Because of that, this happened.....A friend said, "My reasonable priced insurance skyrocketed as soon as Obama decided we all had to have it, whether we wanted it or not. That mandatory decree opened the floodgates for the insurance companies to change double or whatever they wanted." Clearly this is an error in thinking but what do you call it?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

I think you're hinting at 'Post hoc ergo propter hoc' fallacy, but this is not quite there yet. Logically, it seems people could be experiencing this so there's no real fallacy, or magical leap in reasoning. I tried to refer you to Dr. Bo's explanation, but it doesn't come up just yet. My Wifi connection is acting up so I wouldn't conclude anything else about that.

Post hoc fallacy as Micheal says. However, it could also be a true statement. I would have followed up with "how do you know it was the policy that caused the rate increase?" There could be a definitive reason or it could be just a poor assumption not founded on facts.
Interestingly, I don't cover this one specifically on this site. I need to add it. It is different from the questionable cause fallacy. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pos. . . |

Maybe a short Slippery Slope Fallacy? |
