Anyone that is young and healthy and making too much for subsidies get hurt...but they are the ones that pay for the entire program...so yeah, I hate it. More money for worse coverage for me.
I just got the quarterly bill today $1368.00 That equals $452 a month and then $3500 out of pocket
I inquired about trying to save money and have been told not to let my current policy lapse because it's the best deal out there for me.
So yea FK Obama and his affordable health care.

We got dropped a few times, pay about 30% higher premiums for less coverage, have fewer options for providers, have been unable to see the same doctor twice in 3 years, have to spend a few hours each month on the phone to square away an endless stream of mistakes on their end while they adjust to the new rules, all that fun stuff.
But with all the new rules ("life changing event" + open enrollment period + pre-existing clause), we were able to bounce around coverage plans and only spend a grand total of $450 to have our kid delivered.
That's kind of an exception though I guess, I expect I'll be paying the difference back many times over from now on :/
We have I think it's called Highmark at work.
I'm 61.
I pay half of 941.00 a month.
I pay I think 40 a month for dental.
I pay some kind of Medicare payment, maybe 20 a month.
I pay social security, which my employer has to match
My employer also has to carry workmens comp.
I think we have 1000 deductible.
I can not get care unless everything that transpires between myself and a doctor is entered in a national database.
And I'm told that doctor will only prescribe and treat me as the insurance carrier allows.
I hope it all implodes, id like to see every insurance company, broker and government official involved with this
done away with.
Just my opinion.
The only good thing that I see is that an insurance company can not deny coverage for pre-existing conditions. Keep that and use the rest of the 4000 pages to start a bonfire.
Yes I feel fucked by AHCA
My boss saw how much I was suffering and told me to quit and go on disability. This was an office job.
So I was pretty much screwed despite paying $270/month for insurance. Got my hip fixed three years ago and 99% of the pain is gone. Raising my daughter would have been a complete bitch with my messed up hip.
One day she got bitten by a tick and came down with Lyme disease that almost killed her. She was in a bed for years, no doctor could figure it out.
She lost everything after she blew through her insurance. She went hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. Ended up living in her car for a bit (before I met her) because her family would not take care of her.
What some of the idiots in America don't realize is how bad our system was. It's simple- get chronically ill, you get tossed aside to die.
We are the only advanced nation where this happens, pretty much, all because of an incredibly stupid "survival of the fittest" mentality that is propagated by the Republican party and the simplistic, ignorant outlook of many of its followers.
I think it's more ignorant to expect others to pay for your thrills...but that's just my opinion.
I paid for my hip operation- it was not free. I think the issue is paying a reasonable price, rather than a super-inflated price based on a ridiculous medical system.
All of a sudden everybody is worried about doctor's profits.
I never said Obamacare was great. The question was how it affected us personally.
Pre-existing condition was always bullshit. They will insure you for anything except the stuff you might need.
Huck's opinion is that I took something from someone else to get healthy. My opinion is that the cost of my hip operation was lowered to something a reasonable person could afford.
Pit Row
I've heard nothing but horror stories from friends with families who rates have just sky rocketed.
I guess if I had my way, you would have the choice to pay for health care or not pay for it. It costs the same for every person on it regardless of circumstance. If you opted not to pay for it, and needed it, you're going to pay the going rate at the hospital. That's all a very vague and general way to look at it and it's a fairly complex problem. But leaving the insurance companies involved, while giving it the spice of a very inefficient government management, it just seems like a recipe for a long term disaster. At best, we just changed things for the sake of change.
Health care coverage has always gone up every year. Seems like it's REALLY gone up this past year(s). I pay less, but now have to use a high deductible plan. cost me $100 to go to the doc for the sniffles.
And I'm a healthcare worker....
So after getting married and since obamaScamaCare went into effect in I'm paying 5x more. Thanks government.
When I get married in October and add my fiancé she will be added as bronze dependent at $3200 a year. If she meets the coordinates are requirements she will dropped to 1980 a year. Plus my 999 a year.
Yayy. Makes sense to get married. Not really?!
Oh and I couldn't keep my dermatologist for some reason. Because my benefits cut the out of network doctors. And won't accept him as in network. Even though he is phenomenal. They don't wanna pay well for a good doctor. So they try to make see a shitty one. THANKS. So now I worked out a cash deal with him in conjunction with my insurance.
If a person has totaled 5 cars, shouldn't their auto insurance be more than mine, who has never gotten a ticket?
Am I the only one who's noticed all the new medical facilities that have been popping up all over the place?
How about the sudden influx of prescription drug commercials on our TVs?
Everyone from the pill pushers to the brain surgeons are cashing in on the rest of us.
The only real fix is to nationalize health care, like the rest of the civilized world.
Not from what I understand.
Certainly not in my case.
I read an article maybe a week ago, the reason a lot of insurers are dropping out of obamacare is that the young
generations, under 30, aren't getting anything, no insurance. Even tho their rates are half of what a baby boomer pays.
hey, why bother, just hang on mommies plan till 26 and worry about the rest later.
I don't agree.
Deregulate.
Free college for 6 years if you want to become a doctor.
Strip all the patent rights from the drug companies.
Max cap on malpractice, say 200,000.
Had a workmanship comp claim last year.
6 stitches from some sheet metal on right hand.
Our office was lax, forgot a few of the dozens of reports they require, doctor sent me a letter to pay.
Looking at the bill, just under a grand, I notice the basic office visit was 200.
Sign on the door says office visit is 69.00.
Asked them about it, their reply, if it's government it's 200, individual that walks in, 69.
And Bernie wants more taxes, for more government.
Don't make me retell the story about my $13,000 kidney stone.
Please do.
How much did the doctor get of that 13 large, and how much did everyone else get?
