market have seen a meltdown of the insurance exchanges, the presiding officer in her home state of iowa. you have had people pulling out and that is because the affordable care act was unfortunately a partisan exercise and a failed big government experiment. all you have to do is look at the promises at the time obamacare was being sold in 2009 and 2010. the president said if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. that proved to not be true. he said if you like your policy, you can keep your policy. perhaps the thing that stung the most was the fact the president said back in 2009 and 2010 that an average family of four would see a reduction in their health insurance premiums by an average of $2500. since 2013, we are seen a 105% increase in insurance premiums under the affordable care act. instead of seeing a cut in their out of pocket cost of $2500, what families of four are experiencing is insurance premiums increase of $3,000. some people may be able to absorb that cost but most people i know can't. they have had to reprioritize their spending so they had less to spend on ot
