Good news, Mississippi. Your Obamacare premiums are expected to go down slightly in 2016.
For the rest of the states, I’ve got bad news.
If you live in Minnesota, you might want to sit down before looking at the graphic.

Wonder what would happen if everybody just said “NO”?
I couldn’ t think of a more deserving state than Minnesota for a 47% increase. Keep voting (D) shitheads.
You are right about Minnesotans, my family and friends back there were the biggest cheerleaders for this that you can imagine. It’s damn sure a bitter pill we all have to swallow though.
This had to happen.
Health care was, behind government, the second biggest industry in the country.
They created a formula around unions, insurance and government that gave them growth rates far in excess of inflation and steadily increasing profits for many decades. Every time it looked like they were reaching the limit of how much they could milk out of the economy, a solution was found. Using a government expansion of benefits, partnership with insurance, creation of monopolies by blocking interstate trade, or union contracts, they kept the money flowing.
By the 80’s it was becoming obvious that only brute force could convince Americans to increase how much they gave this industry every year.
The voluntary part had to be removed and people forced to buy something they didn’t want or need.
A LOT of people are saying no, and their numbers are increasing.
