Remember the ‘We’ll Lower Premiums by up to $2,500′ Promise? Take A Look at What’s
Remember the ‘We’ll Lower Premiums by up to $2,500′ Promise? Take A Look at What’s Actually Happened

Getty - Patrick Smith Much has been made of the President’s promises that, under the Affordable Health Care Act, “nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have” – that neither a change in one’s coverage nor doctor would be required. He also promised that the plan would “bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typical family.”
Well, take a look at this graph about how that promise has been kept in 2014:
So, unless you’re in all but a small handful of states, you’ve seen premiums increase from 10% to as much as 85%. One thing to note is that for New Jersey, which the graph shows as declining by 37.5 percent, the data is incomplete and the decrease is an estimate.Just ahead are two more significant events: Firstly, the 2015 premiums, which are expected to be even higher than 2014’s, will be released just after the November midterm elections. Secondly, the employer mandate kicks in at the first of the year and the ripple effect of that on existing plans, similar to the effect from last year’s individual mandate, is also yet to be known.
When it comes to Obamacare, the assurances made on the front end of the plan, when it was sold to American people and sent through Congress, have turned out to have been off by a wide margin.
Whether these effects will moderate over time still remains to be seen.
