Double Down: Obamacare Will Increase Avg. Individual-Market Insurance Premiums By 99% For Men, 62% For Women - Forbes
9/25/2013
For months now, we’ve been waiting to hear how much Obamacare will drive up the cost of health insurance for people who purchase coverage on their own. Last night, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services finally began to provide some data on how Americans will fare on Obamacare’s federally-sponsored insurance exchanges. HHS’ press release is full of happy talk about how premiums will be “lower than originally expected.” But the reality is starkly different.
Based on a Manhattan Institute analysis of the HHS numbers, Obamacare will increase underlying insurance rates for younger men by an average of 97 to 99 percent, and for younger women by an average of 55 to 62 percent. Worst off is North Carolina, which will see individual-market rates triple for women, and quadruple for men.
...premiums are now going to be the same for men and women.
How about a link that shows this.
Just that IF ''liberals think the public should pay for women's sex lives'' as you stated was the case, then you should also note that 'liberals think the public should pay for men's sex lives' too.... she ain't having sex alone and getting pregnant all by her lonesome... so why single the ''woman'' out?So let the man pay for it ffs! Whatever ditzy point you're trying to make is way beyond me.they ain't having sex that gets them pregnant without the man's 100% involvement....so I guess the public is paying for the man's sex life too, eh?Because liberals think the public should pay for women's sex lives.
Avik Roy, the author of this opinion piece is anything but "mainstream". He was healthcare advisor to Romney in the last election. Ezra Klein basically destroys Avik Roy's arguements in the Washinton Post.
There's a reason you didn't provide a link nor did you elaborate.
Because it's all murky.
The Real Reason Obamacare Won't Work
Link for those who want the actual story. Ezra Klein concedes his own point and tries to make it look like his opponent is only against Obamacare because it doesn't go far enough.
Wonktalk: Can Avik Roy and Ezra Klein find common ground on Obamacare?
Remember that the Obamacare advocates don't want you to have the actual information, just their spin on it.
it has everything to do with right wing bloggers ...I don't recall anybody bitching here when they were much higher for women than men.
Then you are ignorant. It's even against the law.

I. Don't. Recall. Anyone. Here. Bitching. When. Premiums. Were. Much. Higher. For. Women. Than. For. Men.
Your response has not jack shit to do with my comment.
Because liberals think the public should pay for women's sex lives.There shouldn't be. Women, especially in their child-bearing years, are far mores taxing on health resources.
Why shouldn't this cost more?
So let the man pay for it ffs!

First thought......the premiums were higher for YOUNG women to begin with.....now they are the same. Thus increasing more for YOUNG men than young women. Is that the problem?
Overall, for young people, the premiums may be higher, but subsidies will be available to cover the increase for those who meet the income requirement. More bitching about nothing.
Next.
...premiums are now going to be the same for men and women.

It's U.S. law now, thanks to the ACA. Gender rating is out. Only four factors can be considered for individual rating and gender isn't one of them.
42 USC § 300gg - Fair health insurance premiums
(a)  1 Prohibiting discriminatory premium rates
(1) In general
With respect to the premium rate charged by a health insurance issuer for health insurance coverage offered in the individual or small group market—
(A) such rate shall vary with respect to the particular plan or coverage involved only by—
(i) whether such plan or coverage covers an individual or family;
(ii) rating area, as established in accordance with paragraph (2);
(iii) age, except that such rate shall not vary by more than 3 to 1 for adults (consistent with section 300gg–6 (c) of this title); and
(iv) tobacco use, except that such rate shall not vary by more than 1.5 to 1
Did Congress change that or did he just pencil-whip it?
Did Congress change that or did he just pencil-whip it?
Congress changed it. There was this big thing in the news a couple years ago--it's called the Affordable Care Act--that reformed the health insurance and health care systems. Made all the newspapers.
One of the things it did is change the way insurers can rate health plans. Charging women different premiums for the same plan solely on the basis of their gender will no longer be allowed.
Interestingly enough, lots of people are bitching about Obamacare, but it hasn't even been started yet.
Obamacare doesn't start until October 1st.
