Even if monthly premiums are subsidized, the deductible isn’t.

When the takers go to the doc to take, they’ll not be taking. They’ll be paying the deductible for a few thousand $ worth. And that will piss them off.

lol

Unfortunately, the resulting riots will probably cause whatever political opposition there is to fully socialized single-payer medicine to crumble. Which is the intended effect.

Not sure if it is across the board, but some report that the ‘bronze’ plan deductible is $6,000.

That means that amount is paid out-of-pocket by the policy holder before any benefit amount is paid.

[I am not sure whether the deductible includes prescription drugs.]

This morning, FoxNews ran a new graphic showing the number who have lost their insurance at 6.1 million now — no longer 5 million.

More have lost insurance coverage than have signed up for Obamacare.

There will be a huge orchestrated outcry for single-payer. It has all been pre-planned.

Not exactly true. Those below 250% of the FPL get highly subsidized copays and deductibles. Some of those people qualify for $6 copays to see a doctor.

Hey but 1.1 million people have managed to sign up for Medicaid so that the administration can say they signed up for 0bamacare.

^ Among the hardest hit is Campbell, a salesman with a wife and three young children, all of whom are active in athletics. The premium payments currently deducted weekly from his paycheck will increase $77, to a total of $221 per week. “That’s a huge part of the budget,” he said. “We feel betrayed, lied to, and we’re pissed off.”

Well we sounded the warning bells but the the Obama administration, the MSM cheerleaders, and his supporters told you that we were anarchists and your enemies while we tried to save your butts but you wouldn’t listen. You fell right into his trap and he has you where he wants you. Next he will go for your guns, then take away all of your first amendment rights as he decides whether you fall into the productive or useless class before he decides “when” to end your lives.

It will only get a reaction when enough obamacare supporters start dying from it. Maybe Nancy Snyderman’s kids will be the first to go since she made them sign up as a patriotic duty.

“How is this helping the average American that’s working 40 to 50 hours per week?” said Terry Hardcastle, a salesperson. “How are we supposed to live?”

Of course, that's the whole point of Obamacare. Productive, hardworking Americans are expected to pay for the freeloaders.

If Terry wants a better deal the solution is to get fired and go on welfare. Then health insurance will be free.

Punish hard work and success, reward failure and corruption...

Just waiting for O to delay the employer mandate until after the mid-term elections. I'm surprised he hasn't done it already.

Senior Citizens will be the next group who will be pissed off when they find out they will lose their Medicare supplement if it was part of their retirement package when their former company drops their group plans.

2014 will not be a good year for RATs especially all the traitors who voted YES on DeathCare.

How many Obama voters will actually come up with $6,000 to pay a $6,000 deductible when they get something serious? They won’t. There will lots of non payment of deductibles especially by the illiterates and other gimme girls and gimme types

The title suggests that Obunga care actually IS currently popular.
Somewhat of a stretch, IMHO
“OBUNGACARE WILL BE AN EVEN BIGGER TURD IN THE FUTURE!” would be far more accurate, IMHO.

When the bronzees, subsidized and unsubsidized, realize that they are going to pay thousands before anything other than preventative checkups and birth control pills are covered, that their plans are just the same catastrophic plans they could have gotten for 1/3 the price - that's when the backlash starts.

When Joe Bronze breaks his arm and it still costs him 3K$.

It's the first time most moderate-ish Americans will experience directly that it's Obama's policies, and not the evil rich conservatives, causing them misery.
