Home Depot Drops Big Obamacare Surprise on 20,000 Employees

With all the money the companies save, they'll be able to raise the average hourly wage nationwide ! Win..win.







NOT !!!!!!

Huh, my uninsured niece will now have insurance for about $20 Month.

Sure they can! Just trot right out and get one right now. Come back and tell us all about it and its wonderful "coverage"!

Look, Mommy! A troll!

Forgot to add....COBRA costs me over $6000 a year BEFORE out of pocket is met. My OOP is $5800. I wonder how much I'll pay for ACA? More than $11,800? Add the meds in, another 1500 OOP.... Chemo, $1600 PER freakin WEEK.

I made around $42,000 with a masters. Ten years in my industry. That well above the median income range in Merica.

Worked and paid into the system all my life. I'm 46. Never took sick days. I got diagnosed eighteen months ago. Exhausted FMLA, temporary disability, donated hours and all vacation / sick time. They let me go. Can't find employment now due, largely, to my medical condition and the mountain of bills.

My slice of the expenses topped $30,000 last year alone. Every time I go in for a scan it adds $4200 dollars to the tab. Even with COBRA, I'm topping $20,000 annually in OOP. That almost half of my previous income.

How, in the actual fuck, is The ACA gonna be a raw deal in my case?
Am I a freeloader? Should I just fucking die and stop being a burden to society?

Yea, we will see what kind of tune you whistle when your earth craps out. Maybe god will cure you with magic and the laying on of sweaty hands.

Wow! Another obot! Just lookit them spamming away!

You far right NeoCon knuckleheads and you far Left NeoLib numbskulls will never get it....IT'S A FAKE LEFT RIGHT PARADIGM, THEY WORK TOGETHER--STAPLE THAT TO YOUR HEADS AND DON'T FORGET IT!

Of course, you realize it is impossible to provide medical care for that amount so just who do you suppose is going to make up the difference? Apparently, you don't care as long as it's not you. Some of us feel differently about that.

Employers used to provide health coverage as an incentive for employees to come to work for them. Some paid the whole cost, others paid a portion, but it was always there if you wanted it.

As the employment dynamic has changed to favor the businesses, the companies stopped providing any kind of coverage. They were greedy, but didn't want to seem that way. You could tell by the looks on their faces when they tell you that they don't provide coverage.

Enter Obamacare which has given the employers an out. They now provide you with and make you sign an information sheet on the public exchanges. This allows them to essentially steal the money that they were giving employees before and it is justified by the federal government.

is you.....

Really? Fucking idiot. Can't deal with an actual real life scenario so you scream troll. Life is not like Duck Dynasty. Melvin.

Let the train wreck happen.
The only way the sheep wake up is when it personally affects them.

2014 and 2016 elections coming....and so will be a TOTAL Obamacare repeal.

Change by random chaos frightens people.

Change by design is ok with them.

They don't like it at first but when they have no choice but to change, new habits are formed quickly and old patterns forgotten.

So $240 a year is going to cover all her medical bills? It won;t even cover an E.R. visit. Who do you think is going to pay for that? Or do you think doctors are going to start working for $10 an hour?

It will lower insurance costs for many, no more pre-existing conditions either.

Most people don't use the insurance and pay into it over a lifetime. That's how insurance works. Even in the present system. Plus, ACA caps payment on meds and services. I used to work finance for a major transplant program. Do you know that the hospital makes a profit, a healthy one, on anything over 38%? True story. Everything else is pure cheese. It costs me and you around $90,000 for a kidney, plus meds, etc. The actual costs are around 18,000. The non profit hospital marks it up. I know. I saw it first hand. That includes the surgeons $8500 per hour fee.

True. Read the facts.

Absolutely ! Remember the liars pledge that people who had insurance would not se a change and could keep things the same if they wanted to including doctors ? Well ,that was complete bullshit,lol

ObamaCare is Obama's fault





.

That is the cost for a Platinum Plan -> $21 to $50 Month.

With an annual income of under $15,282 her cost with be $0

As a side question....how is your car insurance gonna cover your car wreck for $50 a month? Wow, kind of a dumb question now. Wanna rethink your logic?

They will pay less. That's a change I would like to see. You should read the plan. You might actually be surprised.

We are the ONLY industrialized nation that doesn't do this. It's not the end of the world.

First off, the businesses are not STEALING money because it is their money in the first place. Secondly, these businesses cannot complete against China and other countries when they all have to have health insurance clearing houses set up in their respective HR departments. Now, if these businesses CHOOSE to retain good employees by offering them higher wages, they MAY have some additional flexibility to do so. Corporatism is a two way street, it only works when the politicos are in place to make it all happen.

I guess you are the only one who knows anything about insurance and people like me who were married to a practicing physician for 25 years are just totally ignorant on this subject.

We have no idea on the operating costs of hospitals or anything else, right? Not even with being a working spouse of Chief of Medical Staff or years and so forth.

Bullshit! The profit margin on health insurance is quite low in fact, certainly not enough to carry any 30 million uninsured. And I don't know one person who has insurance and never uses it. Not one.

How's that "hope and change" working out for ya know Obamazombies?

I haven't found a definite on pricing, has anyone else?

I have found that it may cost you this....

It will probably be between this and this....

If we are to buy into this, then shouldn't we be informed on the exact pricing?

Why would there be a difference in the pricing if preexisting conditions are covered?

Is there a difference in the pricing reflecting age.

High price for older age?

What does it really cover?

I haven't found any of this. Could someone please post a link that has a definite price and coverage on it?

Isn't this supposed to go into effect Oct. 1? Then all of this would have been hashed out already. No?

OH goody!
We can all live in poverty...but get "free" healthcare.

Just what America needs.

:serfdomrd:

Other industrialized nations provide a VERY different kind of healthcare, one that actually includes physicians and hospitals and so forth, not just insurance policies forced on people with threat of fine and jail.
