It has been more than two years since President Barack Obama signed The Affordable Care Act into law. Obama has repeatedly promised that the law would make health insurance not only more accessible but also more affordable.
Alas, some Twitter users have noticed that the promise of affordability has not yet been realized:
So the 2 times my health premiums have gone up, was that a typo? What happened to all those cost cutting measures? Obamacare

Supporters of the law presumably will respond that the Act has not yet been implemented. That’s what worries us.
