Obamacare premiums skyrocketing 78%!

[EconChick]

Obamacare is coming up in exit polls as an issue. Imagine that.

 

[EconChick]

Guess no one on this Board disputes what a disaster Obamacare's been and is going to be.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Has anyone produced an exchange insurance rate that's going up 78% this coming year?

No?

lol

 

[EconChick]

Did you just play a "tooool" again, Carbie, and bump this thread for us???




Everyone knows Obamacare is a disaster.

EVERYONE.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Who only got 78 percent? I'm jealous. My rates more than tripled.

liar

I started a thread on this. My rates went from fifty something to one seventy something per month. I frankly don't care if an asshole such as yourself wants to accuse me of lying. My story is not all that unique. This has happened to plenty of people all over.

Post all the facts you want. RWs love being ignorant. They even brag that they won't look at anything but limbaugh/alex jones and faux.

Better than the view you get looking at Obama's asshole right before you pucker up and kiss it.

Obamacare sends health premiums skyrocketing by as much as 78 percent - Washington Times

Ok liberals, we took your advice and voted for Obama to give us Obamacare in order to fix health care, so I think the only sensible thing to do now is to listen to you again and vote for a single payer system to fix it.

Sound about right you moronic, lying, pieces of filth?

We can only hope those paying more are the ones that voted the POS into office. I know that's not how it probably works but I can still hope.

My current family policy is being canceled. I pay $624 per month. The most similar plan with the same insurance company I can find on the exchange costs $1,407 per month. That's a 125 percent increase. For what family is a $1,407 per month - $16,884 per year - "AFFORDABLE"? And after paying the premiums, there is a $2,600 family deductible and $4,600 family out-of-pocket maximum. Meaning I could easily pay over $21,000 in one year for health insurance and medical bills. Sure sounds "affordable", doesn't it?

And, yes, this is my first post on this forum. I found it by searching for help/advice on how to find an affordable health insurance policy as a self-employed person. The premiums and coverages I'm finding are outrageous. What a friggin' mess. I'd rather have gone to a nationalized single-payer system than this unaffordable monstrosity.

Well,

You must be joking.

No Joking, you can see the results.

I'm pretty sure November 4th spoke more accurately about how American thinks Obama is doing than some silly chart from some unknown website.

How? Do you know something the three insurance agents I consulted do not? I have to choose a worse policy with higher deductibles and a higher OOP maximum and pay much more than I pay now. I would gladly switch to a Canadian/European system rather than pay $10,000 to $17,000 a year for a policy to cover my family. And, yes, that is what it costs.

Please provide the details. Start with the ages of the people in the plan. Number of smokers and number of pregnant persons. The name of the plan that you have now and how you get it ( employer, individual market ) The name of the plan that you are being forced to buy. I will need your state of residence. Zip code is even better. And...finally....the household income.

If you don't provide that info, you will just join the list of losers who want us to believe their bullshit without some kind of vetting.

Let's go. Lay it on me.

Zip code 16601 in PA. 4 people in household , ages 53, 49, 22 and 20. Currently have BC/BS Highmark PPO Blue 1200 HSA plan that costs me $675 per month. It pays for checkups and preventative care, but otherwise has a family deductible of $2,400. It is being canceled. The most similar ACA plan available is Highmark PPO Blue 1300, with a monthly premium of $1,4xx (I forget the exact amount and don't have it in front of me ). This similar plan is 125 percent higher than my current one. I cannot afford to pay $1400 a month, so I am looking at worse plans that have much higher deductibles and OOP maximums as high as $6000-$12000. The plans I see will cost me $866 to 1,160 and have higher deductibles and OOP max than I have now.

I am self employed, so I have to buy my own policy, and our household income varies, but has been just above the $95k limit where you get subsidies. I look forward to your response.

Awesome!

I already found a Highmark Gold plan that is better than the one you had...for $933.

It is called Flex Blue 1200. Check it out.

I would LOVE to see proof that you paid $675 per month for the previous plan on the individual market. You do know that that plan had coinsurance for your primary doc and generic drugs....right?

My dad got a notice the day, insurance for he and my mom is going to $1250 a month for just the two of them. $2500 deductible.

They did not go through the exchange.

Dad's 63, mom's 62. Dad's self employed, mom doesn't work full time.

I've tried talking them into at least looking on the exchange, but mom's scared to change insurances.

They can afford it, but it's still ridiculous.
