Just got my ACA premium notice for next year
   
and, I guess it doesn't matter what the Supreme Court does now, because I can't afford the increase.

My premium went from $27.55/month to $101.67/month.

On a fixed income, I simply cannot afford that. My widow benefits from SS are going up 1.7% and ACA is going up like a rocket.

So, I guess I go back to 30 yrs. with a chronic disease and uninsured.

At least I don't have to wait for the Repbulicans to **** me over. Humana did it for them.
 

This one is brand new but could end up being fun!

Hey DUmmie, don't blame it on anyone but yourself and your ilk.  Always looking for something free and expecting someone else to pay for it.  We tried to tell you, but NOOO you didn't listen.  As usual you idiots think you are just so much smarter than anyone else.  So now you can just

66. Mine going from 170 to 450

Humana in FL. I did have a milestone Bday.
Hate to have to change. Cause I just got new primary Dr. Was paying 480 before ACA. So it looks like it could be a problem.

88. THIS is what many here are glossing over

Changing plans is not easy. Most likely they will need to find a new doctor. If they find something with affordable monthly premiums, their deductibles will likely rise. Their copayments will rise.

Going from Silver to Bronze is a big deal. Are people just suppose to pay the same money for less healthcare and a more restrictive network each year so they can afford SOMETHING?

This stinks.

90. I have no intention of doing that.

None. I won't buy garbage insurance. And the Bronze plans are pure garbage.

I already pay someone to take out the trash each week, not paying some insurance company to do the same for nothing. And Bronze plans are worse than nothing - they are false security.

92. I understand. Also keep in mind the penalty is tripling next year

for those who choose to opt out. I think it's moving to around $300 for individuals, up from $95 this year.

Glitterati (2,567 posts)

95. I won't face a penalty

since I pay no taxes on my unearned income.

Well DUmmy, since there was not enough stupid young healthy people to sign up for o'care to take care of sick old people plus the anticipated demand for "free" healthcare that will come from the 4 million+ illegal aliens obama is going to grant amnesty to, you need to STFU and pay the increased premium like a good little o-bot.

Hilarious!! DUmmy left normal coverage for the muslim's shovel-ready insurance.

Now he's saving thirty bucks a month, with thousands in deductible before getting a shovel-ready dime in reimbursement.

There is nothing more entertaining than suffering DUmmies, unless it's shovel-ready dead DUmmies!

They can always drop their silver plan and go with the cyanide plan......much cheaper plan....one small lifetime payment.

It is the single payer solution democrats are aiming for.

140. Truly mazes me how many people here think changing insurance plans every year is a good idea.

You have a gripe and I'm glad you let it out. Sorry about your situation. I really find it hard to believe all of these people jumping on you because open enrolment is here. Like it isn't a big deal, just change plans. These people are not based in reality and have no clue that their idea alone is a reason to gripe. Ohhh, you just have to change plans. That's all. So easy. What they are supporting is the exact opposite of stability. They are actually arguing that the ACA is in opposition to stability. How many hours will be wasted, primarily by those receiving the subsidy, will be used finding a new plan. Because those in poverty(not saying you as I don't know) don't have enough on their plate.

143. And changing doctors with those plan changes

And, yes, I live in poverty on a fixed income of widow's benefits SS.

There is exactly ONE Dr. who takes any ACA plans here.

This is gonna be REAL interesting.

But, no big deal, right? Just change plans.

Buy a Bronze plan that isn't worth the paper it's printed on!

Insurance! You have insurance.

Yeah, Obama! Go, Obama! Bow down to the great and mighty Obama! 

This thread is growing quite rapidly and the gyrations are great!

What a difference a year makes.  From a 01 Nov. 2013 thread titled "ACA a good story-Obama cares":

1. Have a good story as well

I waited to sign on and start, just because I figured what's the rush since it doesn't go into effect until next year.......
 
Anyway, I saw several plan available for myself and my daughter that range from $85.00 - 150.00 per month for insurance. We have both been uninsured almost my entire life and for my daughter's entire 18 years on this planet. What a relief even the lowest paying plan will bring to us!
 
I have a chronic, pre-existing condition and those are my prices! I'm floored. Of course, we're poor and if our teabagger Governor had accepted Medicaid, our premiums would have been free, but I'm not complaining! We'll have insurance! Now, I just have to talk with my doctors to see which plan they are networked in.

Excellent find!  LOL  She damn sure isn't singing any praises over there right now.  That thread is HUGE and really hard to follow now.

Awwww, bless her little DUmmie heart.

I guess she was one of those voters deemed "too stupid" to know what Barry and company were going to do to the country's healthcare system.  All she heard was "free", just stopped listening after that.   

BTW, sweetheart, 0,zip, nada, none, no republicans voted for this POS, it's ALL dimrat!

Embrace the suck!

91. Wow. For a community supposedly concerned about the poor
 
and those on fixed incomes, you sure are getting a thrashing here.

Just wait until Saturday...you will soon realize you are not alone. Not by a long shot. 

Maybe one Dummy can read between the Gruber lies.

This stinks.

It stinks and probably comes as quite a shock to many.  It's too bad that people couldn't have found out about the premium increases a little earlier and had a chance to prepare.  I wonder what happened?

Those planning to purchase health insurance on the Obamacare exchange will soon find out how much rates have increased — after the Nov. 4 election.

Enrollment on the Healthcare.gov website begins Nov. 15, or 11 days after the midterm vote, and critics who worry about rising premium hikes in 2015 say that’s no coincidence. Last year’s inaugural enrollment period on the health-care exchange began Oct. 1.

“This is more than just a glitch,” said Tim Phillips, president of free-market Americans for Prosperity, in a Friday statement. “The administration’s decision to withhold the costs of this law until after Election Day is just more proof that Obamacare is a bad deal for Americans.”

The wave would've been even bigger if people had known.  Well, DUmmies are in pain.  That is some consolation.

Okay, so the glittering primitive's in a pinch, and one feels for her.

An older woman on an income (actually social security) that's not likely to go up enough to match the increase in the cost of her medical insurance.

Not an unusual experience; we've all gone through times where income didn't rise as much as expenses, and yeah, it's a bitch.

But some of us seem to manage.

The increase in the monthly premium's about eighty bucks.

I'm assuming--although I may be way off, and admit it--she pays about forty bucks a month for internet, and forty bucks a month for cable television.

Get rid of those luxuries, and she's able to pay her medical insurance.

The rest of us have done things similar to that, to make ends meet, and made our ends meet.

[Gina]

I feel sorry for her but damn what a difference a year made for her!

Seriously though I'm so happy NOT ONE republican signed this bill!

Now how are we going to get rid of it or is it like Herpes?

[Gina]

Did she med she mention if her healthy young daughter bought insurance? you know to pay for all the sickies?

[Dori]

Now how are we going to get rid of it or is it like Herpes?

Earlier Charles Krauthammer said that Republicans should kill this bill with a thousand cuts by repealing certain aspects of it,  like the tax on medical devices and all the mandates.  It's also being taken up by the Supreme Court which could give it the final blow.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Hey, Glitters, Sarah Palin's not looking so stupid now, is she?  Also, remember her talking about those death panels, and all the scorn you idiots and the tools in the MSM heaped on her for that...?

I can't feel bad for her Coach.  This is what the party she votes for pushed into law. She wanted this.  She couldn't be bothered to inform herself of the facts where the legislation was concerned, very probably due to ideology - she is a dummy after all. While I might feel bad for the person that gets a "kick me" sign covertly taped to their back,  I sure wont for those that basically go around asking to be kicked.

Voting for lefties is asking in a loud voice to be kicked, and she just was.

I file this under "be careful what you wish for (and who you vote for)".
