Insurance premiums won't increase much for most people

This situation has drawn the attention of state and federal legislators who are concerned with a possible tie to the Affordable Health Care Act and its impact on the insurance industry as a whole.

The changes in average monthly premiums will vary widely between states.

Experts feel that the frivolity of the act is now becoming evident as turnover for most insurers are taking a hit. And some people may find doctors suddenly out of their network.

"The marketplace was an experiment, and it doesn't seem to be working", said Eric Seiber, associate professor of health services management and policy at Ohio State University. "They're all going up, some are just going up more than others".

The situation in Virginia reflects a nationwide trend as insurance companies face increasing costs.

One of the chief architects of President Barack Obama's failing health care law, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, recently brushed aside news that health care premiums under the law are going to skyrocket.

House Republicans have released a blueprint to reform and replace the current health care system, a plan that Cole supports. Open enrollment begins November 1.

In Virginia, Sentara Healthcare will stop selling ACA plans in more than 70 counties and cities, although such plans remain available in some areas. HHS has also requested people to visit the healthcare.gov website in order to choose the right plans.

The percent of employee premium contribution for single coverage in Hawaii went from 4.9 percent from 2006-10 to 5.2 percent from 2010-15, compared with national numbers dropping from 4.7 percent in 2006-10 to 3.8 percent from 2010-15.

Cynthia Cox of the Kaiser Family Foundation said the increases here and elsewhere may show that the first plans offered under the ACA were priced too low.

In 2016, a 40-year-old adult making $30,000 per year would pay about $208 per month for a silver plan. In 2015, the price would have been $270.

In Iowa, it's a range between 19 percent and 43 percent, depending on the provider.

The estimated 22 percent increase is an average of data collected from federal and state-based exchanges. "We can do that without ripping away the insurance that people now have".

Baldwin said provisions of the law that need to be saved include reduced prescription drug co-pays for people on Medicare, one that provides preventive care for free and another that she championed which allows young people to stay on their parents' insurance plans up to age 26. The fine is often less, he said, even with the insurance subsidy.
