no deflection, Obama doesn't set the states prices ...the problem is you're blinded by partisan talking points... Democratic controlled states have absolutely nothing to do with the way the state sets prices for their healthcare ... are you taking into consideration the subsidy a family will get when you quote 24% increases ? I read an estimated 6 million people will pay less than 100 bucks a month for a 300 dollar a month policy after they receive their subsidy ... kinda shoots your 24% increase in the ass doesn't it?
deal with it, its a law.

You obviously did not look very closely at the interactive map from the article I posted because if you did you would see that subsidies were factored into their projections. Since your too lazy to look it up for yourself, I will post a link to the methodology used in their projections.

Those subsidies are only estimated to help a little over 6 million uninsured. There are currently an estimated 48 million uninsured today. That is a very small percentage that these subsidies will actually help. And these low cost insurance plans will only cover about 70% of their medical expenses, on average, leaving them responsible for the remaining 30%. How can they afford that, if they needed help to pay their premiums to begin with? And they will be limited to what doctors and hospitals they can use.
The authors of Obamacare are also counting on the young uninsured who are healthy to buy healthcare plans on the exchanges to help offset the costs of the older people whose healthcare will be costly. What happens when a lot of those young healthy uninsured simply refuse to buy a health care plan and just simply pay a small penalty instead?
Like Senator Baucus, one of the authors of Obamacare, said recently, the implementation of Obamacare is becoming a train wreck. And we will all be dealing with it very soon.
