My Secondary insurance is being dropped in Dec.  I now have to look for a new Secondary insurance again.  This will make three years in a row.

Where my 2500$ I was told we would get.

The Affordable Care Act was supposed to make health care more affordable, but a study of insurance policies before and after Obamacare shows that average premiums have skyrocketed, for some groups by as much as 78 percent.

Average insurance premiums in the sought-after 23-year-old demographic rose most dramatically, with men in that age group seeing an average 78.2 percent price increase before factoring in government subsidies, and women having their premiums rise 44.9 percent, according to a report by HealthPocket scheduled for release Wednesday.

The study, which was shared Tuesday with The Washington Times, examined average health insurance premiums before the implementation of Obamacare in 2013 and then afterward in 2014. The research focused on people of three ages — 23, 30 and 63 — using data for nonsmoking men and women with no spouses or children.

Anybody who knows anything about insurance knew covering preexisting benefits and other giveaways was not going to cause the price to increase qualifies as a LIV. If a company is required to insure a house that is on fire then the ultimate cost of that product is going to increase.

I supported finding a way to get insurance for people with pre-exsisting conditions, but not a complete overhaul of the health care system.

Since we will all have a "condition" sooner or later, I think that is reasonable.  However, each issue should have been worked on one by one, rather than 5000 pages of a MESS.

I have had insurance for over 50 years.   What pre-exsisting conditions would I have that is not covered.

None if you keep the same policy. However, having to move to a new plan opens up the the "preexisting window".

My understand as long a your health policy don't laps between moving to a new plan it stays the same.

That's easy. Each state sets up a high risk pool.

That is probably true if it is a group plan through an employer. I was referring to individual plans.
