So let's see. The private insurers who were so instrumental in making sure that there was no expansion of government-provided health insurance raised their rates by 10% within months after the healthcare bill they lobbied so extensively and expensively was passed. But the government insurance that nobody wanted still costs about the same.

Hmmm, what's wrong with this picture?

Good to see you back VK !!!

I, also have United and have the same increase received today inthemail.

To answer your last question......what is wrong that it was sold on LOWERING HEALTH COSTS, and it does not address that in any way !
