ACA may force people to cancel financial instruments like life insurance in order to make healthcare premiums. And that is before they have to come up with the money to pay the deductibles.
Sadly, you may be right. At the prices I've seen for some of these policies, my family would have to give up a lot to pay for the kind of health insurance in Obamacare. We earn enough that we wouldn't come close to being eligible for subsidies, but not enough that it wouldn't be a major drain on our economic lives.
Even if one is barely eligible for subsidizes, it still maybe be more expensive than what they had. Somebody in that category is probably struggling to put anything away for retirement. Along comes ACA forcing them to pitch in a couple hundred more a month. There goes any chance of ever retiring if you comply with ACA..
Obamacare is going to cost middle America SO much money, middle income Americans won’t have enough money to buy new/used homes or anything else. We are being taxed to death...hidden taxes...that will deplete any and all excess income. No savings...no luxuries...just enough for day to day living.
I agree. People that couldn't afford insurance before--even if they saw it as a discretionary option--will still not want to part with those monthly premiums and co-pays. Any hope of saving for a "newer" used vehicle, a house, a child's education, or retirement will be shot.
This will make it much easier to keep track of people. We’ll know who the travelers are and they’re certainly needing to be watched closely.
In Florida, Doctors pay very high malpractice insurance premiums because of bull shit lawsuits. Now, who’s the bad guy? You pick. Either way you’ll think you win.
well I don’t do medical malpractice so go away
a stock or a bond is a financial instrument, a life insurance policy is a gamble
You are a miserable example of what’s wrong with medicine in the first place. A hot ambulance chasers sticky wet dream. Stay well.
poobear you are gross
I happen to be insured to the hilt, not that I make claims, although I have been in the hospital, a horrible experience but paid for not by the taxpayers, by my insurance and by me
I just think I have paid in more than I have taken out
You must own an insurance shop
so take a long walk off a short pier, bud
I was just trying to consolidate everything into one easy term. Although, I think one could call whole life a financial instrument.
