The letter doesn’t say monthly. It is only a 15% increase over the previous year. Was he really paying $51K the year before. I’m a skeptic.

If true, he really needs to have a word with those Democrats in congress who just saddled him with an extra $20K of tax on his “Cadillac” health plan.

It doesn’t look like he is getting his insurance through an employer, so Cadillac tax will have nothing to do with him.

And like most stuff on zerohedge, this looks fishy.

I don’t know about that. The image looks like a scan of a letter. The rows of text are not exactly level. There are too many parts of that letter that can be ‘checked’ to verify authenticity.

The statement:

How many people are getting letters like this? Not many. 4-5 million is my guess. More every day is the certain answer.

May be an overstatement or exaggeration, though given that the law now mandates insurance by 2014, you can expect the insurance companies to try to gouge. They now have captive victims, er customers.

One of the commenters made the following comment:

Live in MA where healthcare is mandatory and private insurance premiums are the highest in the country. Mine went up again this year. State can’t afford the system. In MA, access to care is difficult.

It would be interesting to check if the statement that MA has the highest rates in the country. Do they have a limit on dollar amount for malpractice suits?
