Health Insurers Warn On Premiums by Anne Wilde Mathews and Louise Radnofsky. The Wall Street Journal. March 22, 2013.

Judging from this article, it is clear that the cost effects of the law will be complicated. The insurance industry, perhaps to prepare customers for any potential price shocks, is emphasizing the potential for big increases. The administration, supported by a Congressional Budget Office study, points to the probability that average premiums on similar products would be lower.
