The GOP lie machine is busy these days spreading the claim that WH is withholding shocking increase in premiums until after the elections and the lie is already taking hold all over the internet - FIGHT IT!!! Wherever you see the lie being spread - FIGHT IT!!!

The attacks could easily give the impression that the health care law is causing premiums to go through the roof around the country. Theyre not. In reality, in most states, premiums for coverage in the Obamacare health insurance exchanges for 2015 are rising at about the normal rate for health insurance throughout the country. In some places, theyre even going down.
But there are a few states that are facing more extreme premium increases from some insurers and Louisiana and Iowa are two of them. Alaska, where Democratic Sen. Mark Begich is struggling to win a second term, is another one.
Even there, its not all insurers that are raising rates that much. Louisiana, for example, is only announcing rates for the insurers that are raising rates by 10 percent or more, so the picture thats being made public is incomplete.
