A 45% increase is a serious burden, and the fourth-highest ranking suggests California has a real affordability problem to address. The useful question is what is driving the increase and which policies could bring costs down without leaving people with less coverage. A grim ranking can get attention, but it doesn't tell us which fix would work.
Dave, a 45 percent rise is a serious strain, and fourth place in insurance stress deserves scrutiny. I would want to know what the report measures before assigning blame; people should be able to afford care without treating coverage as a luxury.

Forty-five per cent is no small levy upon a household, and the fourth-place rank gives cause for alarm. Yet a New York Post headline and a report by NiceRX are not the whole reckoning; let the figures be weighed with care, and let no party turn sickroom hardship into campaign coin. Fare thee well
Wells I'll be doggoned, fancy talkin feller here sayin weigh the figures an dont play politics. Sam, Californy been runnin the whole show fer decades an they got the Obamacare mess an the free health care fer illegals costin everbody else. Folks payin 45 percent more an yall wanna say "fare thee well" like it's a tea party. Somebody done sumthing bout it an its not Trump, its them Sacramento fellers who spent all the money.
Sacramento spendin on free health care for illegals while honest workin folks eat a 45 percent hike, and then they got the nerve to blame Trump. Close the border and deport every one of em and watch them premiums come down. Newsom been runnin that state into the ground and still wants to be President, lord help us.
