Kelly from California Can’t Afford ObamaCare Thanks to Her Higher Premiums

“I was told in a letter my premium would raise 23.1% or 28.00 bringing my $121 premium to $149! That was to take effect October 2013. So, at least I had a year to prepare and perhaps shop around for a different insurance company. Then just two months ago, I got another premium increase letter stating they were going to increase my premium in July 2013! How is ObamaCare looking out for people like ME? The reasons they give every single time for these increases: 

-Increased consumer demand for services
-raising medical and prescription drug costs
-advances in medical technology
-changes in benefits and/or taxes required by state and federal law

So, far I can say that none of these apply to me.  Am I supposed to run out and work TWO jobs as a single person just to afford my health insurance? When will it stop? How is ObamaCare helping students like me?”
