ObamaCare Precipitates Premium Spike; Can’t Say We Didn’t Tell You So
6th October 2011
Washington press and political circles have been abuzz this week over the new Kaiser Family Foundation survey that found families enrolled in employer-provided health care plans have seen their premiums rise by 9 percent in just the past year, a significant increase. The Kaiser Foundation’s report attributes over 16 percent of the premium hike to ObamaCare.
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.

Are people no longer capable of doing basic math?
16% of a 9% premium hike = 1.4% of the total hike attributable to ObamaCare. Not much of a “precipitation”, in my opinion.
To what shall we attribute the other 7.6% of the hike? Socialism? Presidential greens fees? Solyndra? I’m sure the Right will find a way to blame Obama for it, somehow…
