The initial shock of Obamacare is going to be nothing compared to the long term misery of trying to maintain it.

Our insurance from my employer is high deductible and the FAMILY rate is less than that 9% figure for single only that is being thrown about. If hubbie does get a permanent job and has to pay 9% of HIS pay, we will pay almost 3 times the premium we pay now and my son in college won’t be covered.

We are still trying to save for retirement in less than 10 years. November is NOT going to be a happy month at my company!

The true impact is when they say no inflation, so no COLA - but health insurance for the family went up 10%. So your take home pay actually goes down.

Raise? What raise? I got less last year. I got less this year. And I fully expect to get less next year.

It already ate my raise from last year, and took and extra $40 per month. At this rate I’ll be broke by next year. Yeah family!

I will settle for a job. Just lost mine due to a plant closure from economic conditions. “The summer of recovery” sucks.

The other day I bought a pack of hot dogs for the kids and paid nearly $8. I was astonished.

What timing... I just got back from the grocery store. $4.99 for a loaf of bread and $6.12 for a single spaghetti squash.
