To: Understand the stimulus
I just did an “Obamacare cost estimator” and it said our premium would be $17,000/yr with no subsidy! Family of 4, no tobacco use (it asked), early 40’s and 2 kids. Right now, I believe we have a “Cadillac plan” from employer that we pay about $600 a month for and the employer picks up the rest.

Husband's employer sent a packet home saying we can keep our present insurance for 2014, but then listed 3 Obamacare options to choose from, with no cost attached.

On Greta, they just said these “estimators” would probably be wrong, on the low side. We simply can not afford a $20,000 healthcare premium! College is coming up, we won't get need based financial aid.

So how do I pay college tuition and possibly a $20,000 premium? Quit our jobs and get it free? I am so disgusted with this administration. My husband and I did things right-- waited until we were married to have kids, pay our bills on time, didn't buy a mansion and drive affordable cars. We want the best for our kids. But we sit by and watch those NOT in need take the easy way out, don't get married so mother gets food stamps, fake disability, get "free" Medicaid, cash payouts, milk unemployment and get home refinancing without fees. Free cell phones. I'm so sick of trying! My sense of respectability and integrity keep me from just throwing in the towel! Tomorrow my daughter will go to do a class project at a girl's house where they receive tons of benefits and have 4 46 inch plus flat-screen TV's, new cars and a nice home. I want to scream!!! To those of you truly in need, I mean no disrespect to you!

Then stick with it as long as your employer continues to offer it.
