Anyone else get their 2017 Health Insurance premium notifications yet?
I got my in the mail yesterday...my premium is going from $810/month, to $1178/month. What is that? A 40% increase? Holy Smokes! Since Obamacare was enacted, though 2017, my insurance premiums have more than doubled. Affordable care act?
My agent says that the insurance companies are hemorrhaging money...due to, as anyone with a brain expected, no pre-existing condition exclusions, and no lifetime caps...and because the young healthy people who were expected to sign up due to the mandate aren't signing up...so they have no choice but to raise premiums on the people that do pay.

Havnt got mine yet.
At 61, non smoker, no preconditions, Highmark, a better plan they say, $1,156 a month.
My employer pays half.
Was told last week, expect deductible to go from a grand to 5k.
They might be offering a secondary policy, to cover the deductible.
I got 3 years till I qualify for bc/bs.
Seriously thinking about just going naked, not renewing, watch it, and live clean till 65.
Judy pay the 675 penalty for the year.
Still think they should just expand the VA, and let those that need medical help, anyone, just go there.

I have my agent looking into higher deductible plans...just to see how they would look.
Because your employer pays it all?...Good for you...
Or Because the government subsidy is paying for it?...You're welcome!
thats like a full month salary for me i cant imagine you guys earning the same as we do here
Fortunate that my wife can stay home and raise my four kids...that I have a dirt bike in the garage, and time and money to ride and race it whenever I want, and to keep it running and looking good. It hasn't always been this way though...I've had to work my tail off to get to where I am now. I appreciate the opportunities that have been presented to me, and I'm glad I had the balls to take advantage of them.
Anyway, I pay $32/month with $1k deductible through my employer.
"25% increase this year, higher deductible, also an EPO as opposed to a PPO now. Let us know whatcha wanna do!"

Must be nice to do what you do
Ive just done that for my fire and theft home insurance and i went from 1900 to 1600/ year just by setting them up to each other and i have better coverage now than i did before.
Something that also works around here is combo packages 1 insurance company for al my insurances cars home health etc etc
They all need to make money so a paying costumer thats willing to pay upfront is worth a lot because you r a low risk insurance.
