The unaffordable Affordable Care Act: Obamacare is already infecting America's economy
Someone call the doctor. The side effects of President Obama's Affordable Care Act are becoming apparent, and so is the irony. This week, nonprofit research group The Kaiser Family Foundation found that, despite the title, "affordable" health care premiums have risen steeply under the law - with the annual premium for family coverage through an employer reaching $15,073 in 2011, an increase of 9% over the previous year. Or as Politico put it: Premiums are now costing families as much as a new car.
(Or, for that matter, the R's, and you probably shouldn't call a doctor either. Just take an asprin and hope for the best.)
