Some big Obamacare news: premiums will fall in seven big cities
In major cities across the country, Obamacare premiums are falling.
That is not normal; health-insurance premiums nearly always go up and up and up. They rarely, if ever, decrease.
But analysts at the Kaiser Family Foundation have scoured insurers rate filings and find that premiums for Obamacare's benchmark plan will decrease, on average, by 0.8 percent across 16 large cities. That could be early evidence that a key premise of Obamacare is working: insurers are competing on the marketplaces, and that could be driving health insurance prices down.
