Hey, does anyone remember how many times President Obama promised that under his plan health insurance premiums would go down by about $2500 per family? It didn?t quite work out that way. Gee, who could have predicted this?
During his first run for president, Barack Obama made one very specific promise to voters: He would cut health insurance premiums for families by $2,500, and do so in his first term.
But it turns out that family premiums have increased by more than $3,000 since Obama?s vow, according to the latest annual Kaiser Family Foundation employee health benefits survey.
Premiums for employer-provided family coverage?rose $3,065 ? 24% ? from 2008 to 2012, the Kaiser survey found. Even if you start counting in 2009, premiums have climbed $2,370.
What?s more, premiums climbed faster in Obama?s four years than they did in the previous four under President Bush, the survey data show.
Read the whole thing.
