Exactly. The whole OBZOCARE has been a complete disaster for the middle class. My employer used to provide health insurance free to the employees. Now, they can’t, so I have to pay $800 PER MONTH for what used to be a ‘BENEFIT’.

AND TO TOP IT OFF, THE LOCAL MEDICAL CENTER, WHERE MY DOCTORS ARE, WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS BCBS INSURANCE ‘BRONZE PLAN’ SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL SERVICES OUT OF MY POCKET, NO CO-PAY, NO PRESCRIPTIONS....................................

My union negotiated a really great plan with my employer. It cannot be touched or modified until 2022. It's expensive, $125 per week for a family plan, but it covers everything everywhere. Oddly enough the only time I've had to pay anything is during the yearly wellness checkup which has guidelines under Obamacare. I end up getting denials of coverage and have to pay for those parts Obamacare has woven into the SOP's of the annual checkup.

So now we don't do anything preventive by definition. We just say we have this or that and fold it in with non routine care.

Obama's peeps are already furious about this copay stuff of $5/10K. It's very under reported. I hear about it in the waiting rooms every time I go to the doctor. (I live in Memphis)
