With that deductible, your plan is essentially major medical coverage. But thanks to the liberals, you have to have “free” birth control too, which means your price is way too high for what you get. The political left disgusts me. I liked freedom - when we could choose what products and services we wanted to purchase.

What this guy doesn't get is he is one if the "other people". Millions of illegals want your money, so shut up, check your "white privilege and pay your "fair share", rich guy.

Quite so. The Federal government wants each of us to be looking at someone else, saying, “They’re taking my money!!!” when it’s actually the government taking someone’s money.

This clause should be only for those who pay for it. As I’m one of them and there are 1.33 Million of us who live in chronic pain from incurable diseases or nerve damage, we need our own ins pool. We know we use more healthcare, but know it’s not FREE. But it should not be so high cost we can’t afford it, or the co-pays. This was what was wrong about the old system it froze us out of healthcare.

We need the healthcare to live, what do they want us to do commit Assisted Suicide which is the new name of EUGENICS?

I am the picture of health.. my insurance premiums and deductibles are very expensive. Shouldn’t I be rewarded for maintaining my good health. Lots of sacrifice and saying no to panfuls of warm brownies. I hawk calories to maintain my weight, minimal indulgences.

She has nothing to worry about, At 55 Medical will pick up the shortfall and when you turn 65 and go on Medicare, California will ATTACH A LIEN ON YOUR PROPERTY AND ASSETS to get our TAX MONEY BACK.

My heel needs an operation which with premiums would cost me $13,000.
