Florida woman's insurance rate increases from $54 to $591 under Obamacare

[Little-Acorn]

And the hits just keep on coming.

Have the people who came up with this scheme, explained where citizens will get the extra money every month, they are required to pay for Obamacare?

Florida Woman's Insurance Rate Increases 10X Under Obamacare

One Florida woman is going from paying $54 a month to $591 under Obamacare, CBS reports:

"For many, their introduction to the Affordable Care Act has been negative: A broken website, and now cancellation notices from insurance companies, followed by sticker shock over higher prices for the new plans," says a CBS reporter. "It's directly at odds from repeated assurances from the president."

Obama is quoted as saying, "If you like your insurance plan, you will keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you."

"But people across the country are finding out they're losing their existing insurance plans under Obamacare," says the reporter. "In Florida, at least 300,000 people are losing coverage."

"When I got this bill, I was outraged," CBS quotes a 56-year-old Florida resident who got dropped from her health care plan.

Her new plan will be 10 times higher than what she's paying now, jumping from $54 a month to $591.

"What I have right now is what I'm happy with, and I just want to know why I can't keep what I have," says the woman. "Why do I have to be forced into something else?"

I'm sure she'll vote democrat in 2014 and 2016 though. Just ask the USMB LOLberal crowd.

 

[Claudette]

Color me shocked.

You mean the Affordable Care Act isn't cheaper??

WOW Just WOW.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Sent her a bill? Obamacare doesn't send you a bill.

Sent her a bill? Obamacare doesn't send you a bill.

Obamacare changed how insurance companies can cover people, thus requiring this woman to pay far more than she wants to.

Keep trying to dodge with semanitcs the fact that this rollout has been a clusterfuck, people are not saving money, and the whole plan of getting healthy people to cover for the massive influx of sick people is dead in the water.

As a critical thinker, I can't help but notice how short and uninformative that article is. That is some of the worst journalism I have ever seen. That's what you get when you read blogs.

1) The article makes no mention of how the new policy compares to the old policy. It is an apples and oranges comparison. Her new policy has much more coverage.

Yes, it is absolutely wrong the woman is not being allowed to keep an insurance policy the government has decided is substandard for her needs. The government should not be deciding what is best for me.

2) She is not being forced to buy the $591 policy. It is what her old insurance company is offering as a replacement. She is free to buy another policy from another company on the exchange.

3) The article makes no mention if the woman qualifies for a federal subsidy which will pay for most, if not all, of her new policy. The video DOES say she is eligible for subsidies. So she may end up actually paying LESS for her insurance. And she will have a better policy than her old one.

4) The article says, "at least 300,000 people are losing coverage". I can guarantee you this is a lie of omission and thus blows the integrity of the report right out of the water. This woman is an example. She lost her OLD coverage, but now has NEW coverage being offered to her. This is the case with most, if not all, of those 300,000 the hack writer says are losing their coverage.

The people who are receiving cancellation notices are people who have policies that are not comprehensive enough under the ACA regulations.

Just as I did not believe the Democratic claim there were "46 million uninsured Americans", I do not believe the Republican claim flying about that "16 million Americans" are losing their health insurance.

Yes, Obama's claim you could keep your insurance was a massive lie. Absolutely. But the Right is not being entirely truthful, either.

Enough of this BS... A Single person age 40 making $35,000 or more a year gets a tax credit of $0.00
A Married couple making more than $61,000 per year does not qualify for for a tax credit either.
So again the working middle class is screwed not to mention there appears to be a marriage penalty associated with the tax credit but that is normal for the Dem to penalize those that are married.

Anthem Blue Cross had a plan for non-smokers, with an excessive deductible likely to fit into a Medical Savings Account. Once all the medical life-savings are exhausted, then this happens:

"When you do meet your deductible, you're still likely to have a co-pay or co-insurance for your medical needs. A co-pay is the fee you pay when you visit a doctor; co-insurance is the percentage of the total bill that you pay."

It's almost like paying $54.00 per month for no health insurance at all!

According to your link, a single mother of 2 children who earns $35,000 would have a $5,739 annual premium and would receive a $3,220 subsidy. This works out to her share being $209 a month.

A couple earning $61,000 a year with 2 children would have a $8,267 annual premium, with a $3,197 subsidy. That works out to $422.50 a month.

Median household income is about $50,000.


Both of those policies are far, far cheaper than what an employer would be paying for health insurance for those two families.

Again you are talking as if the "Subsidy" is a given! It is not. If you are making middle class wages you will not qualify for a subsidy. Obama screws the middle class again.

That is patently false. I just proved it by using your own link!
