Well, duh. I can tell you my rates have gone up as much as 35% in a single year, with several back-to-back double digit increases.
There's nothing magical about Obamacare - increasing the number of healthy people on insurance rolls can only do so much. The insurer's margin and the cost of the underlying commodity are still very much in control of premium rates.
