That’s the cost for a family of four.

It’s doubled from 2002 to 2012. It went from about $9.2k in 2002 to $15k in 2008.

That link is chock full of charts and data showing that the increases didn’t accelerate after PPACA was enacted, and that costs have been on the rise well before Obama was elected. The GOP is simply attempting to combine the long term trending increase with any increases that people may see now that the PPACA’s main provisions are about to take effect.

It’s a blatant attempt to confuse and obfuscate causes and trends.

Fascinating. The Democrats need to put that in all of their adverts.

They can say that they’ve controlled the cost of health care, where the Republicans would have done nothing!
