HEALTHCARE.GOV LIES TO CUSTOMERS about their insurance premiums. In my earlier post, I gave some estimates of what an ObamaCare policy would cost relative to my current insurance. Anyone want to bet that those numbers were low-balled?
THE REPUBLICAN 'ESTABLISHMENT' is taking aim at Sen. Mike Lee. If they do, they'll soon find out they've bitten off much more than they can chew.
NOW AVAILABLE: prices for every insurance plan offered on Healthcare.gov. Download it now before it goes away.

I've just had time for a brief glimpse, but my best guess is a 15% decrease to a 20% increase for individual plans that (from the data available) clearly appear to be inferior to my wife's current employer-sponsored PPO plan. There are only 4 such plans to choose from, all from the same insurer. All the remaining plans are HMO plans.

NOTE: the percent rate changes I've quoted above assume the employer contribution; if the rate change were based solely on employee contributions, the rate increase would be on the order of 115%-200%.
CHRIS STIREWALT: Why the ObamaCare Crash is so Embarrassing for Liberals.
A belief in science and technology is as central to liberalism as spiritual faith is on the right. That’s not to say that there aren’t lots of religious liberals, but just that the devotion to “progress” is the central aim of the political movement for more than a century.

How crushing, then, that the most liberal president of all time would oversee the most notable technological failure by the federal government, perhaps ever.
Liberals' faith in technology is astonishingly naive. In their Star Trek 'reality world', to imagine a technology is to create it.
