Oh, I keep coming back to this thread in hopes of finding a real success story.

Just went through my open enrollment at work, guess this is my Obamacare "success story:"  Last year was $111 a paycheck for a family of five w/ a "platinum" HSA, Vision on myself and wife, dental for all, etc....  This year is $133 since I added on my oldest to the vision, also changed the company sponsored life insurance, but that was a freebee.  So what's the success in all of this? Obama didn't manage to double my premium like so many other workers.  I set my bar pretty low.

Well that is because you got a one year opt out that King Barky the Liar gave to business so that there was not a horror show in 11/2014 for the donks. What is happening now is to the much smaller market of individuals that buy insurance on their own, approx 20 million. You know more than new people will get insurance, 30 million uninsured in 2010, 30 million uninsured in 2016. I should add the caveat unless amnesty is granted then......

This is what is getting all of us individual people ****ed in the ass:

On the other hand, based upon current proposed regulations, small group plans must contain benefits in the following 10 Essential Health Benefit categories:

    Ambulatory patient services (jukin's canceled plan that he liked has, wants, and needs)
    Emergency services (jukin's canceled plan that he liked has, wants, and needs)
    Hospitalization (jukin's canceled plan that he liked has, wants, and needs)
    Maternity and newborn care (jukin is childless 53 year old man, do not need or want)
    Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment
    Prescription drugs (jukin's canceled plan that he liked has, wants, and needs but does not need birth control pills)
    Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices (jukin is not a drug addict/alcoholic, do not need or want)
    Laboratory services (jukin's canceled plan that he liked has, wants, and needs)
    Preventive services and wellness services and chronic disease management (jukin's canceled plan that he liked has, wants, and needs)
    Pediatric services, including oral and vision care (jukin is childless 53 year old man, do not need or want)

My policy goes up because I have to now pay for baby mothers, drug addicts, alcoholics, and dental and vision of children I do not have. That is why I'm getting the 2X, 2X, 3X premium, deductible, co-pay treatment. I liked Herman Cain's 999 plan far better.


This will come at you next year and YES your premiums will double, your deductibles will double, your co=pays will triple, and your employer will probably quit buying any portion of your insurance.  This is why Obama illegally and unconstitutionally waived a portion of his signature law for political gain. This was a far worse infraction than what King George did.

It's going to be glorious future comrades, GLORIOUS!!!!!

that's sort of where we're at.  My wife and I had a collective sigh of relief over dodging that bullet.  We're already wound really tight since we're playing the long game on big retirement.  Obamacare is really pissing me off because that could possibly be pulled back some to account for that huge expense.  Guess if we weren't so responsible with our resources it would all be okay.  Sorry for the rant.

Wait until you get to Medicare. Obama SAVED Medicare by cutting $700 billion of their funds.

Could Obama save welfare and food stamps the same way?   Noooooo I kind of doubt that as a decrease in the rate of increase is just about the worst possible action for the moocher state.

Hopefully I'll be able to miss out on the medicare, that's sort of the idea behind funding the HSA.  Anywho, when we first moved to our present location, we went looking for a doctor's office.  The first thing they asked when I called was if I had medicare or medicaid.  After sharing a hearty laugh with the receptionist over the silliness of said programs, we were scheduled for the following day. I have no doubt it would have been much worse if I affirmed I used either.
