My premiums started rising at ridiculous rates long before ACA. Your location affects things tremendously. In GA rates are high for health, auto and home.

Obamacare requires community rating that limits the difference in premiums due to age of participants. The young, and presumably healthy, pay more than they would without Obamacare rules.
