Health Care: The administration issued new rules last week to spare President Obama more political damage from his phony "keep your doctor" promise. But in so doing, they've set in motion another ObamaCare rate shock.
Soon after enrolling in ObamaCare, many people discovered the high cost of believing Obama's promises. Not only were millions required to change plans, but many learned that their "new-and-improved" ObamaCare plans forced them to give up their doctors and hospitals, too.
Turns out that insurers desperate to keep premiums as low as they could in the face of ObamaCare's costly benefit mandates, taxes and regulations set up narrow, sometimes extremely narrow, provider networks to hold down costs.

Thanks for the tip! He has no serious health problems that he’s told me about, but this is good info to know.
Are ObamaCare's Tax Credits Harmless? The Little Understood Dark Side Of The Subsidies
Yet, the new reality of ObamaCares tax credits has left finance reporters to pen articles warning readers to take care when considering a tax credit and providing strategies for how best to protect yourself. So what do finance reporters know that the White House doesnt?
By accepting a tax credit, low-income or lower-middle class families face significant tax ramifications and potential financial risk. Congress has changed the rules twice on consumers for the credits, making the income cliffs steeper, and fully equipping the IRS to claw back overpaid subsidies (unlike the individual mandate penalty).
The flip side of the tax credits is almost unknown to the general public.
The high cost of believing Obama’s promises.
They voted for him twice and received what they voted for so no bitchin and wining is allowed.
I really don't know what to expect from this economy, only that whats coming is very bad.
Higher premium costs, higher co pays, higher deductibles, fewer doctors and hospitals accepting ObamaCare equals less health care for our $s.

You were obviously paying attention five years ago when the Treasury started printing $10 "yellowboys" as if there were no tomorrow, in amounts that beggared common sense.
Hmmm, I'm going to nominate your post as "clever insight of the week" .... and nominate you as Too Smart to Live. The Comrades will be around to see you very shortly.

With regards to your post 6, I know no liberals—having avoided them all my life—but it’s times like these that I wish I did, just so I could observe their agony as ObamaCare clamps down on their miserable souls. I want them to suffer just as they, by their voting, have made a lot of innocents suffer.
Please don't forget the prostate exams, etc., she gets them too. She should. She's paying for them.
BTW, welcome to Free Republic.
The guitar player in my band just ordered $4,000 worth if solar panels at .$61 a watt. I believe I’m going to be doing the same thing. It’s the one thing I’ve been putting off way too long. Just as it was hard, in a world of $1.85 gas to imagine we would just accept $3.50 gas as normal. I think our world of $200 a month (or whatever yours is) power bills will become as distant a memory as $1.85 gas. Or maybe even $.85 gas.
When you see this world from that future view, certain items look too cheap to pass up.
BTW, my guitar player is an electrician who specializes in solar installations. Definitely a good friend to have in modern times. :-)
