North Carolina Couple: ObamaCare Has Doubled Our Premiums

‘We’re paying $998.70 for two people’

North Carolina Couple: Obamacare Has Doubled Our Premiums (Washington Free Beacon)

A North Carolina couple’s health insurance costs have doubled due to the lack of young enrollees in Obamacare.

A certain percentage of young enrollees is needed to offset the higher costs of treatments that older enrollees need. The Obama Administration failed to reach their goal of enrolling 50 percent of people 34 years and younger. Only 32 percent of Obamacare enrollees are young Americans, leaving other Americans’ insurance rates to see a huge hike.

“We pay $998.70 for two people,” Amanda LaRoque told WTVD. Her and her husband own their own business and buy their own health insurance. She is angry at the sudden premium increase by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina.
