How's Your Health Insurance? Mine's Up 25 Percent Since ObamaCare Passed

ObamaCare passed in March 2010, and since then my costs for health insurance for my family have gone up, and up again.

My first increase was effective in May of 2011, a 6.7 percent increase in the premium.

The second increase was effective just a few days ago on May 1, 2012, a whopping 17.2 percent rise in the cost.

Overall, my rates are up 25.1 percent for a plan that discounted a recent doctor-ordered 4 hour emergency room visit and follow-up care less than 23 percent.

Owie!
