Spikes ranging from 35 percent to 120%

Local business owners might be hoping the Affordable Care Act’s insurance mandates cover sticker shock.
The law’s employer coverage mandate doesn’t take effect until 2015, but early plan renewals are starting to roll in. And for some businesses, the premium jumps are positively painful.
Local insurance brokers are reporting spikes ranging from 35 percent to 120 percent on policies that renew from July to December. The increases are especially acute among employers with workforces made up of younger, healthier men. That’s because Obamacare prohibits offering lower rates to healthier groups. It also narrows the allowed premium gap between older and younger enrollees.

The ACA was never about reducing premiums or healthcare cost. It was about increasing them across the board for everyone with less money going to healthcare providers and more towards new taxes and Wall Street investors.

And a stepping stone to single payer.

If that were true, Massachusetts would have that already.

You understand the difference between the fed and state, no?

If you did you would recognize the illogical in your statement.

I'm sure you're right, bajisima. Of course, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid thinks it is.

"And he’s (Michael Moore) not wrong about President Obama’s true feelings. Years before taking the White House, Obama told a union crowd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpAyan1fXCE), “I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer, universal healthcare plan.”

Other supporters of the president have begun beating the drum for single-payer — with Obamacare serving as a way station on the path there. In January, The New Republic published an article entitled “How Obamacare Actually Paves the Way Toward Single Payer (http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116105/obamacare-will-lead-single-payer-michael-moore).” The article was even filed under the header “Trojan Horse.”

Even the Daily Kos recognizes the fraud but as America's Pravda they applaud the fraud and his plan.

But, I'm sure you're right.
