So here in Massachusetts we have the Health Connector. This is "RomneyCare", of which "ObamaCare" is a superset.

Plans recently were just adjusted to be in-line with how they'll be priced when ACA comes into play, although we'll have to "officially" select new plans come 2014 that are "official ACA plans".

I'm single, early 30s, with some notable pre-exisitings (Type II diabetes, kidney stones). My premium with a major carrier (Harvard Pilgrim) went from $424 to $458, which is about an 8% increase.

Under what conditions would my premium increase to $844 (99% increase)? I don't see that being possible.
