Rise in Health Insurance Premiums now half of what it was before Obama.

Looks like Reince Priebus can’t win without deception. But will conservative voters reward the party for being good con men?

Politifact rated the following mostly true, with one important exception:

Republican National Committee says health insurance premiums have risen 29 percent under Barack Obama.

Our ruling: The RNC said "the average family premium has increased by 29% under Obama!" The leading study confirms that rise, which occurred over the course of five years. 

If you calculate the increases on an annual basis, premiums have risen by about 5.8 percent a year under Obama, which is less than half of the average annual rise during the nine years before Obama took office. The statement is accurate but needs clarification or additional information, so we rate it Mostly True.
