Today\u2019s announcement comes after news in April that Maryland\u2019s largest non-profit health insurer CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield proposed that they would have to raise rates for individuals an average of 25% \u2013 and up to 150% for young people \u2013 because of Obamacare. Despite the MIA approving \u201cpremiums at levels as much as 33 percent below what had been requested,\u201d Marylanders' healthcare premiums will still go up under the law.\n\u201cToday\u2019s announcement about health insurance premiums demonstrates that Obamacare will in fact lead Marylanders to pay more for their healthcare,\u201d said Harris. \u201cIt is hardly welcome news for young Marylanders who are already struggling in this economy to say their health insurance will still go up under Obamacare, but not as much. Despite promises by President Obama and others that this law would lead to lower premiums, the exact opposite is turning out to be true \u2013 Marylanders will be paying more.\u201d\n\u00a0\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://harris.house.gov/press-release/congressman-andy-harris-md-reacts-maryland-insurance-premium-announcement"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8822379168123007, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
