You are in the minority.

Every insurance company that provides Obamacare in Oregon is increasing rates for the average customer this year.

In fact, the State of Oregon has actually ordered some of the companies to increase their rates more than they'd originally planned.

That seems really crazy, but then... Frondo just said the company he was with before went out of business. Why? Were they, in fact, not charging enough to cover their costs (supposedly the motivation behind Oregon raising prices)?
