33. An acquaintance of mine was complaining about the same thing.

He was railing about what a failure the program was and how his quote was 2x his current plan through his work.

This person makes about 80 grand a year.

I told him that this system was not designed for him.

Then he told me that Obama should go 'back to Russia.'

Ahhhh but onehandle, what you're failing to realize is it WAS designed for him!!  Someone has to PAY for it and guess who that is.  Y'all can call them subsidies all you want but they are theft.  From one persons pocket to another persons pocket.  They are giving you something you DID NOT EARN.

I hate to break it to the primitives--and because it sounds too good to be true, I'm awaiting further information, further confirmation--but I was compelled to do that last week, check the 0bamacare site.  I used the guidance of a professional, by the way.

franksolich apparently is "entitled" to just about the best medical insurance plan I've ever had in my life, and at an insanely low cost.  One imagines a primitive spends more on his daily dose of dope than I would on a monthly premium.  And my God, with deductibles and co-payments that amount to pocket change.

I am truly shocked, stunned, that it worked out like this.

Does this mean that franksolich is now converted over to 0bozo and the Democrats?

Hardly; I'm more than ever against them, and this health care "reform," because I'm aware I'm not the center of the universe, the most important person in the world, and that I'm costing "other people" money.  I'd just as soon pay my own way, which I used to, before "reform."

**** 0bozo, Bela Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the horses they rode into town on.

(I'm willing to give the details as soon as they're confirmed.)

In a DUmbass world 80 grand a year makes one super rich.

I received notification that I will have to upgrade to Platinum (increased 2016 cost 80%) in order to keep the same outrageous high deductibles and out of pocket limits that I had this year.  In total since O don't care has taken effect my premium has increased 380%

From a nice and easy to use so called "junk" PPO 90/10 that I had for fourteen years  to a useless HDHP

I absolutely hate Obastard for what he did to my work provided health insurance, it is the equivalent of  catastrophic health and as such is useless to me.

I believe it; that's how I ended up where I did.

Buying insurance isn't the same as getting healthcare. It may be cheap. The devil is in the details and finding the QUALITY you're used to. Therein lies the rub with a lot of people. Many people pay for insurance because they have pre-existing conditions. The rub is, many times the prescriptions required to treat that condition are NOT available. Catch-22.

[Patriot Guard Rider]

Well DUmmie, I get quality healthcare, and dental, for a premium of $0.00 per month
I have a $0.00 co-pay for doctor visits AND prescription meds.
and any hospital stay, for any health issue, costs me $0.00 at the end of the stay.

Suck on THAT!

All Obamacare has really accomplished was to get rid of low cost, high deductible plans that people only used in case of emergencies and replaced the with high cost, high deductible plans that people only use in case of emergencies.

It's interesting to me that they were only junk policies when people could actually afford them.

[jb2u11]

I used to have a policy that had a 10K deductible, payed 100% after that.  My feeling was if I had a grabber or got cancer or something i was only on the hook for 10K, I could hanlde that. Cost me just south of 400 a month.  I would go for a yearly check up and pay out of pocket, but because of the discounts through the insurance my checkups would only cost a couple hundred.  Had that policy for almost 10 years and the premium barely went up during that time. 

Supposedly I was able to keep that plan.....but it was discontinued because it didn't meet all of the new requirements.  Now I pay more for far worse insurance.  Thank you DUmmies.

I can't tell if libs ever picked up on that stark contrast, or gloss over it as a concerted strategy to conceal and advance that agenda.
Libs always talk about health insurance and healthcare as interchangeable.
