Healthcare for my husband and me... this year will be $16,320 - up $360 a month from last year... !!!

um...holy shit.

Get ready.

To the Moon! It will keep climbing due to increased regulations, taxes, and bureaucracy.

Forward!

Why not just spend that much on organic food and massages?

Get ready to start traveling- you will need to save cash for the airlines,

What a SCAM Obama care is... saying it will be cheaper...

Yea right..... Really we are 60 so we must pay for 5 more years... before we qualify for Medicare.

I am sure not many 60 year olds have the income that we have to pay... what will they do????

My husband is retired... and this is his RETIREMENT FAMILY RATE... can you imagine.

I think they are raising it higher to see if some will DROP the policy.

This is a LOT of money.

This is so sad. I looked at what my kids will pay and it is sad. These people will throttle back a little bit here to a level which people will accept, for example, they now want to postpone the medical devices tax because companies are laying off so many people. Hopefully the fiscal cliff causes outright opposition.

^^this is so true^^^

The parasites are feeding well off of you.

Ours went up $46 per month 2 months ago in anticipation of O care expenses. We're thinking it will go up again after the first of the year, for a total close to what you are paying and this from a private union.
In the US now, you have to make more than 60K per year in order to be getting close to the same benefits that welfare recipients get.
Of course if you make more than 250k per year, you'll get super raped when you pay taxes.
People I know who are working for unions are having a hard time paying for their insurance NOW.
I truly think the plan is to bring the middle class to its knees, forcing a civil event between the so called
'haves', who are super raped by the system, and the so called 'have not', who are coddled by that same system.
It looks inevitable now. Forward!

Had a discussion with the cashier at the grocery store over the weekend who told me the insurance at that job was AWESOME, and you only needed to average 20 hours a week to get it. So I think her job probably sucked pay wise but still insured.

So I wonder if this is the future, be poor and work for health insurance instead of decent pay?

Just for the record, OP, you're quoting a price for health INSURANCE, which is not health CARE.

Allowing the insurance companies and government to conflate the two in our minds and daily experiences is a huge part of the problem here.

Expalin the differnce please? smile.

Yea, I told my husband if it contines to grow over the next 4 years... I might need to take a job just to be on a cheaper health care plan.

$1360 a month? How much do you go to the Dr.?

Maybe Insurance would get the message if we all started putting that $1360 a month into our own savings account, drawing the interest and then just paying for your Dr. Appt out of that.

How many times a month do y'all actually go to the Dr.?

How much do you spend in prescriptions?

Sit down and figure it out.

For eye insurance, My husbands company wanted us to pay about $90 a month. Your Health Insurance usually covers an annual eye exam. So we quit getting the eye coverage and pay for my daughters contact lenses out of pocket and save about $720 a year with that.

Why would you need that insurance? If you are healthy and eat right, you are wasting money on insurance you simply do not need.

So the govt is giving the PREMIUM Health CARE... Not Health Insurance???

HEalth care would include preventative measures.... where health insurance is for issues that come up???

Is this right?

move to cuba. Healtcare is much cheaper and better then usa

But all the po people will have healthcare now. I'm sure they appreciate you.

I am I am I am... I have not taken anything since I was 18.

But when you hit 60... you think about these things more.

We own our home... and would not want to loose our investment due to some health care issues down the road.

Would you agree that is more of a PROTECTION of your investments... money and property?

one issues could wipe you out???

Right?

I would not have the same opportunites of the illegals here in the USA that get everything for FREE.... they would take my personal property and assets.

Sure am glad all those Health Insurance Companies are getting richer and richer. Thank you, Obama.

Health CARE, you care for yourself by getting educated and being healthy.

Health INSURANCE, you have a corporation and mind controlled people with degrees insuring you pay up and are a lifelong "client." And believe me, once they stick their needles in you, you will need "THEIR INSURANCE PLAN."

If you cannot read between the lines, then why don't you get a swine flu shot and the other 25 vaccinations kids now get that you didn't when you were younger so THEIR INSURANCE insures you stay on the plan.

It's for health insurance. Not medical bills.

Although, if they weren't paying so much for health insurance, they'd be able to afford healthy food and massages so your post is correct :)

If a majority of the healthcare system was not a scam or BS, I would participate in it. But I have done my research along with my own experiences to know exactly what it is. It is not really for our protection or health. Quite the opposite. It is a for profit industry which places profits before people. This is where evil overrides good in ANY industry. Yes, there is A LOT of good in it and many people do get healthy, but when you place profits before people, you have crossed the line.

Maybe Obama Care will be different, I AM not sure but right now it is one of the most corrupt and evil industries in the world.

What you also fail to realize is that you don't really own anything. This is where your thinking has went awry. We die with skin and bones that become dust.

A home is shelter to live in.

People get sick over 60 from lack of proper health care which 9 times out of 10 is due to the food they eat or poisons they have put in their body. But I do understand why you would want or need it at this age. You are caught between a rock and a hard place.

One issue could wipe you out if you don't claim bankruptcy to protect your home.

2 yrs ago our (wife and myself) medical ins was going to increase from $13k per year to $29500 per year keeping our same deductions. That sounded bad but reading on, a family of four would have had to pay $66,000. We made different arrangements.

More like a Protection Racket, you know, like the Mafia used (still does) to 'give' people?

You mean insurance, not healthcare. You should have been putting your money in the bank.

All chronic disease diabetes, heart disease and cancer is caused by eating trans fat and white sugar.

All the medical treatments for chronic disease do not work. The drugs will kill you over time with or without the disease.

That so you can pay for everyone else's abortions....
All those overdose cases.....
All those welfare people who use ambulances and ERs for a toothache...

I'm post menopause but I am still REQUIRED to have OB/GYNE coverage.

If you voted for him, don't complain.
If you didn't get to Your senators and representatives when o care was before congress, again, don't complain.
