ObamaCare advocates have said for years that the Affordable Care Act was not the cause of rising premiums, but that argument is no longer plausible due to findings from new data from eHealth.
eHealth sells ObamaCare Marketplace health plans. The company also sold a wide variety of health plans through its own website. This was done for many years before the ACA was passed.

Boom!
