Statewide projections show nearly 50,000 Ventura County residents might pay an average of twice as much for Covered California insurance in 2026 in an alarming rise that could cause thousands to drop coverage.

Across the state, consumer costs on the insurance marketplace are expected to soar an average of 97% for the 1.7 million people who currently receive subsidies in the Covered California marketplace. The rise is driven by the expected elimination of about $2 billion in federal subsidies called enhanced premium tax credits.

The skyrocketing numbers also include premium hikes announced by Covered California earlier this month and attributed to rising costs of medical care and medications as well as changing federal health care policies and other factors. Rates will rise an average of 10.3% across the state in the first double-digit increase since 2018.

In a region encompassing Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, the premium hike is projected at just over 8%.

Prop 13 is probably a factor because people didn't move and they wanted to stay in CA. I don't blame them for the weather but this really shouldn't come as a surprise. The population is aging. Ventura County median age is just under 40, 39.4 I think I looked up. It's not the costs, it's just having to serve more sick people, but Newsom, bug eye and the county probably have to blame Trump.

My county is 32 years median age. 19% younger where I live than Ventura. That's a way bigger difference when you figure it's medical care. Once you cross 40 medical issues hockey stick population wise until you die. It will keep skyrocketing until 2040 as the last of the Boomers leave us. But prop 13 keeps the cost of living lower for the geezers that have owned for 30-40 years. Plus likely equity and reverse mortgages. They will survive, but that means housing out there will stay the same probably for the foreseeable future. No crash as the geezers will keep inventory low and the foreigners will buy any drop. High floor.

And if the stupid state didn’t give Illegals health insurance, health insurance premiums would potentially be much lower than they are currently.

If you didn't think the entire Left Coast was under the thumb of CCP election fraud, well, now you know. They can't let the pandemic fraud go to waste for the election frauds, mail in ballots. Nero Newscum confirms it. They'll just do their own pandemic fraud.

Question is, with fake Covid going stale on the shelf, how will the defrauded public take it to have the 'mandates' arbitrarily re-imposed without the Globalist or Federal backup? Will they attempt forced vaxicides again?

Testing the waters for ongoing Covid fraud and pandemic suspension of rights preparing for the next wave of stolen elections.

Are they discovering the curse of the election fraud installations? Their useful idiots only fuck as long as they are being paid, and the useful idiots have extortion to the extent they can turn state's evidence. So, a lot of the 'laundering' requirements perforce becomes an ever increasing line item of paid extortions. 'Loyalty' isn't cheap.

Too much laundering, not enough infrastructure support, too many Cloward Piven illegals on the dole etc. etc.

They are not 'liberal states'. They are CCP election fraud captured states.

Open ass chaps, pedophile's ball, CCP contact sports, depraved election fraud political installations, Satanic liar Newscum. What could possibly go wrong? It's a big coastline, push them into the sea with millstones around their necks.

Virtually everything Newscum proposes is anti-Constitutional and has to be skeet shot in the appeals courts. How long do they think that this Kommie shit is going to last? They are being de-res'd as they charge valiantly into their hyperrealities.

What does 120% lower mean? 1/1.20 = 0.83 or 1/2.20 = 0.45? That metric makes no sense and is indicative of the innumeracy and general stupidity of the MSM.

31,810 / 70,000 = 0.45, so I guess it's (*almost) the latter, but why the fuck phrase it in that way, as opposed to, "The cost of living is only 45% of a random commieifornia city."

* 0.454545454545 vs. 0.454428571429 - the point is, you don't know how exactly how that numbnuts calculated the value.

I suspect the journalist saw that the cost of living in Sunnyvale is 120% higher than in Overland Park. Since he wanted to list Overland Park as the subject, he ignorantly thought he could phrase Overland Park as "120% lower."

Darn. I was hoping it meant they paid you 14000 dollars to live there.

That jibes - 70,000/31,810 = 2.20056585975, so the reciprocal is 0.454428571429.

Still, it's not "120% lower." What does that even mean semantically? How can more than 100% of something be lower than 100% of the original? I guess this is my beef - they can't even state relative quantities properly in the English language. It's nonsensical.

2.20-1(base)=1.2=120%
Like @HeadSet said, dude put them in out of order and introduced confusion even though he was right in his calculation.

Thanks guys for the clarification of the rationalization for bad math/semantics.

Still, I wouldn't say 4 ounces of beer is 100% less than 8 ounces of beer.

It's like (IIRC) Kunstler was saying about ten years ago - when any economist is talking about the economy, substitute the "volcano" for economy, mad-libs style, and see how much sense it makes. It soon becomes apparent that the economist's lecture on "the economy" is a meaningless word salad

Soul? What soul. The psychopath only sees the world through the lens of his own advantage. Have the CCP assured him that the entire country will fall before 2028? Or is it only HIS world.

The ghetto Visigoths, a hop and a skip from my abode. Newscum's Raiders, deputized criminals for the CCP reign of terror. I wonder if the lily livered pinky lifting LibbyFucks and limousine liberals are taking note. They won't until the dead bodies and Uzi wielders start appearing on their manicured lawns. How do they virtue signal their way out from the barrel of a gun?

The CA CCP legislature and Newscum are also unilaterally repealing the First Amendment with their current bill.

No Kommie Constitution destruction would be complete without a bump from Soros. I sometimes wonder how close California will come to civil war, or if the 'two California' separatist movement will succeed, leaving SF, LA, and Sacto as feral islands left as their own state. I think it would be easy to choke them off and starve them economically at that point.

Did the rote limousine liberals and film industry whores of Palisades really think the Kommies wouldn't fuck them in the ass? They blasted them with space weapons, no less, so that they cold be replaced with better, cheaper Kommies. Remember the part about the useful idiots being the first to go in front of the firing squads when political power is secured?

"The Kommies liked their 300,000 fake voters, so they get to keep their 300,000 fake voters!"

"We have plenty of fake CCP printed mail in ballots, dead guys, and illegal voters. We don't need the dogs and cats any more, thank you for your attention to this matter."

Another Soros Fecal Impaction embarrassment rants for the Demons. Any federal election in 2026 will have paper ballots, no machines or mail ins, same day voting and counting, and possibly military guard, so they will be Soros Fecal Impaction and CCP proof. States will lag, but it will put them in the election fraud light they need to be. It will collapse their DC hold.

The abcess will be centralized here. Keep your exorcist at close quarters. Will there be spell casting and child sacrifices on underground alters? How Bohemian Grove of them.

Since the corruptocrats will be assembling in California, is this also a rip cord to deal with them and Newscum? One would hopium. Godfather III? Or, just more distraction and movies as usual usual?

A nice CCP mediated multi tasking of money laundering and Cloward Piven. Trump, please send in the Marines ASAP.

California Dem frontrunner for Governor puzzled at the an interviewer's question about winning over any Republicans in order to win.

Looks like the wife from a Benny Hill skit. At least not a tranny.

Katie Porter looks like they cloned fat Marlon Brando and put him in drag.

I'm grateful to Portland. Those who didn't find Santa Cruz crazy enough moved there, decompressing Santa Cruz somewhat.

Already demonstrating mental instability. Crazy eyes. Soros says "perfect". Of course, if she has been assured that election fraud will install her, she can be as crazy as she wants. What Nero Newscum didn't burn down, she certainly will.

Also, true counts cleansed of the election fraud showed that Trump got the majority of votes in California both in 2020 and 2024.
