I read an article a few months back that talked about why the premiums for insurance have gone up so much under Obamacare. The problem is that they were shocked by how many of the new people with insurance used their insurance thus costing them more money and causing them to raise premiums.

How could they not see that coming? The people who didn't have insurance before didn't have it for a reason. Sure, there were a small number of people who just didn't want to pay for insurance, but most of them were people either too poor to get it or with pre-existing conditions so now that they have it they are damn sure going to use it.

None of this will change. Obamacare does nothing to lower the actual costs of healthcare so premiums will continue to rise. I have said before and still believe this is just the first step in us ending up with some sort of single payer system.
