We just finished enrolling our family in the healthcare plan provided by my wife's employer. The deductible is $3000 per individual and $6000 for family. Our oldest son, who works for a private company, has also been put on our plan because he could not afford to pay the health exchange prices nor his employer's healthcare plan. My wife was paying about $450 per month on the healthcare premiums to cover the family. Now, we are suddenly going to be paying $650 per month and there are NO choices - just one plan from which everyone can choose. It only pays %70 of costs after deductible is met, not the %80 we used to have at lesser premium.
Now, multiply this by the millions of Americans about to be affected equally and and you will see a MAJOR economic impact starting next year when those premiums start getting paid. Someone wants amnesty for illegal aliens precisely so that they will not be able to mooch off of the healthcare system which will already be strained, but will also have to pay the outrageous prices for healthcare like all of the rest of us while the government is enriched through the process, It is all going to be on "Oh wow!" moment for everyone. Obama has NO choice now but to ram amnesty through by Executive Order or the whole stinking mess will come down around him.
But Obama has assured you that the new plan is better. He has promised that the “free” birth control and gender reassignment surgery will make up for the deductibles and lack of choice. Would he lie to you?
What happens to our economy? Besides the largest decline in the American work force in history as a direct result of the increase in costs of employment, we’ll have to see, and it will not be pretty.
“Once legalized, theyll pay like everyone else and will find that the Democrat Party is NOT a friend.”
Uh, no
I was shopping at a department store this weekend and, except for the store clerks, was probably the only American there - dozens of Mexicans, most women pregnant and many Mexican children. They acted like they had more of a right to be here than I.
Unless they are making big bucks whatever taxpaying citizens are left will be paying their bill. Don't you know about subsidies for the low paid?
OT, can you tell me why butter is $5/lb now while milk is still $3.50 gallon?
It is only that BECAUSE wifey has low-paying job and qualifies for slightly lower premium. Works for large corporation.
Well, we're about to see, aren't we? I am thinking once they have them on record and can see their income, they're going to force them to pay some healthcare costs.
Yes, I completely agree. I am only arguing the Democrat point of view to see if valid arguments come to the forefront. We have some here.
I am truly sorry. Maybe it is NOW time for the people to rise up and actually do something to stop all of this.
What happens?
They don’t pay, insurance doesn’t cover, hospitals collapse, and the system gets nationalized.
Winning post.
Those without assets will not pay back
Those with assets are being deprived of affordable insurance and will be forced on Medicaid and provide a new asset sump for the healthcare government complex
Unrealistic predatory pricing in the healthcare sector combined with unattainable insurance is the perfect combination to suck assets out of the middle class. Welcome to leftist totalitarian fascism.
I would love $650 a month premiums!! Unfortunately ours for 2 people is over $1300.
What happeneds is what was planned from the begining, overwhelm the system into collapse (cloward piven). It wont be just this it will be all of the changes the imposter and chief is setting up and impementing like immigration
You can still be legal and work under a fake id or under the table.
