ObamaCare websites won't reveal next year's insurance costs until after midterms

The ObamaCare website won't reveal what the costs for insurance in 2015 will be until after the midterm elections are over, the Washington Times reports.

Enrollment on Healthcare.gov is set to begin Nov. 15, with the midterm elections taking place on Nov. 4. Critics say the timing is no coincidence, as some insurers in three states with key Senate races will raise premiums by double digits. Last year's health exchange enrollment opened on Oct 1.

Many Republican candidates running for Senate are focusing on ObamaCare, warning voters that their costs will continue to go up if Democrats are elected.
