This is the page the Obamacare page sends you to to check the cost of your "free" insurance.

I currently have an individual ppo plan from bcbsfl at 422/mo with a 5000 ded and 5000 out of pocket with 0 percent co insurance (pretty decent). I just went into their website and they have recommended insurances for me and I wept when I saw what they are offering. The bronze plan they recommended HMO hsa is almost 700/mo, 6230 deductible, same out of pocket, dr visits deductible as well as hospital, emergency and pharmacy. I am 62 yr old female good health. However they are including pediatric vision and dental. Then the plans get more and more expensive from there. I do not want to do a subsidy if I can help it, I am not even sure if I can qualify for one because we are near the cap for it. Our income varies from the retirement we get.
Three choices: expensive, more expensive and completely unaffordable.
Anybody who is on FR is at the top of the regime’s sh!tlist.

Probably a safe assumption, but Zero Hedge is likely one level above us. :)
No one should engage with the gov’t databases until the IRS scandal is resolved, which means never.
HSA’s are capped under Obamacare, or some such.
1100/month
I’m paying 480 now Blue Cross

5 kids
1000 deduct on meds
Severe preexisting on me
Sorry, as much as I would like to /s
The South Carolina state House passed a bill Wednesday that declares President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to be “null and void,” and criminalizes its implementation.
I think what I'm going to do is pay a concierge Doctor about $1,500 a year and if something serious happens then sign up. Why pay now? No pre-existing conditions means I can sign up when I'm sick. Even if the penalty is $2,500 a year and my Doctor only charges $1,500 I'm ahead $5,650.
Republicans should be telling stories like this on the house and senate floor.
I’m a full-time student. I was pricing healthcare options for next year, and this is what I found. Apparently I don’t make enough money to get subsidies to make health insurance more affordable. I am really wondering about their logic here.
Household income in 2014:
0% of poverty level
Unsubsidized annual health insurance premium in 2014:
$2,391
Amount you pay for the premium:
$2,391 per year (which equals Infinity% of your household income and covers 100% of the overall premium)
You could receive a government tax credit subsidy of up to:
$0 (which covers 0% of the overall premium)
Re: myself
I know that under ObamaCare states were “supposed” to expand Medicaid.. and a lot didn’t. (Good.) But having this giant hole in their system is not going to work. I haven’t seen too many people talking about this particular issue.
The comments on ZH are generally so bizarre I can’t even discern most of what they are trying to say LOL.
62 y/o male, Indiana
Presently $387 to BCBS w/$5000 deductible
Under Obama $800+ $6230 deductible
107% increase for less coverage.
Thank you Mr. Roberts
My gawd! Mine is almost half my salary!! Is this right? I mean, I had no intention of complying, but I had to check it out.
