Wow, that thing is up to 577 posts now. LOL the DUmmies are eating each other over there.
Who was it in the debates who called the Horrible Care Act "O'bamacare"? I wanna say Romney but I think it might have been that other guy who was on stage ...

167. You are a prime example
of a very stubborn and ALWAYS right person. You presented your case, you were advised by others that in 48 hours you would have the opportunity to obtain more information from other insurers. Yet, you persisted. The you had to make a sarcastic remark about the president. FYI It is NOT "Obama Care" it is is the PPACA.
In general your behavior has been very childish, almost like a two year old having a tantrum.

249. Actually, the people with the agendas are QUITE obvious
And it ain't Glitterati
^^^ Some of them are finally starting to see through the bull shit. I think there's some real buyers remorse going on in this thread.
This poster vvv has been VERY nasty on that thread and has an O'bamacare logo as their avatar.

286. I KNEW this was an attempted Obama bashing....
you all are soooo transparent.
Your state doesn't identify you!
You are being disingenuous....
why do I suddenly smell Rightwinger in this room?
Yeah, you can't disagree with the O'bamacare unless you're a 'rightwinger' ... Wow, delusional much?

441. I can't even get my head around a $27 health insurance premium.
My insurance premium for a traditional family coverage plan from Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), with a prescription drug plan plus vision and dental is $1,150 per month. Office visits are a $30 copay. Emergency room is a $250 copay. Other procedures are 80/20 (insurance pays 80%, I pay 20%). Annual deductible is $3,000 per family member. Maximum yearly out of pocket is $5,000.
I've had essentially the same BCBS plan for about 15 years. The premiums have increased on average about 6% per year, every year, and the deductibles and out of pocket maximum have crept up steadily over the years as well. 15 years ago my premium was $480 per month.
The premium increases since the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have been smaller than the past average. There is more competition, and more providers and plans available now through the ACA marketplace. My existing plan is grandfathered and BCBS is still supporting it. But I'll probably get a new plan through the marketplace soon. There are plans available now that are as good or better at a lower price.
Yo idiot, it's because YOU don't have others paying for YOUR insurance! I love how there's a couple on there acting like the money to pay for others insurance just falls from the sky from some God they call 'Uncle Sam'.
Gliterrati has posted the letter she received MULTIPLE times and this VanillaRhapsody person just won't give it a rest. The letter clearly states the $110 is with the subsidy but VR won't take that as an answer due to the exchanges not being open. The $110 is based on last years subsidy and without it Glit would have paid $577/month. VR thinks that if Glit will simply wait until the exchange opens the payment will go WAY down ...

408. and what is her subsidy...what state is she in....has she applied for the subsidy for this year yet
obviously NOT...
THAT is what I am talking about. Humana doesn't know that if it comes off the Exchange.

434. They based the subsidy off the 2014 subsidy.
If subsidies don't go up she's screwed and so am I. The plans being offered have much higher deductibles and out-of-pocket than the one I have that will no longer be offered.

517. The subsidy is based on the premium of the second cheapest Silver plan
So yeah, Humana doesn't know what her subsidy will be this year, and she could end up paying a lot more than the $101.97. What's of interest is the premium increase itself, to be honest.

313. I have read it...and have read one of my own.....
you are NOT being truthful...
This is Obama Bashing 101...you are not even good at it. I figured you out in 30 seconds...
More people who simply have no reading comprehension have looked at the letter ...

275. Then try reading the letter in your hand
The two numbers you are comparing are not the same thing.
The letter itself is somewhat misleading because it is comparing a SUBSIDIZED premium to a NON-SUBSIDIZED premium.

421. The unsubsidized premium is almost $600. Where the poster is off (though much closer than you) is
their new premium is based off their 2014 subsidy. This could be different this year and would impact the premium. Would it be more or less, we don't know (including the OP) but the unsubsidized hit is the $577.xx amount not what you are trying to paint, that amount is heavily subsidized as common sense should tell you because virtually no one would have an unsubsidized annual cost of 1,200 bucks.
You both had comprehension errors but you are WAY OFF. The OP is significantly closer to factual here.
It's all a conspiracy by the insurance companies!!!!!!!!!!
jberryhill (35,333 posts)
463. no, that is incorrect
Because one of the factors that went IN to the 2014 figure is the premiums in that market.
This letter was timed to be misleading.
LOL, I guess they all missed the memo O'bama sent out demanding the insurance companies not release this information until after the elections.

550. If Obama claimed
that the Earth was flat, there are few around here that would take up talking points to prove it. "He's playing multidimensional chess - the earth is flat where I am and where he is, so he's absolutely right!!1!"
I'm going to wade through some more of that. It's just too damn funny.
