Your linked article acknowledges that premiums are increasing. Meanwhile, others point out the fact that Obamacare is actually causing increases despite promises premiums would fall. Obamacare Guarantees Higher Health Insurance Premiums Medical spending has already exceeded the maximum that the market would bear, which is why the industries lobbied for Obamacare to spend even more.
