CaféAuLait;2850371 said:Health Care Reform Blamed for Huge Hike in Premiums
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal sent a letter to Insurance Commissioner Thomas Sullivan on Oct. 6, asking what he called "excessive" increases were approved without full consideration of all the facts. His letter mentioned rate increases for both Anthem and Aetna.
The state has given Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield the go ahead to raise premiums by as much as 47 percent for some members, and says health care reform is the reason why"
The new rates took effect Oct. 1, and include increases from 19 percent all the way to 47 percent depending on the individual, the Hartford Courant reported.
Sullivan responded to Blumenthal saying the new rates included "very rich benefits" mandated by federal law.

Nancy Pelosi: "Your costs will never go up and your benefits will never go down."
Some people have no contact with the real world.
Who could really take that arrogant elitist moron Pelosi seriously except another arrogant, elitist moron? She is proof positive just how stupid liberals believe people to be though -sit right there and tell people she is guaranteeing us all a free lunch and it won't cost one dime more than we pay now and then Obama threw in another lie by insisting it won't add one dime to our deficit. This is EXACTLY what people were insisting would happen while Pelosi and Obama LIED to us insisting it would not. We must ALL pay more for these changes, it is IMPOSSIBLE for it to cost even the same much less cost less! You can't cover MILLIONS MORE people, you can't cover people with pre-existing conditions and you can't provide unlimited lifetime benefits without it costing SOMEONE. And that "someone" is EVERYONE ELSE!
These people are in reality SERIAL LIARS. Always have been, always will be - and they will tell whatever lie they think people will swallow at the moment because they really do believe people are cows to be led around by their nose, should do what THEY tell them to do and believe what THEY tell them to believe. Its why Obama tried to sell his stimulus bill (political crony payoffs) with his LIE about "shovel ready" projects. Yet less than two years later says there is no such thing???? Gee, why didn't he know that when he was trying to sell it I wonder? Its because that lie worked for what he wanted to do then -but it won't work to manipulate people this time for his next spending spree. "Shovel ready" projects won't work for this one -so POOF -only NOW is there no such thing! As his critics were insisting ALL ALONG when he sold us that pack of shit the last time. The ability of liberals to suddenly change lanes and drop one of their lies for a different one just takes the breath away sometimes.
We all heard Obama's excuse for why Democrats are not expected to do well in elections. Oooh, people are "hard wired" to not think rationally when they are scared?????? (Yet this is someone who believes in evolution, right? How is responding and thinking irrationally a good self-defense mechanism when scared?? That is a guaranteed species wipe-out and not a pathway to the top of the food chain if it were true!) People aren't scared -they are pissed off. No doubt he thinks they were thinking clearly when they elected him but NOW after seeing what he has done to our country, Obama thinks it is IRRATIONAL THINKING to vote against his agenda and throw Democrats out? Wow, the ARROGANCE of these liberals is just so mind boggling and revolting.
