Beware!!! Local Independent Insurance brokers are blaming Obama for premium [View all]

increases... People in their 50”s see tremendous increases in their premiums, I mean I easily experienced 15-20% when I first hit my 50s.. These extraordinary increases come unexpectedly,, so obviously they ask their brokers why.. Instead of telling them the truth about huge incremental increases...Its been that way for years, they blame it on Obamacare..

We need to call them out on this lie...it will be an issue in Nov..

GOTV...
