I oppose Obamacare. For me and my husband, our Medicare Advantage plan premiums stayed the same as last year.
GO TO TEXAS OR THE DAKOTAS businesses are thriving and freedom rings LOUDLY!!!!!!!!!
It’s worked out great for us.
In a mere 13 Months, our Health Care Coverage Premiums only increased a paltry 50%.
My sincere thanks go out to Pres__ent Obola, Nancy Piglosi and Harry (the Undertaker) Reid.
My mother’s MA plan premium is going up by about $20/month. Not a huge amount.
I just relocated to Texas from California in August. My husband lost his job in November 2013 and he had no luck in finding a job.
We sold our home and moved to Texas because it is cheaper and we are hoping he will have better luck with employment here.
Funny, I don’t see anything about the outrageous cost to Taxpayers or the fact that one out of every four Doctors aren’t participating.
Lies and propaganda right before the election. Like the bogus job numbers. I’m shocked, SHOCKED!
I suppose it depends on your measure of success — given that the citizens of the US haven’t dangled congressmen from lampposts in outrage at being extorted by the Frankensteinian fine/tax and burned alive the black-robed god-kings that pushed that monster on the rest of us… yes, it has succeeded quite well.
She and her husband are now without insurance. Well...yes, they could get insurance @ + $750/mo with $8000 + deductible. No they do not have insurance as they once did. They are not going to pay a deductible more than their insurance. They did not buy into Obama Care (as he, Obama, fondly likes to call it) but chose to be without.
The place I work for has always had an excellent health plan—until last year that is. Last year, our plan was changed to an Obama compliant plan and I don’t know a single one of us who’s happy with it. Our annual deductible went from $250/y to $1500/y, our DME copay went from 20% in plan/50% out to 50% in/80% out, all three tiers of our formulary copay increased 100%, Our standard office copay was $20 in plan/$30 out and is now $30 in/$50 out, our provider pool decreased quite a bit(two of my six Doctors are now out of plan), our maximum annual out of pocket increased from $1000/year to $4500/year.
We have some people who were hit pretty hard because of these changes, my one young coworker especially. She has two preteen kids, both with childhood health issues, one epilepsy and the other has lupus. Their dad is in jail for 10 years and she’s pretty much on her own. She’s actually considered trying to get fired so that she can go on social services because she would actually come out ahead financially. There are really only two things keeping her here, her pride, and the fact that our company is covering her tuition to help her finish up her degree.
'nuf said.
Journalists are just insufferable. Constantly pretending to be honest and partial distributors of the truth, well every last one of them are rabid far left socialists.
Lots of these "success stories" don't speak of people who paid a month's premium, then decided even that was too much.
So a foolish doctor who treated a patient after the Medicaid policy expired get... NOTHING.
They do however get all of the liability if something goes wrong.
Lawyers. What's not to love about them?
The entire reason Obamacare or single payer will never work in the US is that there is absolutely no protection for doctors.
In glorious paradise countries with single payer, the loser pays in a malpractice case, so lawsuits are rare.
These countries also have rationed and delayed care, which NO American would tolerate.
The result equals a complete crashing of the system.
It's "working" for them.
You? Take two tablets and die already.
I wonder who worked harder on this article, the cherry-pickers or the hair-splitters?
When I read “after a full year in place” I stopped reading. The employer mandate has been delayed until after the election. My son, just married, has a $5,000.00 deductible policy so he puts off certain things. So while having insurance he can not afford health Care!
What percentage of Americans are now dependent on a government subsidy to afford their health insurance?
I would like to move to one of the states where they hunt democrats with dogs.
