One of the criticisms of the Obamacare rollout is some consumers' health care insurance policies are being canceled because they don't comply with minimum requirements. Replacement policies are more expensive. Self-employed lawyers are among those whose costs are increasing, The Washington Post reports: "If the poor, sick and uninsured are the winners under the Affordable Care Act, the losers appear to include some relatively healthy middle-income small-business owners, consultants, lawyers and other self-employed workers who buy their own insurance. Many make too much to qualify for new federal subsidies provided by the law but not enough to absorb the rising costs without hardship." The costs are going up due to increased benefits and increased coverage for sicker people, The Post also reported.
