Part of Obama-Kare has already kicked in.
Six weeks after it passed our medican insurance went up over 25%. The invoice was accompanied by a letter explaining the increase was necessary to comply with the new regulations.
Last month we got a letter explaining we will have another increase the first of the year for the same reason.
You can ask if these increases are due to Obama-Kare or is it just the insurance company taking advantage of the situation. The reality is that in either case the catalyst is Obama-Kare.
And there is nowhere else for us to go for a competitive quote - there are very few companies that write medical insurance policies for people who are not in a group policy and who pay for their own insurance.
Yes, I should have said ‘fully’ kicks in in 2014. We lost our medical coverage completely, husband out of work for over a year, yay OBOZO! My husband’s was based on how many hours he works which only totals a whopping 70 for this year.
