In all, about 48% of the US population lives in areas where prices decreased or increased by less than 5%; 26.3% of the population lives in areas that had an increase of more than 15%.

So people living in states like North Carolina where premiums increased by over 20% are quite correct in their assessments that Obamacare sucks.

From 1999 to 2008 premiums went from 2200 to 4700,more than double.
From 2008 to 2016 premiums went from 4700 to 6400,much less than double
