bills.

5 years ago, my monthly premium for health insurance was $198.20

Today, that same exact insurance (with a higher deductable) is $420.99

Maybe if you weren't so racist you wouldn't have a problem with your bill more than doubling.

Wow, you are indeed an utter moron.

Do you really think that inflation is the culprit for PB's monthly premium more than doubling when inflation has been 1.64%/yr (annualized thru 3/31; cumulatively 8.49% for the 5yr period)

It was a joke. Hope you feel better, though.

Inorite! It's not like Obama has ever railed against firearms or healthcare costs!

He killed Bin Laden though!
