HUGE increases coming in health care premiums. Frankly I think they are nuts !

Should be 2016

i knew it would happen. forcing health insurance cover pre-existing conditions is equivalent to forcing auto insurance to cover pre-existing damage from accidents before the vehicle is insured. it will get worse too.

You pay obscene premiums for 3 people. The deductible is ridiculous, too. Are you self employed, or get coverage from an employer?

I'm lucky I'm on Medicare. $147 a month for a top of the line supplemental plan. Currently seeing a specialist and everything is covered.

prior to Medicare....$750 a month with a $5000 deductible. highway robbery.

The entire turd is spiraling out of control - things as they are (not just the Obamashit Insurance Scam) are on their last legs.

Soon....

I agree. This is not about healthcare this is about controlling inflation. With the way these premiums are going up people won't even have enough for food, much less raise prices or wages. (presto chango no inflation) That is a $330.00 per month hit. I'm telling you we never use it, because you have to spend 10K first. We rarely go to the doctor. If once every two years I would be surprised.

Buckle up your big boy/girl pants. because this is coming like a freight train. The notices are coming in the mail the next 4 weeks/.

You were getting no heathcare benefits from an employer?

a third of all Obamacare co-ops have bankrupted and closed leaving 400,000 people with no insurance. wait till they bring 200,000 muslims over and give em free Obamacare. the entire program will implode.

It's RACIST to complain about it.

Self employed for 25 years.

unemployed.........

Were you ineligible for Medicaid? Not trying to be nody or interrogate you, just curious. In my state you could have gotten Medicaid for nothing or next to nothing under you situation. I know it differs state by state.

A friends son is an RN in an ER. He says if you don't have insurance or other means to pay they will stabilize only.

The best doctors do not accept Medicaid
And many are now refusing Medicare

most likely I had to much money in the bank....

Stealing money

I'm on Medicare and have yet to find one who rejects Medicare.

I just don't know where they expect me to come up with and extra $330.00 per month, on top of the $832.00 per month now.

Hmmm...in most any large metro area, there are hospitals that get huge $ to pay for 'poor' people. In my city there's a large medical complex, very good too, that gets hundreds of millions to not turn away anyone who can't pay. Lots of community clinics, too. But yeah, definitely for profit hospitals will turn people away. But this is what Medicaid is for, for people without the ability to get insurance from employer or pay extremely high premiums. Unfortunately, some states greatly restrict Medicaid.

Look for opt outs OP. Isn't there some Christian organization offering this?

Look, for routine or emergency care, Medicaid is fine. Agreed, many posh doctors won't accept it, but it shouldn't be a huge problem finding those who will, unless you're in a rural area.

Looking.
Anyone got any links ?

The figures OP is quoting are very typical.

That's with no pre-existing and no health issues whatsoever.

You cant cover every illegal and moocher in the country while the medical, hospital, drug, health insurance industries gouge the public and expect rates not to go up.

The ACA was written for the benefit of insurance companies and not for the welfare of the general public. The public is paying a premium to support several cash cow industries in the medical field.

Its really screwed up because with tort reform and a few other things everyone could have health insurance for $100 a month.

I thought the best simple medical system was Hong Kong before it went commie.

14% flat income tax no matter how much you make and you get free medical dental and burial, but if you wanted to you could buy your own health insurance and go to private doctors. Basically two systems. State run and private so you could do whatever you want.

United Health care is droppin my Plat coverage all together in my state...gold on down and I will be paying more for the gold than im paying for my current plat coverage so informed my doc of this and between the both of us putting our heads together im getting any and every test allowed under my current coverage before the flip hits.

Was looking for some dental coverage today and that alone is a big fat joke.
Will get a sup coverage on the dental for discounts..reg dental coverage doesn't pay but maybe 1K out a year..its a friggin joke.

Wow, with a 10K deductible you sure can't afford to get sick! (not on top of that hefty premium)

Dang.

No one will be able to afford any extras at this rate.

Remember if you accept Medicaid then the government has a bite out of your estate when you die.

It's like they've tacked on a PERMANENT car payment! And you won't be getting anything for that extra money.
