Forbes: California Individual Health Premiums Will Skyrocket Up to 146% Because of Obamacare

May 31, 2013 at 2:43pm

In reply to ChickenTrain.

I’m in California and my plan was not even close to the cheapest plan. My premiums are already up 92% since Obamacare was signed due to the phased in mandates. I’ve been getting increase notices every 6 months instead of less than once a year for the 5 years before Obamacare, so I expect it’ll be closer to 110% by November. Had they continued as they were going, I’d have only gotten a 37% increase by now.

Mine (in California) are up 92% since Obamacare was signed due to the phased in mandates. And I’ve been getting increase notices twice a year instead of less than once a year in the 5 years before Obamacare. So by the time there’s full implementation, I expect I’ll be paying over 100% more than I was. Had they stayed on the same trajectory as they were, they’d have only gone up 37%.
Shock Report: Accused Fort Hood Shooter Paid $270K+ While in Prison

Who cares about the pay? Why hasn’t this guy been tried in the 3 1/2 years since then? The guilty verdict stops the pay and puts this guy away or under for good. And that should have happened pretty quickly since there is zero room for doubt on who did this.
This Teen’s Invention Means You Could Charge Your Cellphone in Less Than 30 Seconds

The second sentence is wrong. The capacitor charges quickly, it doesn’t charge the phone quickly. As in, you don’t put one in a phone and then are able to charge the battery quickly, it replaces the battery and can be charged extremely quickly. The only limitation is they don’t hold much of a charge, until I guess now.
‘This Is Tyranny’: MSNBC Hosts Lambaste Obama Admin, IRS Over ‘Unspeakable’ Targeting of Conservatives

They’re trying to immunize themselves. They know the best way to try to get rid of the story is to have several prominent liberals come up owing taxes after an audit. By criticizing this, it would look too coincidental if they were those who were audited.
Dem. Senator: Threatening to Nullify Fed Gun Laws Is Like Opposing Desegregation

I see, and what is his opinion of sanctuary cities and state marijuana laws that basically nullify federal laws?
L.A. Politicians Move to Block Sale of Newspaper to Koch Brothers — Say it Would Be the ‘End of Journalism’

May 2, 2013 at 8:21pm

Politicians trying to pick who owns a newspaper. If they do end up with it, will the politicans find some regulatory way to shut the paper down like Hugo did to a TV station in Venezuela?
Student Punished, Charged With a Felony After He ‘Tried to Do the Right Thing’ When He Forgot His Shotgun Was in His Truck

Just about every day, there is a new example of why the public school monopoly on education dollars should end. Liberals want public money, loans, grants, etc. so students can go to private universities, but want an absolute monopoly on that money when it really matters, K-12 education.
MSNBC’s Boston Bombing Coverage Lost Them Viewers – Was Partisanship in Covering Islamist Angle to Blame?

I’m glad they found a male hospital nurse from Colorado for an opinion of how far left MSNBC is(n’t) and on the future of Fox News. I was just thinking those male nurses really know what they’re talking about when it comes to cable news.
Puerto Rico Narrowly Votes to Become 51st State (And What Has Obama Said About It?)

Bring them in. See what they think when they start having to comply with regulations from the FDA, DOT, DOE, Department of Labor, EPA, ATF, Department of the Interior, and all the other regulations they do not have to deal with now. And get ready for all those lawyers suing for ADA discrimination by businesses. I’m sure they have to comply with some, but I’m pretty sure their restaurants and other businesses aren’t in compliance with all the federal laws. Oh and then federal income taxes. That would be on top of their local taxes. Good luck, 51st state.
