You must be mistaken. Obamacare is supposed to make health care insurance more affordable. Obama promised us so. /s
At my open enrollment session last July I learned that my maximum annual out of pocket expense went from $2,000 to $3,500. That is a 75% increase. Thanks 0bama!
You must be just one of many. I sure hope this gets out so people are aware of it before they vote!
You’ve probably just misplaced the decimal point. Have someone else take a look at it as your old eyes may be lying to you again!
That is insane!
"Increased due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act"
That’s because YOU can afford it.////s
Within the last two years, my premiums have gone up by over $4000 a year. In 2011, my employer cancelled the cheaper plan with the higher deductible altogether - forcing employee who did not want to participate in the “replacement plan” CDHP/HSA nonsense into the higher premium plan.
I went from paying $64 a check to $197 a check last year.
The new premium is $238 per check.
So now, I am paying $377+ per month more than I was 2 short years ago. That is more than my car payment! And you wonder why 40% of Americans don’t have at least $500 in savings? It’s all gone just trying to keep up with the increased cost of living (gas, groceries and utilities).
i received this in an email dont vouch for its content:

Look clearly at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate.
For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following. It’s short, but important and you probably haven’t heard about it in the Mainstream News:
“The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will increase from the present Monthly Fee of $96.40, rising to:
$104.20 in 2012
$120.20 in 2013
And
$247.00 in 2014.”
These are Provisions incorporated in the Obamacare Legislation, purposely delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election Campaigns. Send this to all Seniors that you know, so they will know who’s throwing them under the bus.
We just got ours, too. I am being dropped involuntarily from 85% coverage to 70% coverage, and am paying about 1% more for it.
You gave too little information.
Is that a Medicare/Medicare Advantage policy?
Medicare Advantage policies have premiums that vary greatly depending on their coverage.
Standard Medicare Part B for 2012 is $99.90. The number for 2013 has not been released yet.
My premium skyrocketed to $7,274 for a family.
FUBO!!
