What the holy ****??????

New medical insurance plan kicking in on May1.

$5,000 deductible.

I have to pay full retail price on prescriptions until the deductible is met. That's about $2,100 per month. After the deductible is met, you STILL have to pay full retail price unless you go to generic drugs. Even when you go on generics, which generally don't work as well for me, the maximum co-pay after you meet your deductible can be as high as $70 per script.
 
Maximum yearly cash outlay under this plan is $11,000 every year (including doctor and hospital visits) which I will certainly meet.
 
This has a very real possibility of bankrupting me.

3. Do you work can you get a HSA

I have a health savings account along with a high deductable plan. My health savings account covers my meds and the cost goes to reduce my deductable. Also the money is tax free and if you don't use it it builds up

10. And if they double the deductable and cost from there, and they eventually will...

You will still have to buy it. Because that's what Obamacare does.

The only mandate is on you. You have to buy it. No choice.

It doesn't matter what it costs...
It doesn't matter what it covers...
It doesn't matter what the co-pay is...
It doesn't matter how they treat you...
It doesn't matter if you cannot afford it...
It doesn't matter if they refuse to pay even a single claim...
It doesn't matter if you don't want to do business with these jackals...

You have to buy it or YOU are breaking the law.

If only someone would have warned the smartest people ever about this.
Oh wait we did, and we were called racist bigoted homophobes for our trouble.

You idiots can not blame this on the repukes, it was repealed by the house and saved by the senate. The senate lead by Harry Reid a democrat.
This is all on you fools and your desire for free health care.

Prior to ObamaCrap, FSA contributions were unlimited, but Obama needed that money to be taxed to pay for his plan, so he lowered the limit to $2500. Sucks to be you.

This year they lowered the max FSA from $5,000 to $2,500. That was a huge tax increase because my wife has been in chemotherapy.

Actually some states according to the chart are suppose to see decreases but that's only because they have things like pre-existing conditions still in place, no freaking way do I believe it though, we just got an almost 20% increase for our renewal, and we average anywhere from 8-16% increases every year. We're getting to the point where we can't afford it anymore.

It isn't stupid or an oversight, it was precisely the democrat plan.

This system will increase costs until they are unbearable for tens of millions of people.

At that point, the democrats will be able force through a fully socialized system like Cuba or Britain.

That is the objective. This 0bamacare is just a temporary tool to reach the goal.

The huge increases in cost are exactly what was intended.

All I know is my rates have gone up double digits since O care and now my current plan is going to be garbage canned when it expires.

2. On the other hand, it might provide even more fuel for real, comprehensive health care reform.

Because costs will skyrocket to the point where it would start crippling economic activity in general. People would be spending less on products and services because so much of their income is devoted to medical debt. At that point, the nation would be screaming for health care overhaul.

Here's the link to the other thread.
