The Devious Secret Of Obamacare

American Thinker
 

Adventures in Obamacareland, in which our protagonist is:

  • encouraged to lie and report that he did not have existing health insurance, making the number of uninsured look higher;
  • discovers new reasons to doubt the numbers of people reported as signing up for Obamacare;
  • and learns that one of the supposed reasons behind the (Un)Affordable Care Act was a total sham.

First, a little background. Bill Hobson is not my real name. My spouse was concerned that, if I used my real name, the IRS would come after us. A few years ago I would have considered such thoughts paranoid. Now, under Obama’s IRS, I suspect that she might be right.

I am a former small business owner and former journalist. I’ve had individual health insurance policies since 1989, and with the same (major) company for the last fifteen years. As with most folks, I saw my premiums go up incrementally over the years as age and health care costs rose, but nothing like what happened in the past year.

I did not want to sign up for Obamacare. But my individual policy — my spouse is covered separately — had risen from $330 a month when the administration imposed this diktat to $437 a month going into 2013, an increase which I really couldn’t afford. However, my doctor had told me I would require a medical procedure last year costing a significant amount, so I left the plan in place, planning to switch to a lower-cost, higher-deductible policy. I reckoned that this would bring my monthly premium back to the $330 range. The delay would also, I thought, allow the smoke to clear from the Obamacare power grab.

Little did I know that, when the smoke lifted, it would reveal a charred landscape.

During the course of the past year my monthly premium went from $437 a month to $551 a month, a 24% increase. The company said that these premium hikes were the direct result of Obamacare: specifically because of increased taxes and mandatory expansion of coverage imposed by Doctor O.
