What a surprise!
No...really? That explains the FOUR Bill Pay Accounts I am managing to pay off my deductible. And if my employer didn’t kick in an extra $1,000. I would have had to buy Supplimental Insurance.
Signpost...
SINGLE PAYER AHEAD
So I guess that “$2500 back in your pocket” thing isn’t working out. Barack Hussein Obama in nothing but a liar. Everything he spews is a lie and yet, endless lines of freeloaders line up to lick his feet. This mess isn’t costing them anything.
They were artificially low to help sell the program.
This is ridiculous - its gotta stop.
Yet the GOP won't do a damn thing about it. They wont't even acknowledge that there are millions like me having to deal with these astronomical cost increases.
Wasn’t the KFF totally in the tank for Obamacare?
I got a booklet for my current Medicare Advantage with costs for next year (assuming I keep this plan).
Premium (in addition to the Medicare premium) goes from $0 to $10 per month.
Preferred Doctor reduces from $12 to $6.
Generic prescriptions (in the formulary) increase from $3 to $6.
Prescription deductibles will go from $0 to $175.
Small increases, but like the cable bill, a dollar here and 3-dollars there. It adds up, especially considering that the Social Security increase for next year will be $0.
I have an aging friend who is basically unemployable who got the dirt cheapest plan just to avoid the tax...., oops! I meant “penalty.” I asked him what his plan does for him (diabetic) and he replied that it doesn’t do squat without him forking over hundreds of dollars every month.
In other words, these plans are “protection money.”
It was all LIES
For the first time in my adult life I have no health insurance because of obamacare. I can’t afford any of the policies anyone offers. I hope I make it to Medicare before I get sick.
Obamacare's main impact is in the individual insurance market and it's a real stretch to blame increased employer pass through costs on the ACA.
The "leftists" only acknowledge this because they're going to go after the employers next as the boogeymen in this whole debacle...
More "class warfare"...beyond sick and tired of those bastards in DC...all of them and especially the USSC for not stopping this abomination in its tracks when they should have.
Typical. Blame others for the evil they inflict.
I can’t say I’m surprised.
Didn’t supporters of Obamacare promise that this would never happen?
So, where is all of that money going? And who is it going to?
I guess that when the government requires that you purchase a product from a private entity, that private entity will wring every nickel that they can out of people.
Man, I wish that I had a business that can use the government to force people to purchase my product at gun point, and I would be able to set my own price at whatever I desire it to be.
The perks of being a crony.
When you receive your health insurance bill, remember that contraception is required by the government from your healthcare provider even for involuntary anal sex!
as a provider I am seeing people who have to max out their 3-6K deductibles before coming in. And some of these poor souls do it in the first quarter or the year. Young families are struggling
