FWIW, our rates are going up 7%, but we have locked in to our current plan by renewing in December because under the ACA, current plans are grandfathered in for a year. The reason we did this is that our current plan ($1000 deductible each with everything covered at 100% after that) will most like not be available once the ACA is fully implemented..
So the idea that "If you like your plan, you can keep it" is nonsense. Marcia, ours is going up about 7% as well. And we lose it after 2014.
And the "if you like your plan, you can keep it" is the LEAST of the nonsense. If you want to see the latest joke...

But once in a great while he makes a good point, like the time when he said, "I'm not afraid of Obama destroying America....I'm afraid of the people who blindly support him and the people who stand to benefit the most from his policies".
