It's official: years of warnings that Obamacare will lead to dramatic increases in healthcare premiums are about to be validated.
As the WSJ writes, big health plans stung by losses in the first few years of the U.S. health law

JUST Those states ?
How convenient premiums are timed to jump just as Obama is set to leave the WH.
He can claim its too late to do anything about it.

Like I just said on another thread...
We should go back to coverage limits. The insurance I had until 2013 had a lifetime benefit limit of $100,000. 20% copay and $500 deductible. My premium was $34. Generic drugs $10. I’ve never wanted expensive life-prolonging procedures or drugs anyway and certainly no transplants. The consumer should be able to make this choice.
I don’t see California on the list. How can that be?
I just refuse to pay. They can send me to jail.
I’m in California. Mine jumped 21% this year.
Me, also.
The plan all along. He's not going to be around for the fight, it's only going to damage his enemies.
I pay 1900 a month for COBRA. My 60 days and next month plan kicks in June 1. It will cost my family 6k a year for the right to pay the first 13k before the plan kicks anything in.
Further evidence that Obama is a know-it-all stupid POS.
The plan all along was to make it so bad that the people would demand single payer.
I read Trump's plan; I would not characterize myself as a fan of his (or Cruz for that matter). I think his plan would drive competition and lower rates by eliminating the stupid 'state lines'.
The issue with your suggestion is that you end up with people who have some unique health deal and by the time you add up the procedure, the rehab, and the drugs....they’ve spent $100,000 over a four-year period, and they might still be 30 years old.
Over the past forty years, they’ve added procedure after procedure and extended life another ten to twenty years. People have chances now. But all of this relates to some cost and we aren’t talking about $20,000 for the procedure and the drugs anymore.
There’s a test out there for hip-replacement candidates to determine if they are allergic to the material being used. The test, at least in 2012, was running $10,000. Typically, very few insurance companies will cover this test. The doctors will be all positive that 99-percent of their folks don’t have such an allergy. But if you come out of the hospital, and keep having massive inflammation around the hip....it takes about a month for the doctor to admit that you’ve got an allergy and they might have to go for round two of the surgery.
Holy crap!!
That might
Don't know what happened to the rest of that sentence but I typed "That might cover one major surgery and 5-7 days in the hospital".
Thats over 20k per year. What if you just put 1000/month into savings and used that to pay cash for any medical issues?
As I said on the other thread I want no extraordinary medical measures, no bypasses, transplants, neurosurgeries, resuscitations from major accidents, et. all. $100,000 is plenty for me and I should not be required to pay for any more.
