I read something recently that made me laugh. They said the reason premiums are going up so much is that Obamacare and/or insurance companies didn't realize how many services people would actually be using. They were shocked when they added millions of people into the system with preexisting conditions and no prior insurance then those people actually used the insurance.
I am one of them. Before Obamacare I had to pay for my medication out of pocket. If I bought it from a local pharmacy it would be about $450 per month. I was able to buy it online for about $95 per month (same exact medicine made by the same manufacturer). Now that they can't turn me down for the preexisting condition I get my medicine at the local pharmacy because it is faster and easier and costs me less.
So suddenly the system got flooded with people who now have insurance and are using it and it is like nobody ever told them this would happen.
