Nancy Pelosi was right: We did have to pass it to find out what's in it, and some of us learned later than others.

I wish that I had only seen an increase of 33% this past year. FUBO. FUNP.

I have 100% VA coverage but considered signing up for Medicare for convenience. The rule is if you had employer provided insurance when you became eligible for Medicare there is no penalty. Well, guess what. VA coverage is not acceptable insurance. That means a 10% penalty. For me that would mean an 80% increase in premiums...for life! I won’t be signing up for Medicare

Nah, they were too busy kissing Obama’s backside.

This can’t be right. Didn’t Obama promise his plan would save every family a couple thousand per year?

Wow!!! Small business owners have been complaining about this trend for at least two years! I didn’t see the university professors recognizing that as an issue, or coming to their defense. And that is probably because of the politics. Who cares about the capitalist, right

So, no one else should come running when the university professors are in the same position. Tell us again professor how socialize medical care is great, and have a nice day!

VA coverage is not acceptable insurance.

To satisfy IRS health insurance requirements when tax filing?

It certainly is, I received a letter in January from the VA stating my VA coverage meets the requirements of the ACA individual mandate, including the form to file with my tax return.

Yes, but that factored in the reduction in costs after one of them has died.

We went through the same Obamacare increases. We ended up getting insured through a Healthcare Ministry. We used Liberty Healthshare, although there are about half a dozen choices out there, all of which will save you a fortune.

$600K over 500 members would be $1200 more per year or $100 more per month. And these are presumably family premiums. Big whoop.
