When Obama added 100,000 government administrators to the healthcare system. what other alternative is there?
You Democrats can thank Pelosi, Reid, and all the rest of your "pass it to see what is in it" idiots.
It's not just Obamacare policies. We have an Aetna policy through the company we work for and ours is going up double digits too!
Until the government reigns in the insurance companies, this is just going to continue.
I don't think it has anything to do with Obamacare and it's all to do with letting the ins. companies run wild and do whatever they want.
