Your health care bill is about to explode.
The notices will start arriving next month.
A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000.
Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up.

Yet nearly 40 years later, our government is once again incarcerating individuals without due process.
