I just paid 44 bucks for medicine that used to cost me 50 cents. No kidding. Thanks to Obama.

OMG! A loaf of bread is up to $1.99, thanks to Obama!

My carrier jacked my premium by $100/month this year as a result of it being amended to ACA compliance.

Next month, It will go up an additional $150/month. Why? To match the rates of the cheapest healthcare.gov policies.

We can not be paying $1,200/month with $13,000 annual family co-pay and $12,000 out of pocket AND expect to keep the kid in college, pay the mortgage, make estimated tax payments on the C-Corp portion of my income, pay real estate taxes, utilities, grocery bills, home and auto insurance premiums, blah blah blah...

Fuck this shit.

Yeah it is a little like people watching the weather forecast for "proof" that global warming is a farce. In fact, I'd wage prices for insurance would be going up even faster without ACA - it's a fundamentally dysfunctional market.

The thing is, that's really what needs to happen.

Dblack,

My career was underwriting and pricing group health insurance. During the Carter years (which is when the bill finally came due for LBJ's Great Society and Vietnam combined) I was factoring in a medical inflation rate of 21% per year in all my group health insurance premium renewals (24% for RX costs).

Poor seniors are the ones who really got screwed by Obamacare.

Yep. It's a train wreck. And the sooner it skids to a stop, and people figure out that they can't use insurance to avoid health care bills, the sooner we can get things back on track.

As a senior, I've never been happier with my health insurance, except for the donut hole for RX.

 

[Vandalshandle]

When I started pricing group health insurance in June, 1966, the average benefits were $25 per day hospital room and board (31 days), $400 surgical, and $5,000 lifetime max Major Medical, at a cost of about $30 per month.

...and ground meat was $.33 per pound.

I'm speaking of poor seniors living only on Social Security who only have Medicare.

 

[BULLDOG]

Mine went up this year too, and it hasn't done that in several years. I guess that's because nobody would sell me insurance until Obamacare came along. I'd much rather have a little bump in price every once in a while than to go back to no insurance available to me at all.

Uh, you just might want to think that through and edit accordingly.

FACT is, ObamaCare makes it easier for seniors.

 

[Votto]

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
