it's only a matter of time before either the insurance mandate gets overturned or those suckers get tired of getting fucked and stop buying insurance which each year becomes less and less affordable, and then the whole thing will implode...

The reason for that price increase is two-fold. One, as you mentioned, Obamacare does nothing to actually lower the prices of drugs and actual healthcare. Two, there are now 20 million people who have health insurance that didn't have it before Obamacare. However, they grossly underestimated how much those people would use it. There was a reason those people didn't have health insurance before. They either have pre-existing conditions and were denied coverage or they were offered coverage but too poor to be able to afford it. Now they have it and they are using it. Those who make too much to get much government help for the cost are the ones that are shouldering the brunt of that with much higher premiums.
