    FYI, I’m a full-time employee for a large non-profit corporation and our health insurance premiums will go up 300% starting in Jan of next year, for the same coverage. Getting pretty scary to scrape up the difference, even if you have just a few prescriptions, see doctors as little as possible, and try to scrimp and save everywhere you go. Even groceries, and we don’t eat fancy at our home, have gone up tremendously for generic everything!

    My premiums have went up slightly too, as it has been for the last 30+ yrs. ain’t got nothing to do with AHC..(that’s Obamacare for you Repubs ) if your insurance went up 80% which I doubt that it did, and you work for the largest employer in this area, then you and your fellow employees have been royally screwed over by your employer, not AHC…

    He loves Obama THIS election….but, watch, next election cycle , he’ll try to buddy up with Ron Paul… Chameleon.

    Maybe you should be asking why Rick Scott took away the state insurance regulators power to reject rate increases that are too high, ecambia voter, instead of blaming Obama. The national average on health insurance premium increases is 7%, lower than the average annual increases before Obamacare became the law, with 77 more providers set to join the exchanges next year.

    “Voters must present a valid photo and signature ID and must vote at their home precinct on Election Day” As it should be NATIONWIDE.

    I encourage everyone to get out and vote. I work for one of the largest employers in the county and have just learned my health insurance premium will increase almost 80% starting Jan 2015. The Obama administration is trying to keep this type of information from the voters until after the midterm elections. I do not love Obama, as Charlie Crist says that he does. Google it and see the video for yourself.
