Estimates reflect higher medical costs. Obamacare provisions add more burdens. Other insurers project similar increases. They're "not being shy (about saying) premiums are going to increase in 2014."

Affordable care is a figure of speech. Reality prices millions out of coverage. Many others can't afford enough. Times editors mislead readers. Perhaps they don't care.

Obamacare denies more benefits than gained. Providers take full advantage. They game the system. They designed it. Profits are greater than ever. They're gotten by ripping off consumers.

Obamacare permits it. Affordable Care Act provisions assure it. Perhaps Times editors didn't notice.

"Although Republicans contend the law will drive up insurance premiums," they said, "thus far it seems to have reduced them."

The Journal and similar articles explain otherwise. Wendell Potter's a former health insurance company executive. He's now an outspoken critic. 

His book " Deadly Spin " reveals insider secrets. It's an "expose" and "stark warning." Industry spin "destort(s) democracy."

"Clandestine meetings".leave no paper trail." Third party front groups serve industry interests. Corporate giants want dirty secrets suppressed. At issue are high stakes and rising profits.
