Didn't our fearless leader promise that rates would go down because of his fantastic healthcare law?

Health care rates could increase by as much as 102 percent in Wisconsin under Obamacare according to an analysis released by the MacIver Institute on Friday.

MacIver released data earlier in the week that showed the average health care premiums for three different groups: a 27 year-old, a 50 year-old, and a family of four. The free-market think tank then compared the rates to what these same groups can find on the current private sector market.

Current insurance rates are available through eHealth, a website that allows individuals to search for health insurance from a variety of insurers all in one place. MacIver calculated the average rates available in each group and compared them to data available on the HealthCare.gov website.

The analysis shows that rates will spike, especially for young individuals in Wisconsin.

A 27 year old in Brown County will see rates more than double beginning in 2014. That same age group will see rates increase 93.6 percent in Madison, 91.2 percent in Milwaukee, and 72.6 percent in Eau Claire.

Bet they are even underestimating, by a lot.

waiting for a certain forum poster to post here defending ACA...in 3, 2, 1...

But rates were always going up, right?

Rates go up annually but not by 102% in one year. Rate increases are usually 4-7% annually.

Just a chance to take a shot at Walker. You are dependable at least.
How about their fault for being a part of Obama's World.

Damn him and his budget surplus and wanting to give his residents a tax break!

The whole thing is a disaster and will only ever hurt people.

Health premiums are a state issue. Take it up with the GOP state gov of Ws if it bothers you.

The Chosen One has changed that I am afraid. Healthcare should be a state issue, but with Obamacare it is a federal issue now. These increases are the result of a federal law. Surely a little Obamabot like you can understand that.....well, maybe not I guess.

States still control what insurance policies are sold in the state.

Yup. And yet somehow the people who warned of this will get blamed

I know quite a few people signing up. I may be in a year or two myself. I am excited about the prospect of affordable health care.

Your healthcare might be affordable if you're healthy, but your insurance premiums will be sky high.

I have subsidised insurance by my former employer. But for those I know who are looking and older, it is much cheaper than what they have or what they were quoted before.
