Time Flies…But For American Families, Costs Have Only Gone Up In The Year Since ObamaCare Was Upheld

June 28, 2013

  • It’s hard to believe that a year ago interns were running across the steps of the Supreme Court handing out opinions that showed ObamaCare was upheld as a tax.

  • Since then, healthcare premiums have risen, job creation has slowed, and polls show the law is as unpopular as it’s ever been.

  • Democrats like Nancy Pelosi can try and tell us how “fabulous” it is, but one year later, the American people are still reeling from this disastrous law.

Under Obamacare, Health Insurance Premiums For Families Are Now About $3,000 Higher, Instead Of $2,500 Lower As President Obama Promised. “Although President Obama repeatedly claimed that health-insurance premiums for a family would be $2,500 lower by the end of his first term, they are actually about $3,000 higher—a spread of about $5,500 per family.” (Merrill Matthews and Mark E. Litow, “ObamaCare’s Health-Insurance Sticker Shock,” The Wall Street Journal, 1/13/2013)
