Thank You John McCain for blocking the Obamacare repeal.
My wife and I have Molina and they want over 100% premium increase next year.
My wife and I are almost 64. Health insurance free since 1/1/2014 (the day Obamacare went into effect). We’ve saved close to $50,000 in after tax dollars on health care premiums.
BTW, three days ago my son in law had a mountain biking accident and broke his collar bone. He had just taken a golden parachute from his job and had not bothered to re-insure. When the emergency room found out he was not insured, they gave him a 73% discount. Total bill - $283.
Not much change for me over this year.
My family policy premiums went from $19,000 a year to almost $30,000 in the several years after Obamacare was passed. My firm then cut coverage and increased deductibles so it dropped back down to about $24,000 but it is increasing again.
My family has this.
It has worked out real well for us.

Classic program for family of 5: $495/mo
Funny, I was just looking at Health Insurance prices, my plan was cancelled years ago and I have been paying the Fine instead. All I really want or need is Catastrophic Care plan with a High Deductible and minimal payment.
Believe it or not, When you Actually PAY for your Own Doctor Visits without insurance, it is remarkably cheap, about 1/4 the price.
Unfortunately with my income I am looking at $20,000 annual Cost for the 2 of us before receiving any “Insured Care”. So it looks like I pay the fine again this year.
It seems my only way out is to QUIT WORKING, Sell my Business and Retire Early and just Stop Paying in to the System entirely. If I get my Income below $40,000 a Bronze Plan is $2 per month. If I get it down to $20,000 a Silver Plan is $2 per month.
I need to Find a Real good Accountant.
Everything the libs touch, they totally destroy...everything.
That includes the best healthcare system in the world.
They are truly the Borg of this century.
Somewhere down the road, and soon, the healthcare issue has to come to a head.
It just cannot go on like it is.....it’s unsustainable.
Is that per month or pay period?
Used to be able to blame 0bamascam on the Democrats but now the lying lazy ass Republicans are the blame
Our Premiums only went up $87, from $1979 to $2066 as of January 2018, whoopee! I was shocked it was so low. #;^O
That’s for two Adults, no Kids and does include Dental and Vision which cost us $131. Such a deal...
We are only up about 120% since December of 2013.
I’m still waiting for my Obama promised $2,500 Check though. That would help take care of Doctor / Prescription Copays.
Mine went up again I pay 190.00 every two weeks for a family of four and I must pay the 20% that the insurance does not cover.
“$11,500 deductible”
That’s JUNK “insurance”.
That amount is in the ballpark of what Medicare pays for a hospitalization.
I started at a new company in June. I pay $30 month, no deductibles, standard copay for a family of four. I’m blessed with this. It’s saving our family about $12k per year in premiums alone.
I have the cheapest plan availa - a bronze plan in Maine - the premium is going from $667 a month to $888 a month.
Thanks, Obama and Susan Collins!
It is crazy. Back in the day the companies provided health care and for some reason 30 years ago, they decided to drop it and have people fend for themselves. That is when something should have happened. I can’t see how companies can drop pensions AND health care and save all that money......what are they doing with the boon in savings? That is a question that is NEVER answered.
I’m sure all insurance premiums will go up. Is there anyone that can hold them down? The insurances companies, I mean.
The premium only went up from $500-something to $600-something for a family of 4? And he is complaining?
My wife’s premium went up to $1,200-something a month with a $7,500 deductible. That’s only for my wife, not a family of 4.
