New Mexico’s individual market to see second-greatest price increase in the nation under ObamaCare

Now that ObamaCare has launched with all the buoyancy of a lead balloon, we have more details on actual rate increases. According to the latest from Manhattan Institute, New Mexico’s rate hikes will be second-greatest in the nation, second only to Nevada (see chart below). Read an article on the study from Forbes:

Supporters of the law will claim the report is biased against ObamaCare, but the reality is that the reports find that rates under the law will drop in a few states, including Colorado.
