I live with my mother and take care of her...she's 88.

The cost of her prescriptions fully DOUBLED beginning in January 2012.

ALL my diagnostics and copays increased (nearly doubling as well) in January 2012 along with considerable increases in premium payments.

Why can't someone do an actual study of how much health insurance premiums have increased since the passage of the "Affordable" Health Care Act?! (Affordable - what a crock!) Include:

-premium increases that come directly out of the pockets of the individual or employer

-increased co-pays on drugs and doctor visits

-increased costs to doctors. My doctor's nurse said they are almost finished implementing the required medical-record electronic filing programs. She said it has cost them well over $100,000 and would be a continued additional monthly expense forever! (By the way, you know who produces and sells the program - GE!) Doctors must provide a translator upon request. Who do you think pays for that? It sure ain't Obama!

but, but, haven’t you heard those commercials that boast that since the new health care act, there are no co-pays or fees tests just for staying healthy. /s
