Since Obamcare was enacted my premiums have risen like crazy.
My current premium (same policy I have had since 2002) has went up from $550 a month for a family of four in 2009 all the way up to over $1,000 a month for a family of 3 (one less person).
My policy is through Blue Cross/Blue Shield of South Carolina. I moved to Vegas in 2008 but my policy is still written in South Carolina.
I went on the "exchange" last year because in 2014 my premium had already risen to over $900...and some wise ass on GFY told me that I should go to the exchange.
I could have gotten a policy for around $50 a month cheaper than the one I already have...but with a $5,000 deductible.
This SUCKS.

The area I was referring to just meant an area on the page. There is a graph in the middle of the page.
You got hose. There is no question about it. I am just saying on average the average person has seen their premiums rise about the same under Obamacare as they did in the 10 years before it.
The thing is most people don't realize it because they get their insurance through their employer who pays all or most of it.
