This is going to get ugly.

[Tzimisce]

What happens?

It sucks to be you.

But voting Obama meant you weren’t a racist and the moral high ground is all that really matters, right? :)

“”Obama has NO choice now but to ram amnesty through by Executive Order or the whole stinking mess will come down around him.”””

How does amnesty solve this?

[Blood of Tyrants]

You are not paying for people who have waited until they are terminally ill to get insurance. You are also payong for Jane to become John and vice versa.

"This is going to get ugly."

This is going to get a lot uglyier.

Not to worry. The Republicans have control of both houses of Congress, so EVERYTHING bad that happens from this point is automatically their fault.

You think the Dems haven’t taken this into consideration?

My stepfather finally retired. His premium? $750 a month.

Not happening.

[Capt. Tom]

and there are NO choices - just one plan from which everyone can choose.

Even if you had many choices it would still cost you more money.
Or if the cost per month is reasonable, the deductible will be higher.

I guess we are not going to get our $2,500 savings on healthcare.-Tom

Someone wants amnesty for illegal aliens precisely so that they will not be able to mooch off of the healthcare system which will already be strained, but will also have to pay the outrageous prices for healthcare like all of the rest of us while the government is enriched through the process,

If you think illegals are going to pay these premiums you are dreaming...

Lost you here, sorry. Sounds like you're saying amnesty will mean no one steals "free healthcare". Can you extrapolate?

[digger48]

I sure hope Obama sends me that $2500 he promised. I need it to pay my health insurance premium that just went up $2580 for next year.

almost 1/3 of my take-home for HI. It really curbs my discretionary spending

[Elyse]

This doesn’t make sense. Amenesty won’t put more paying consumers in the system, it will put more free-loaders in that will drain the system.

My portion of health care contributions has gone up 549% in the past 10 years. I’ve been working for the same company (30+ yrs) and have had the exact same insurance coverage for that time.

It ticks me off when the person in front of me at the doctor has a hissy fit when their copay is $5 and mine is $50.....

[Fungi]

Simple, the government owns you. This was not about “health care,” it was about control. Be ready to face you master.

And what if SCOTUS determines that 36 states don’t participate in subsidies?

Most of those getting amnesty will qualify for Medicaid. According to Obamacare, illegal aliens are not entitled to subsidies, but they are exempt from the individual mandate.

What happens to the U.S. economy when so many are forced to pay much higher healthcare premiums?

As of January 2015, our Health Insurance will be $1,800 a Month for the Wife and I, up from $1,600 a Month that we have been paying since last January.

$125 of that amount is for Dental and Vision. The Premium now exceeds our Monthly Mortgage Payment.

In 2013, we were paying $1,200 a Month, but that Plan was cancelled because it didn’t meet the Obamacare rules.

Thank you Lord Obama, Queen Pelosi and the Court Jester Harry Reid. We couldn’t have done it without you.
