Has any family had their premium lowered by $2500/annum as BHO promised?

I have not heard of anyone I have spoken to that their premiums went down, in fact they have gone up, I was paying $6,000 in top notch health insurance and now I pay $2,500 more. I want to know how that miserable rodent claims he pays zero in premiums.

Whatever the numbers might be, it will be very interesting to see what the Republicans will use in their 2016 campaign. If Romney runs again will he propose his brand of Romneycare? Will he again praise Israel's socialist health care??

This is going to get interesting.

I can tell you all one thing, I have always maintained you cannot put a price on your health and well being. It bugged me that I had to pay more, but honestly I would never swap a top notch health insurance plan that has zero deductibles, zero copay, covers everything with no pre-existing conditions including vision and dental and without network restrictions while having access to the latest technology health care has to offer, for the sake of costing less.

If you cannot afford health insurance ObamaCare works fine, if you can, you're gonna pay more to carry the rest, personally, I don't have an issue with it, others do.

But what about the death panels?

Obamacare cost to be 20% less than forecast, budget office says

Source: LA Times

President Obama's healthcare law will cost about 20% less over the next decade than originally projected, the Congressional Budget Office reported Monday, in part because lower-than-expected healthcare inflation has led to smaller premiums.

So far, the number of uninsured Americans has dropped by about 12 million. By the end of 2016, 24 million fewer Americans will lack insurance, the nonpartisan budget office forecast.

Excluding immigrants in the country illegally, who are not eligible for coverage under the law, only about 8% of Americans under age 65 will lack insurance by the time Obama leaves office, the budget office's latest report on the law estimates.

Of the Americans who will remain uninsured once enrollment has fully ramped up, the budget office estimates that about 30% will be people in the U.S. without legal authorization. An additional 10% will be people who are too poor to buy insurance on the exchanges, but who live in states that have not expanded Medicaid. The remaining 60% will be people who choose to not buy insurance or enroll in Medicaid.
