STUDY: HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS UP 90% IN NH BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE
Concord - An independent study released today shows that health care premiums are "skyrocketing" and have increased 90% in New Hampshire because of ObamaCare. Forbes Magazine reports that premiums "are showing the sharpest increases perhaps ever" because of a "combination of four factors set in motion by ObamaCare: Commercial underwriting restrictions, the age bands that don't allow insurers to vary premiums between young and old beneficiaries based on the actual costs of providing the coverage, the new excise taxes being levied on insurance plans, and new benefit designs."
"This survey confirms that ObamaCare is an unmitigated disaster that is raising the cost of health care for the middle class. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Governor Maggie Hassan and Representatives Annie Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter have enthusiastically championed ObamaCare and they are directly responsible for imposing it on New Hampshire," said NHGOP Chairman Jennifer Horn. "Senator Shaheen could have stopped this disastrous law. Instead she chose to vote in lockstep with President Obama as she has done 99 percent of the time. Thanks to her, working families are losing their health insurance, paying more for coverage, and being forced to give up their doctors. Senator Shaheen should be ashamed of herself and apologize for repeatedly lying to her constituents about the disastrous consequences of this terrible law."

When future insurance premiums go up does that mean we have a tax increase? Who then has been given the authority to raise our premiums/ taxes ? Congress or the Insurance companies? Remember ACA was ratified after the supreme court Justices said ACA was a TAX.Senator Shaheen you destroyed our health care system. We can't keep our doctors, we can't keep our insurances . premiums haven't gone down. we can't even keep our own hospitals.
you helped the president sell this lie to the American people , its time for you to step down. This is not free market healthcare...this is federal control of the free market, Crony capitalism didn't work for fascist and it won't work in New Hampshire or America.
