Drug costs skyrocketed this year.

We have bee covered under United Healthcare provided by my wife's employer for about twelve years now. After a 45% increase in premium at the end of 2010, a 30% increase at the end of 2011 and a 40% increase at the end of 2012, we were cheerfully told that there would be no premium increase at the end of 2013, but that our copays and deductibles would be increased. Indeed they were, such that our out-of-pocket costs will increase from $3000 for 2013 to $4800 for 2014, assuming the same costs for medications.
 
Well, that just went out the window when I reordered a 90-day supply of medications which I take for Parkinson's Disease. The copay which was $30 three months ago is now $150. (The benefit is stated in the policy as "Copay from $30 to $150 for 90-day supply.") It is not a generic drug.
 
So I checked the medication which I take to prevent strokes; it went from $20 to $150, even though it is a generic drug. Generic Lipitor went from $20 to $150.
 
So, given all of the meds that my wife and I take, that increase adds over $3000 per year and means that our out-of-pocket actually went from $3000 last year to $7800 projected for this year.
 
I am so glad that Obamacare has done such a fine job of redcucing the cost of health care.

You can thank anyone with an Obama sticker on their car for that.

That is a great story!

I love to read about DUmp democrats suffering, even though anything they write is almost certainly a lie.

I'd like to think this one is true.

We received the news about our insurance increases this week. All out of pocket expenses remain the the same, but my share of the premium went up.

I have to pay an extra $1.23 per week.

Well DUmmy.....isn't that the way it was supposed to work?  Welcome to Obama's "Hope and Change" world and join the club.

Obama 2008; "when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Michelle Obama; "The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."

So either quit your bitch'in or vote Republican next time around.

Watch out for topics like that. It's a ruse to smoke out the moles.
So far the moles are just lurking. That's a smart move. You can never be busted for lurking.

Seeing that post makes me so happy I am almost willing to pay the additional $500 I have to pay this year -- directly attributable to obozocare per the insurance carrier.

My great desire is that the lower-middle income DUmp monkeys get evicted from their homes and post from huddled laptops parked outside libraries or other places they can suck on "free" wireless.

The idea of them either sweating their asses off in their cars or freezing.  It used to be there was an AWFUL choice!  Now -- no choice!  SUFFER!!!!!

And $500 a year for me is essentially change in the back of the sofa.
