it is easy to be happy for something when someone else is paying for it.

let them pay the 40%+ increases I have had in the past few years because of the ACA and see if they like it then.
ol yea a lot of people had to switch to lower plans in order not to pay more money.

still waiting on my 2500 premium reduction promised by Obama. I haven't seen it yet.

that first chart on the page says it all

there are more people that have been negatively affected.

First sentence dude.

This survey reports on the views and experiences of people purchasing health insurance coverage in the non-group market.

 

[Greenbeard]

There goes the hand-wringing over networks. People seem to like their networks.

And why not?

Access is similar, but quality may be better in narrow hospital networks

Hospital networks in Covered California are narrower than their counterparts in the commercial market, but geographic access to care is not much different — and quality is comparable or better, a new study shows.

This last measure “indicates that the average quality in the (Covered California) networks is actually higher than in the commercial networks,” the study states. "It seems plausible that insurers are deliberately excluding some hospitals that have not been designated as top performers.“

First sentence dude.

some of those people possibly get subsidies.
if they don't get subsidies then this is a pretty dishonest posting.
the majority of people are not happy with Obamacare as they have seen their insurance premiums go through the roof.

These people are buying better quality plans outside of the exchange if they are not going through the exchange.
which is no reflection on obamacare at all.

Now There Can Be No Doubt: Obamacare Has Increased Non-Group Premiums In Nearly All States - Forbes

how is a 24% increase not going through the roof? please explain? you don't get to count subsidies.
insurance premiums have been climbing by huge amounts since this bill was put into affect.

Not that some will care, and of course rates increases may be decreased, and I certainyl expect some nonsense in reply from some... but:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/health-insurers-seek-hefty-rate-213400612.html

In New Mexico, market leader Health Care Service Corp. is asking for an average jump of 51.6% in premiums for 2016. The biggest insurer in Tennessee, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, has requested an average 36.3% increase. In Maryland, market leader CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield wants to raise rates 30.4% across its products. Moda Health, the largest insurer on the Oregon health exchange, seeks an average boost of around 25%.

All of them cite high medical costs incurred by people newly enrolled under the Affordable Care Act.

“This year, health plans have a full year of claims data to understand the health needs of the [health insurance] exchange population, and these enrollees are generally older and often managing multiple chronic conditions,” said Clare Krusing, a spokeswoman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, an industry group. “Premiums reflect the rising cost of providing care to individuals and families, and the explosion in prescription and specialty drug prices is a significant factor.”

For 2015 insurance plans, when insurers had only a little information about the health of their new customers, big insurers tended to make increases of less than 10%, while smaller insurers tried offering lower rates to build market share.

Most of us knew that was happening, despite some proponents of the law not believing it. Shrug, they still won't believe it. Of course they won't supply any evidence, just their opinion.

Greg Thompson, a spokesman for Health Care Service Corp., the carrier seeking a 51.6% increase in New Mexico, said the proposed rates reflected high medical costs, and, like everyone else’s, were based on actuarial science. “There’s really no incentive for us to overprice,” he said.

This article assumes the plans under Obamacare didn't change. Obamacare banned minimal healthcare plans which naturally does increase premiums. By the way, Forbes is completely biased against Obamacare. Also, it only includes non-group healthcare plans.

You will never get the whole story from them. Estimates of the rate of increase differs wildly even among conservatives because it depends on how you are doing your calculations.

Here is a quote from one of my politifact links:
"The studies we saw that cited larger increases were generally based on the individual or small-group market and not the category of large-group employer plans. Some predictions that came from Florida officials were based on a hypothetical plan that wasn’t even for sale in the state."
Health insurance costs are skyrocketing under Obamacare, Republican Party says | PolitiFact Florida

The facts are that employer plan costs rose only 3% (basically inflation) on 2014. 46% of people who joined the Obamacare exchanges found their new plans cheaper compared to 39% who found them more expensive. More mainstream studies show a 7% increase in individual premiums.

A whopping 75% of the people surveyed (1) get SUBSIDIES, or (2) have NON-ACA policies. ????

Of COURSE they're happy with the cost. Duh. And because someone else is paying for the policies for most of them, they are able to buy the good policies, so it follows that they're happy with the coverage. At least they're grateful for the handout.

 

[humbolt]

Guess what?!? Health insurance providers like the ACA! It's the only health insurance game in town. In other news, the earth orbits the sun. Meanwhile the ACA remains unpopular with the public.
