They're called premiums...they go up every year. No doubt they'll go up 2015.

THEY CAN'T PASS ON THE COST OF TAXES UNLESS THEIR CLAIMS GO UP!

There is no "section" about passing costs on - just another piece of made up right wing baloney.

You should tell it to the CBO. They're the ones that said the taxes imposed will pass through to consumers....as higher premiums.

Do you really believe that insurance plans that now have been forced to go to high deductibles like $5,000, $7,500, and even some $15,000 per person, and that only have to pay 60% of costs will be better than that bottom 10% just going to the ER and leaving the other 90% out of this mess? This began changing private plans, FOR THE WORSE, about two years back, as they braced and moved things to maximize profits. Those under 40 will not sign up. And everyone else is screwed over. This idiotic plan will help such a minimum of the population, that no one should have passed it without major changes. It will be a disaster.

Medicare for everyone would be better ... 4% Overhead rate instead of 15-20% - 96% would be returned!!!
