ReverendDeuce (1,275 posts)Here's my ACA rate INCREASE for those who doubt...I've posted a bit about this before and nobody seemed to believe me, so I've decided to share photos of the "plan comparison" chart from Blue Cross that I received.So, to summarize:* Premium going way up!* Deductible going way up!* Out of pocket going WAAAY up!But hey, at least I, as a 30-something male, get pediatric dental/vision and maternity covered, right? Right? RIGHT?!?
Star Member Sparkly (22,114 posts)1. It looks like an upgraded policy.If you keep the same one, the ACA prevents insurance companies from raising the premium more than 10%.You don't HAVE to use the exchange, if that's the problem.
bajamary (440 posts)7. but others got great rates.....Check this post out, as they got fabulous rates with ACA.
Star Member Fat Che's Little Brother (9,344 posts)29. You're not getting a rate increase.Your insurance company is forcing you into a significantly upgraded policy with coverage for tons of stuff you didn't have before.Go to the exchange and shop.
Star Member Yavin4 (19,010 posts)11. You're getting more things covered. So, it should go up.You're getting mental illness, maternity, pediatric dental and vision covered. You're getting all of these things covered for another $75.00.
Star Member WilliamPitt (55,438 posts)17. I'm going to be paying $1,300/month for coverage until the ACA kicks in after the first.I'd be doing ****ing handsprings if my premium was $236.

At a town hall meeting in New Hampshire on Aug. 11, 2009, President Barack Obama repeated a line he's used many times in describing his health care proposal: "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."
What the hell is "upgraded" about higher deductibles and premiums? How the hell do they know if it's an "upgrade" for him. He might have the same kind of coverage with the lower priced plan. And, you freaking idiots, it isn't "big insurance" sticking it to him. Cindie
So, if he gets pregnant, goes crazy, looses some teeth, shoots out an eye or becomes addicted to drugs/alcohol, he is half ass covered for an extra $92 a month.....why that's almost free, ain't it......well, ain't it?
Dental and vision are only for minors...the most expensive to cover but the most enticing for potential female voters.

Upgraded to new mandates he did not need but now has to pay for.DUmbfuks
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
What about gay dudes forced into a plan that covers maternity. Isn't that homophobic ?
His current plan is a lot better and cheaper, so I'm sure he'll decide to keep it.
The best thing about this thread is its title. Man! The Shmenge Brothers!
Which one was Yosh and which was Stan
Eugene Levy was Stan.
