What a surprise!
No...really? That explains the FOUR Bill Pay Accounts I am managing to pay off my deductible. And if my employer didn’t kick in an extra $1,000. I would have had to buy Supplimental Insurance.
Signpost...
SINGLE PAYER AHEAD
So I guess that “$2500 back in your pocket” thing isn’t working out. Barack Hussein Obama in nothing but a liar. Everything he spews is a lie and yet, endless lines of freeloaders line up to lick his feet. This mess isn’t costing them anything.
They were artificially low to help sell the program.
This is ridiculous - its gotta stop.
Yet the GOP won't do a damn thing about it. They wont't even acknowledge that there are millions like me having to deal with these astronomical cost increases.
Wasn’t the KFF totally in the tank for Obamacare?
Kaiser is, at its core, an insurance company, and as an insurance company, they were ASSURED that enormous numbers of new clients will be directed to purchase their coverage.
Interesting that they bought it in the first place. Perhaps there was a little arm-twisting in the back rooms that FORCED the insurance companies to come aboard, and because the acceptance was less than complete by the public, the rates had to be raised to cover the inevitable deficits.
Well unfortunately the GOP doesn’t feel the pain. It’s not their problem until they feel the pain of their constituents. Remember, those in Congress are exempted from that pain.
I got a booklet for my current Medicare Advantage with costs for next year (assuming I keep this plan).
Premium (in addition to the Medicare premium) goes from $0 to $10 per month.
Preferred Doctor reduces from $12 to $6.
Generic prescriptions (in the formulary) increase from $3 to $6.
Prescription deductibles will go from $0 to $175.
Small increases, but like the cable bill, a dollar here and 3-dollars there. It adds up, especially considering that the Social Security increase for next year will be $0.
Vote Republican.
Nothing will change, but you’ll feel better thinking they might have made a difference.
:)
I have an aging friend who is basically unemployable who got the dirt cheapest plan just to avoid the tax...., oops! I meant “penalty.” I asked him what his plan does for him (diabetic) and he replied that it doesn’t do squat without him forking over hundreds of dollars every month.
In other words, these plans are “protection money.”
The GOP does only what their corporate donors ask and feeds its voters BS.
The plan from day one.
It was all LIES
Exactly.
Absolute control!
Trump will roll that back. I would think more folks would buy in, but I guess that’s the nature of this years exercise in denial.
“This is ridiculous - its gotta stop.”
In the meantime, a large number of administrative jobs have opened up in the resulting large hospital systems, and the highest paid people are the growing number of seven figure administrators (there are lots of them - even in the relatively obscure smaller systems).
For the first time in my adult life I have no health insurance because of obamacare. I can’t afford any of the policies anyone offers. I hope I make it to Medicare before I get sick.
Obamacare's main impact is in the individual insurance market and it's a real stretch to blame increased employer pass through costs on the ACA.
