Reader's View: Don't blame Obamacare for health insurance costs
I could not have disagreed more with the July 15 letter, "Democrats, Obama have ruined health care," which argued that Obamacare caused massive premium increases in health insurance coverage.Obamacare had nothing to do with the increase described in the letter.The letter evidently was about individual health care coverage, and that coverage has always been extremely expensive.

20 million people have gained health insurance coverage because of the Affordable Care Act, new estimates show
20 million people have gained health insurance coverage because of the Affordable Care Act, new estimates show
A new report released today finds that the provisions of the Affordable Care Act have resulted in an estimated 20 million people gaining health insurance coverage between the passage of the law in 2010 and early 2016—an historic reduction in the uninsured.Those provisions include Medicaid expansion, Health Insurance Marketplace coverage, and changes in private insurance that allow young adults to stay on their parent's health insurance plans and require plans to cover people with pre-existing health conditions.The report's model controls for general economic conditions (i.e., employment status), preexisting trends, geographic location, and demographic changes, so its estimates focus on the decline in the number of uninsured Americans specifically associated with the provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

Number with private health insurance surges
Number with private health insurance surges
An additional 97,000 signed up for private health insurance last year compared with 2014, reversing a trend where the number of those insured had been falling since 2009.The figures, contained in the Health Insurance Authority's 2015 annual report, bring the total number of those insured to 2.12 million or 46 per cent of the population.The report says the increase can be attributed to the introduction of the lifetime community rating regime on May 1st, which put pressure on people to enter the market.
