Where do Obamacare plans cost the most?

[Forever Sunshine]

Anyone shopping for health insurance in a Colorado resort town may feel like closing the laptop and schussing the slopes to ease frustration. These areas were just named the most expensive for medical coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

Kaiser Health News -- which says its findings are based on recent data from the Kaiser Family Foundation, the federal HealthCare.gov website and state exchanges -- gives Colorado's Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin counties (including Aspen and Vail ski getaways) the highest premiums, at $483 a month.

Rural regions of Georgia, Mississippi and Nevada are not far behind, as is a Connecticut suburb of New York City, all of Alaska and most of Wyoming.

The premiums are based on the lowest price "silver" plan, which is mid-level coverage that most consumers are buying through the exchanges.

The entire thing of FORCING people to buy insurance is unconstitutional. I don't see how our president and congress got away with that one.

Yes, we are forcing them to do so. When you institute a "tax" or fee for not purchasing health insurance, you are forcing people to buy it. It is not cheap either. We now have families who have to choose to take insurance rather than feed their family. It's truly sad when you think about it.

I'm one of the lucky ones who has always had insurance through the employer. But the coverage has gone down, and the cost has gone up since the President who made a joke of the Nobel Peace Prize was elected not once, but stupidly twice.

The point is, it is unconstitutional.

People want to be insured, but not in this way. They should redo the entire damn thing until they get it right. Allow those who have insurance to keep it while rewriting it. THEN implement the new afterwards, as long as it's better and constitutional. This is NOTHING like what Canada and Europe has. Isn't that what Mr. Peace Prize was saying all along? He has done more to drive this country apart than pull it together. Good job Mr. Peace Prize winner. I'm glad this is your last term. You may just succeed in your plan to kill the country before your term ends.

Hell, as long as we are making a joke out of the Nobel Peace Prize, why don't we give the next one to Sudan?

I mean they fund the Janjaweed who has slaughtered many black Africans in Darfur. Not to mention all the other terrorists groups they have funded who have murdered for no other reason than you aren't muslim.

I mean as long as we are making a joke out of it . . . why not? Hell, may as well give Hitler one too. I know he's dead, but hey he killed just as many for no other reason than they didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes. I was going to say he killed because they were jewish. We know more than just the jewish people died.

As long as we aren't doing anything for the genocide in Darfur and other areas, may as well give them the peace prize for funding those groups. Hell, if Obama can get it . . . . .

Well, basically Obama's problem is he's had to introduce a Republican measure - Romneycare- and try and pretend it's his own.

As for the rest of it, well, the Nobel Peace Prize hasn't been given to anyone worthwhile in years.
