Deductibles have gone way up.
Your network has changed
Yet another in a series of lies from the liar-in-chief.
Premiums up....with HUGE deductibles.
The last COLA increase....my net was $1 a month after they raised the medicare B rate.
A lot of people were expecting free health care. Turns out, free stuff is really expensive. Who knew?
I wound up in the hole. Those increases, when we do get them, are not even close to accounting for increases in health insurance or basic necessities such as food.
It’s free if you don’t have to pay for it. The lazy lumps who won’t get out of bed and go to work made out. They don’t care that someone else broke his back to finance that freebie.
Do you ever wonder why the actual taxpayers of the USA aren't outraged? Or are they just to busy at work to complain and protest?
Waste, redundancy and failed government programs should be generating a crowd with tar a feathers.
I’m in the whole too. The premium costs for me and my dependants have skyrocketed. The deductibles are unbelievable, far out of my budget. Im told that next year they will increase again. Health insurance is my most expensive monthly cost, and before this slimy communist prez the cost was affordable.
It’s the “affordable” care act and “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”. And we are going to trust this guy when it comes to making nuke “deals” with Iran?
it was never about providing medical coverage. It's just a way to take the suckers money and the Left ell for the scam hook, line, and sinker.
The word “insurance” is missing from the title. I don’t have it and my health care costs have plumetted more than the price of oil. You would not believe the discounts you get when insurance is not part of the transaction.
Well paint me red.....
I never signed up for Obamacare, i must have not got the memo.
I also think most of us are law abiding, decent folks who believe such protests would somehow be wrong. So we shut our mouths, go to work and keep paying through the nose for the irresponsible. The dictators in Washington are counting on us to keep on doing so.
Just enough money to buy a cola. Well, a small one.
I pay for my own health insurance, and it has more than doubled.
Great job there half breed
Here’s B******t Barry claiming that the rates that employers would pay for insurance for their employees would drop by “as much as 3,000 percent”.

You would not believe the discounts you get when a good or service is offered on a free market basis and the producers or providers of those goods or services have to compete against each other for a consumer.
Make healthcare an open market... give the consumer real choices and nobody would "need" healthscare insurance.
This is all a simple matter of braindead wealth redistributor class warfare socialists having ZERO grasp of natural economic processes like supply and demand, or even of the physical processes of action and reaction... or cause and effect.
