Health insurance premiums go up? How could that possibly be?
Comrades, I have tragic news. Our enemies are raising health insurance premiums to embarrass Infallible Comrade Obama, who foretold the opposite.
Fortunately, rate increases have been small (only a little more than 22 percent). The rate increases could not have been foreseen by the The Infallible One. After all, why should premiums increase merely because providers may no longer charge co-pays or deductibles for certain procedures, or because coverage limits have been drastically increased, or because "children" are allowed to remain on their parents' policies for a few more years than before (up to age 26), or because many new bureaucracies have been created?
No, these things could not be responsible for the rate increases, or The Infallible One would have warned us.
