Cost of cost share for employees, does this sound about right?

[Penelope]

Seems to me this is no cheaper than the ACA , the insurance companies raised the rates and if you think they are going to come down without the ACA, think again. Also , due to right to work laws, many employers are not going to be helping and offering Health insurance if the Republicans have their way, Read about it.
You who voted Pub, in the long run, just votes against yourself.

I saw an ad for donate to cancer research on TV, why I said, only the rich elites will benefit from it. Save your money , your going to need it for Health insurance even those who cost share at work. Tomorrow you can get fired for no reason, just for being old, over 50, had to lay you off , oh sure you can get a lawyer if you can afford to, and you can get cobra for 18 month, at a high price, then you are on your own. Good luck.

Ya know I am really getting sick of liberals on here lying through their teeth hoping to get away with it

 

[saveliberty]

My employer pays half of my premiums and 25% of my spouses. Two thousand dollar deductible for each of us before it is 80/20. That means I paid $5140 personally for coverage and an additional $2300 in deductibles this year. Face it, health insurance is already a myth for the middle class. Only the rich or poor can afford to have it and use it.

I'm retired, but that does not mean I do not believe in affordable health insurance and adequate health care. Your employee can one day not find you to be of value, don't ever count on the goodness of your employer to take care of you.

What a bizarre way of thinking. To you an employer is a teat to nurse off of. Businesses should not be involved in your health care, period. Affordable health care is what you feel like affording. If you want to spend your money on pot and get the most minimum coverage, or none at all that should be your business, not mine.

The more government gets involved the more expensive it gets, like everything else. What a nation of dependent needy lemmings modern liberals have become!

I'm retired, but that does not mean I do not believe in affordable health insurance and adequate health care. Your employee can one day not find you to be of value, don't ever count on the goodness of your employer to take care of you.

This is an interesting point really. My employer has a small life insurance policy for me. Of course that coverage is only available as long as I work for that business. I also have two life insurance policies I personally own.

What makes more sense is my employer paying me what ever they feel is adequate in an insurance stipend, then I can use it to fund a policy I think best meets my needs. If I leave that employer, the insurance can follow me to my next job.

This creates a custom plan that doesn't end with a job.

 

[saveliberty]

I am just going to wonder out loud here for a moment. What if...

Government mandated catastrophic healthcare coverage? Major stuff that extends beyond $20,000 a year in costs. The reasoning is, when a uncovered individual has a major issue, everyone else ultimately pays for that person's irresponsible behavior.

Anything under that is up to the individual to cover or not cover. You want to get a physical, cut stitched up, bone set, birth control pills or antibiotic you decide if it is out of pocket or a policy choice.

My employer pays all my premiums. My wife covers herself through her employer because it's cheaper than me adding her. I cover my kids for less than $50/paycheck and it's a pre tax deduction. The max I will pay out of pocket for myself in a year is $750.

Maybe you should work at being a valued employee they don't want to do without.

I'm retired, but that does not mean I do not believe in affordable health insurance and adequate health care. Your employee can one day not find you to be of value, don't ever count on the goodness of your employer to take care of you.

What you believe in is the government mandating one group of people fund it for another group that won't do for themselves. If you truly cared as much as you say, you'd find all those that you think should have it but don't and pay their premiums with your own money.

As for the employer not finding someone valuable, the doom and gloom didn't work for Hillary and it won't work for you.

Lose your job and then you will be on your wife's, neither of you are self employed if you work for companies that pay your insurance premiums.

What is your issue with the ACA?

 

[Conservative65]

Seems to me this is no cheaper than the ACA , the insurance companies raised the rates and if you think they are going to come down without the ACA, think again. Also , due to right to work laws, many employers are not going to be helping and offering Health insurance if the Republicans have their way, Read about it.
You who voted Pub, in the long run, just votes against yourself.

I saw an ad for donate to cancer research on TV, why I said, only the rich elites will benefit from it. Save your money , your going to need it for Health insurance even those who cost share at work. Tomorrow you can get fired for no reason, just for being old, over 50, had to lay you off , oh sure you can get a lawyer if you can afford to, and you can get cobra for 18 month, at a high price, then you are on your own. Good luck.

Still more doom and gloom.

The government involvement in something for which is has no business. That includes far too many specifics to list.

If Obamacare is such a good program and going to do so much for the people, why the requirement? Things that are supposedly that good shouldn't have to be mandated. If I see something that is a good investment, no one needs to force me to do it.
