Health reform plans mean massive hike in premiums

Below is a statement from the CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield.  He speaks the truth.  A truth that should send chills down your spine.  We have received similar information from our insurance company.   This fact alone is enough to boggle my mind.  It is enraging that people like Ben Nelson, who will not see this type of increase, can pass legislation crippling my budget and family.

In the recently released Nebraska BLUES Reform Impact Study, we reported that insurance rates for Nebraska’s youngest and healthiest could increase by a stunning 192 percent. For middle-aged Nebraskans of average health, the increase could be up to 82 percent. The one bright spot would be for 60-year-old, less healthy couples. Their rates could actually go down in many cases.
