Mainstream media outlets were slow to cover the Obama administration’s Monday announcement of a 25 percent average increase in federal Obamacare premiums for 2017, and for some, the news wasn’t worth covering at all.

The Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday at 5 p.m. that in addition to the price increase affecting 39 states, there would be 36 percent fewer plans to choose from. When data was used from the four state-run exchanges for which data was available, and the District of Columbia, the average price increase dropped just a little, to 22 percent.
