Marianne Eterno began her insurance career in 1987 at the former Golden Rule Insurance Company in Indianapolis, Indiana, and moved to Chicago in 1992, when she accepted a position with Celtic Insurance Company. Since it took effect in 2010, the healthcare reform law, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or "Obamacare," has made drastic changes to healthcare.
In 2015, changes are still being made to ACA to better address the confusion and loop-holes of today's healthcare... even though everyone might be paying more this year, and premiums might continue to skyrocket.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the average increase for Obamacare for 2015 will be 8.2 percent in 29 states and the District of Columbia.
Why do premiums keep going up?
