ObamaCare Implosion: Deductibles Rising Faster Than Premiums & Wages – Majority of Co-Ops Fail

ObamaCare Deductibles(Kaiser) Since 2010 Deductibles for All Workers Have Risen Almost 3X
as Fast as Premiums and About 7X as Fast as Wages & Inflation

Since 2010 both the share of workers deductibles and the size of those deductibles have increased sharply. These two trends result in a 67% increase in deductibles since 2010 much faster than the rise in single premiums (24%) and about seven times the rise in workers wages (10%) and general inflation (9%)

“With deductibles rising so much faster than premiums and wages, its no surprise that consumers have not felt the slowdown in health spending,” Kaiser Family Foundation President/CEO Drew Altman said.

In related ObamaCare news, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, that a majority of ObamaCare insurance co-ops (12 of 23) have now failed and their $1.24 Billion of taxpayer loans have all but vaporized. As more fail, nearly a million Americans may lose insurance coverage as the contagion from their failures spreads.
