Obama said my premiums would go down...BS!

[Bradsknives]

So, I'm watching the president's speech today and he is telling everyone that most people's health insurance costs will actually go down because of Obama Care.......Ok this is good I thought to myself. So, I walk down to the mailbox to get the mail, and wouldn't you know it, I received a letter from Anthem BlueCross & BlueShield informing me that my monthly premium will go up almost $100 a month. This translate to a 25% increase monthly. I have a very basic policy just to cover catastrophic type health situations with a $10,000 deductible and they are dinging me for another $100 a month.

Our President is a lying POS!!!

He said it with a straight face...sounded so sincere!

That's about on line with what the actuarial society predicted for Indiana. Yes, you are correct in your assessment.

Anthem sent me a letter too. If I sign the ACA waiver my insurance goes up
$50 per month Jan 1. If I don't sign the waiver and choose ACA my insurance goes down $100 per month for the same coverage, same policy, and same Ins. co. Plus I'm eligible for a govt subsity of up to $5800 to help pay for the policy. I can't believe that Anthem thinks that I'm stupid enough to sign off ACA.

Do you have insurance through your employer? I haven't gotten such a letter yet. They do know how to nudge you in the direction they want you to go.....

obama, the first king of the United States is right, the cost of healthcare insurance to all federal politicians will go down. The rest of the country can and will go to "h" "e" double tooth picks.

My wife and I have individual policies. Under ACA we each get a premium reduction of $100 per month, Plus we are both retired so we our adjusted gross income is less than $62000 which makes us eligble for a $5800 subsidy. Is this a great country or what.

There you go. That is what I thought I understood. I am of the understanding that if you have an employer provided plan and elect to join "the market", you will not be awarded the subsidies. I'll have to pay whatever increases that come my way because of ObamaCare's mandates on my employer's plans unless you want to go it alone. Those with private plans will be assimilated with the lure of cheaper premiums.

What I want to know is, who's picking up the bill on that $5800? That's the real question that should concern us. How is this going to be funded?

 

[Hank in Indiana]

You lost me. If your employer pays for your plan, Why would you pay the increases.

 

[Hank in Indiana]

I and my wife have paid income taxes for almost 50 years. It's about time some of that come back to the people that paid in.

Those are your patriotic duties. (According to our VP). You should be proud to pay those.

 

[Hank in Indiana]

I am proud that I paid. If Im entitled to a subsity to help with my health costs, I'm going to proudly take it. My wife and I are also going to proudly take our social security and medicare when we are old enough to be eligible.

Hell, yes, Hank!! Take that money from your kids and grandkids; money that wouldn't be necessary if the government wasn't mandating that everyone have health care plans. You've worked and paid 3% of your salary for thirty or forty years (nevermind that the government spent that money as fast as you contributed it) so you deserve to ride the gravy train now and to hell with everyone else!

 

[Blackhawk2001]

Of course, Hank, what you apparently don't realize is that in a year or so your health insurance - if you still have it - won't be worth what you're paying for it. Your premiums will continue to rise and sooner than you think the government will run out of "subsidy" money for you. Then you'll be stuck with a worthless healthcare policy in a failing medical system bankrupted by a bankrupt and corrupt government. Best hope you have "the big one" before that happens or you'll be eating dog food along with the rest of your peers.

Blackhawk: Take the money from the kids? Obviously you raised hamsters, not a family. I paid for my kids for almost 25 years, including private colleges. That doesn't include cars, dental care, yada yada yada.

Take money from the kids? Hahahahahaha

 

[Expat]

I just want what I have coming to me...

Who do you think is going to pay the bills your government is running up after you're gone, Manatee? Besides, you chose to create the kids, you should damn well be happy to support them until they're grown; that's part of being an adult - but of course, I shouldn't have to point that out to you, sir.

You are looking at it all wrong... they are not dinging you for an exgtra $100 a month. You are instead generously contributing another $100 a month to pay for someone who is less fortunate to have the same quality of care as you do.

We all have to do our parts!

So where are our INGO Obama lovers today, praising the glorious revolution in wise governance that will catapult America to the leading position among the few remaining socialist nations of the world?
