Health Insurers in Idaho Request Premium Rate Hikes As High As 81%
Health care insurers in Idaho have requested premium rate hikes as high as 81 percent for next year, according to the state's Department of Insurance.
The five insurers serving the individual market in Idaho are Blue Cross of Idaho Health Service, Mountain Health Co-Op, PacificSource Health Plans, Regence BlueShield of Idaho, and SelectHealth.
For all plans, insurers requested rates ranging from a low of 25 percent to a high of 51 percent for a combined average statewide rate increase of 38 percent. For Obamacare's popular Silver plan, the average rate increase among all insurers was even higher at 50 percent, with one insurer requesting a high of 81 percent.
"I am deeply disappointed and frustrated to share these rates," said Dean Cameron, who directs the department. "I understand how difficult it will be for Idahoans to afford reasonable coverage, especially those without a subsidy."
Some victims of The "Affordable Care" Act (read "Obamacare) are now paying more for health insurance than for their house mortgage/tax escrow montly. For some having deciding whether to have "affordable health care" or a place to live.
Congratulations liberals (off both parties)! You're quickly achieving the goal of turning Americans into welfare drones - 'cause then they get Obamacaid (Medicaid) ffor free. Well, free to THEM but straight out of YOUR pocket.
Everything is going according to plan. When things get so horrible that everyone is complaining, the left plans to blame the right and then claim that single payer is the only answer.
Years from now, when there are super long waiting lists to obtain the mediocre care, it will be too late. If the left has their way, the day will come when the citizens are disarmed and enslaved to big government. We won't have rights and we'll resemble all the other communist countries. Socialism always leads to communism. Once one half get tired of carrying the other half, shit falls apart. To keep things going, government will be your master and tell you what to do. Liberals believe that most people are mindless sheep who want to be controlled.
