Under Bush, the average family premiums (including both what employers and employees pay) went up $4,677 in his last six years in office, from 2002 to 2008, an increase of 58 percent. That $4,154 growth under Obama is a 33 percent increase. If we look at Bush’s first six years, the discrepancy gets even bigger: From 2000, the year before Bush was first inaugurated, to 2006, the average family premium went up $5,042, or an increase of 78 percent.

If you are concerned with the number of insured, ObamaCare has improved that too.
The nation's uninsured rate has fallen to a historic low under Obamacare

Oh, yes, as for health insurance profits, that too is not due to ObamaCare:
Companies saw improvements in most of their business lines, but much of the earnings boost came from higher profitability in their Medicare Advantage divisions and smaller losses in their Obamacare exchange products.
"They did lose millions and millions" in Obamacare, said Doniella Pliss, associate director at A.M. Best. But "it doesn't contradict the fact that they did very well in other lines of business."

You list premium prices and numbers of insured as reasons you are against ObamaCare. Yet, ObamaCare has drastically improved both of those. You also cite insurance company profits, but ObamaCare has cost these companies millions and millions of dollars. And it has also led to historic lows in abortions. So, why again are you against ObamaCare?
