"Obamacare Nightmare 2015" - coming soon in a meeting/mailbox near you.

Our letter arrived yesterday....Our insurance will go up $320 per month for everyone who has a spouse on the plan, and is able to get insurance at their employer. Obviously since there is no way in hell you can get single coverage health insurance for $320 a month - everyone will be forced to pay it.

#2 - My neighbor came over last night, furious...they had a company meeting yesterday about health insurance. The company said they had no choice but to significantly increase the employee burden of their plan.
His insurance will go up $117 per pay period - $234 a month.

More to come.....
My plan went up $250.00 a month last Jan. I hope it doesn't go up again this Jan.

My deductible went from $300 to $1,000, and all co-pays for meds will be up 50%.

Guess I am not a welfare bum, so I don't benefit from Obamacare.

Hell, somebody has to pay for letting all the losers who failed to get insurance into the pool with "pre-existing conditions".

I want some life insurance on my pre-existingly dead parents.
 
My plan went up last year, and I expect to see it again this year. Someone has to pay for the lazy deadbeats to go to the movies, have a cell phone, and a nice car. Don't worry about your healthcare, we got you covered there.

You left out tattoos.

Somebody has to pay for the tattoos.
 
You can have your own plan, Frank, pay for it and don't depend on the govt.

The mainstream GOP has accepted the reality that ACA is here to stay.
Most dangerous place on USMB is between Starkey and a post critical of Obama

Frank, you are not mainstream, and yes you will accept ACA if you are going to be an important part of the GOP.
 
This thing you people supported is now coming to bite you in the ass. In a way you all deserve it who voted for Obama

Not a conspiracy anymore: The left cheers as employers scale back health coverage

Even before the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, its conservative critics warned of the perverse incentive contained within the law which could prompt employers to reduce the health benefits they offered to some of their employees.
“Because of the magnitude of the new subsidies created by Congress, the economics become compelling for many employers to simply drop coverage and help their employees obtain replacement coverage through an exchange,” former Tennessee Gov. Philip Bredesen warned in a 2010 op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.
“Providing incentives for employers to dump their employees into the exchanges is simply shifting the cost burden to taxpayers,” The Daily Signal’s Alyene Senger cautioned less than two years later. “Whatever the employer-dumping study du jour says, it’s not good for Americans who want to keep their employer-sponsored coverage in the new Obamacare era.”
Citing prominent Democrats like Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), who told a Nevada media outlet that the ACA was a way in which the country could begin to “work our way past” the private insurance model, some conservatives charged that Obamacare was designed to kick start the process of dismantling the system of employer-based insurance.
The law’s backers predictably dismissed the concerns of these and other Obamacare critics. Some derided their criticisms charitably as reflective merely of a misunderstanding of basic capitalist incentive structures. Others, who were perhaps less inclined toward charity, derided Obamacare’s Cassandras as mere kooks and conspiracy theorists.
Citing a Modern Healthcare survey of employers in March, 2013, Think Progress blogger Sy Mukherjee observed that only 6 percent of employer respondents planned to transition their employees away from sponsored health coverage. “That assessment stands in stark contrast to some Obamacare opponents’ more outlandish claims,” he wrote. “[C]onversations about Obamacare tend to devolve into varying degrees of hysteria and fear-mongering that aren’t based in the reality of what the reform law will do.”
Vox.com founder and former flagship blogger for The Washington Post’s Wonkblog, Ezra Klein, has been perhaps the most prolific author of pieces dismissing the concerns of those who suggest large employers would scale back health benefits.
“Employers offer health insurance because employees demand it,” Klein wrote in the spring of 2013. “If you’re an employer who doesn’t offer insurance and your competitors do, you’ll lose out on the most talented workers. An employer who stopped offering health benefits would see his best employees immediately start looking for other jobs.”

So are you going to give up your free medicaid that you say you get an buy your own health insurance?
 
Only because we live in a complex society that requires us to work together for the betterment of us all.

You don't like that, I know, so understand this carefully: I don't care what folks like you think about the social compact.

What I do care about is that if you are going to partake in this wonderful country, you are going to contribute to the social compact.

Period.

So the "betterment of us all" - is to create a massive plan:
1) That does not address the CORE PROBLEM??? (extremely high cost)
2) ...is called "Affordable Healthcare coverage" - but is in reality catastrophic-only coverage????
3) That is raising premiums WHILE reducing coverage for the vast majority "of us all" to make up for the cost of covering the few???

I could go on...it is a terrible/horrible plan that is now showing it's ugly face now that the delays Obama put in place to get past last years election are expiring.
THIS WAS NOT THE ANSWER - which is what we have been saying all along
 
You could not go on with anything worthwhile at all. Most of what you cry about is not so.

This is what we have because we failed before for decades, now we have it and we can reform and make it better.

You on the far right can get on board to help make it better or just stay out there yelling.
