So, you know something I don't about my premium? lol
Seriously, it has been increased 78% this year. My plan is effective 1 October yearly

So now you're backpeddaling about your premiums going up $168 a month? These are the kinds of things that cause people to disrespect your posts. Your premiums are not going up that amount every month because of Obamacare.
Stay with me. The 76% equals $168.00 a month.

Like I have said in other post. I worked hard for the insurance coverage I have. With implementation of Obamcare, my portion of the monthly premium has increased 76%, or $168.00/month
In 2012, my max out of pocket expense AFTER, my copay of then $100 for up to 5 days for hospitalization, ( misspoke and said one time $100) after that I have the standard coinsurance max out of pocket of $4500. There is no cap on hospital coverage under my plan.
In 2013, my premium has increased 76% ($168.00 month) for
$150/ for up to 5 days, and max out of pocket is still $4500 per year
Copay for office visit increased from $15 to $20
Of course, my insurance had periodic increases over the years. Nothing, and I mean nothing compared to a 76% increase in one year.
Obamacare is cost prohibitive for many
