As to the health insurance, yes, its going to go up for most and with higher deductible and premiums. All the rhetoric now meets the pavement.

It's not really the insurers that are causing the cost rise, its the systemic imbalances and cost shifting - by taking cost shifting out, we can reduce the cost for each person who is actually paying.
Related to the topic of Obamacare, cost inflation has actually slowed down the last few years. So that makes basically everyone complaining about Obamacare costs a big fat liar.

What about this jackass Armstrong's reasoning, in light of the current numbers? How about Papa John?
Armstrong is an ass, but that goes well beyond the whole health care thing and his excuse is foolish.
"However, would you be making the same point if the numbers were different? Fox News would be having a field day."
Well, no, I couldn't make the point if the numbers were different as my point relies on the actual numbers and not some made up crap.
I don't watch Fox News nor MSNBC or CNN as I am not fond of pundit television, so I have no opinion or trend on what they are saying.
Given what has been happening with Medicaid, I don't see this a temporary phenomenon.
