A recent survey of 148 insurance brokers shows that ObamaCare is sending premiums rising at the fastest clip in decades.<\/p>\n
“For the last, about, five years they’ve been doing this survey, so this was the largest percentage increase in any quarter since they’ve been doing (it),” said Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise Institute.<\/p>\n
“But at 12 percent, 11 percent increase on average across all the states — that puts it at the upper end of any increase we’ve seen for decades.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
