obamacare’s Cost Crisis: Painfully High Premiums
THE ISSUE: obamacare premiums, which are expected to rise an average of 25 percent in 39 states next year.
What a revelation: The Obama administration confirmed there will be an average increase of 25 percent in consumer health-insurance premiums (“O’Care Flatlines,” Oct. 25).
We all knew this was coming, despite President Obama’s claims that his health-care program was working.
Not only did he lie about keeping your doctor, he lied about keeping your insurance plan. He also lied about everyone’s premiums going down, when many are actually going through the roof.
What’s going to happen now, besides Obama trying to increase the subsidies? Who’s going to pay for these? Ordinary, tax paying Americans, that’s who. Alan Brooks Brooklyn

The Affordable Care Act is no longer affordable, but fear not — liberals have a solution: a single-payer system.
Under this system, the government pays all medical bills and is totally in charge. Problem solved — except for where the money comes from.
People complaining about soaring taxes will be met with fewer bene- fits and longer wait times.

obamacare is dying as health-insurance companies are abandoning the government’s exchanges.
Was this the plan all along — to have obamacare fail so we can eventually have single-payer?
Since the law allows parents to keep children on their own policy until age 26, young people don’t have to sign up for their own insurance, thus increasing the financial burden on older Americans when they buy insurance. George Travis Islip
Why don’t we put every politician on obamacare and give their insurance plans to the disadvantaged? Craig Gunther Toms River, NJ
