One of the many reasons President Barack Obama and Democrats have used to justify implementing government-run health care is a cost savings benefit to the consumer and to the taxpayer.
According to Jeffrey Young over at The Hill, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) find ObamaCare would increase insurance premiums “by 27 percent to 30 percent for individuals and up to 3 percent for those enrolled in small-business insurance plans.”
“‘Average premiums per policy in the nongroup market in 2016 would be roughly $5,800 for single policies and $15,200 for family policies under the proposal, compared with roughly $5,500 for single policies and $13,100 for family policies under current law,’ the report says.”
