He promised we could keep what we had AND lower rates. The whole damn thing is a scam.
Accidentally cut off part of the quote:
“In any case all four tiers are scrap-metal grade, because the rules ObamaCare imposes to create a supposedly superior insurance product are resulting in an objectively inferior medical product. “
The Lord of the Flies came into office to destroy America — and destroy he has.
Our deductible has gone from $2500 to $12500 per year. I was suspicious when I found out our premiums will only go up by about $100 per month. Sure enough, they clobbered us on the deductible.
Hubby and I have already decided that we will alternate year our doctors visits. I visit for the yearly checkup and bloodwork one year, he will do the same the next year. We can no longer afford to both do yearly visits in the same year.
Progress and all that.
I hope some of the low information voters will see for themselves how Obamacare screws them with higher prices, worse benefits and they cannot keep their doctor or even pick the hospital they want to use. How anyone could say this is a better system is beyond belief. I am surprised even the state controlled media is starting to realize they were shills for Obamcare talking points and this plan is hurting millions of Americans.
Coming to America..... by April 2014
Healthcare industry wage and price controls.
prices will be rolled back to July 2012 levels until April 2015
Now I’m gettin’ confused. If the obiecare plans suck, how can your current/former plan be worse? I thought if your current/former plan didn’t meet the obiecare requirements that it was no longer any good to you. Are the obiecare plan requirements lower than your current/former plan? We’re just waiting for that shoe to drop for my better half’s portion of my retirement health care. It’s secondary for me because of mediscare but if we want to keep her on it I have to maintain my status to do so. It’s going up to 1,100+/mth in January. WOO HOO! A little less ammo I guess.
That the deductible for an unsubsidized “Silver” plan can be up to $6,000 and the same policy for someone <250% of the federal poverty level can be as little as $0 haw can that not be called wealth redistribution?

I feel sorry for Fred. I want to help him. I feel that my money should be for me. So, where can I get money for poor Fred? I look around, and I see Barney who seems to be doing well. So, I threaten Barney and make him give me some of his money. I then give this money to Fred. Now, to Fred, this is “free” money. But is it “free” money to Barney? Didn’t he have to work to earn this money? Wasn’t there a “cost” to him when I threatened him and took his money? And what was the benefit to Barney when I took his money? Fred votes for me? What could Barney have done with that money that I took from him? Maybe he was going to buy a vacation home in Aspen. He would have had to hire an architect to design the house. Maybe Fred is an out of work architect because fewer people have money to build a vacation home. Would it have been better for Fred to earn money designing a home from Barney or just have someone like me take the money from Barney and give it to him? The real winner in this exchange isn’t Fred, it’s me. I get to keep some of Barney’s money and then I hire my sister to keep track of how much money I hand out. I control Barney’s money even though he is the one who worked to earn that money. I have become a Democrat.
I read this title and think, did no one pay attention when conservatives, myself among them, were telling everyone this is what Democratcare would be(?). It didn’t require genius to see what Obama’s Democratcare would do to insurance policies and prices.
FReepers knew this from the beginning
The defenders of Obamacare still cling to the idea that higher premiums equal cheaper insurance, and higher deductibles and paying for unwanted coverage is superior coverage. Next year, when those who have special needs like chemotherapy and dialysis begin to die, this will be cheered as the fulfillment of Obama’s promise of universal healthcare. Thought and reason have been abandoned-long live Big Brother.
Gee... Who could have seen this coming?

I smell an IRS audit on the way.
Does it have this specific analogy of ObamaFlowers? Pass it on and make it go viral —
Obama Flowers - Have you ordered yours yet?
(Receptionist) Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you?
(Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.
(Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November – or maybe December. But I can help you.
(Customer) Thanks, I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife.
(Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
(Customer) But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.
(Receptionist) Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.
(Customer) Well, how much are they?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.
(Customer) What’s the difference?
(Receptionist) 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses.
(Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, what is you monthly income?
(Customer) What does that have to do with anything?
(Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department.
(Customer) FlowerAid?
(Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can’t afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge.
(Customer) Who said they were a Right?
(Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional.
(Customer) Whoa.....I don’t remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right.
(Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a “Tax”. Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.
(Customer) I don’t believe this...
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir?
(Customer) Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year.
(Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.
(Customer) Why?
(Receptionist) To determine what your ‘non-participation’ cost would be.
(Customer) WHAT? Your can’t charge me for NOT buying flowers!
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It’s $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income.....
(Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I’ll pay the $9.50..
(Receptionist) Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.
(Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a ripoff!!
(Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.
(Customer) Look, I’m going to call my Congressman to find out what’s going on here. This is ridiculous. I’m not going to pay it.
(Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that’s why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using.
(Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING?
(Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates sir
(Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door)
(Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice day...and God Bless America.
Yeah, fixing the website just means Americans learn they’ve been screwed all the sooner!
