I was surprised to see the news reporting the upcoming deadline; it was the first time I see them telling the viewing public what this law really does. Naturally, they waited until after the mid-terms, and they aren’t reporting on the people who lost their insurance or are now paying much more, but they actually said people would have to get insurance or be fined.
They had never said that in the years since this abomination became law...
What about the people working for major corporations that quietly have been stripped of the option for no deductible when hospitalized no matter how high your premiums are?
I’m talking about pre EBOLACARE, my $16,500 annual premium (employer/employee contribution) was high but paid 100% for hospitalization at in plan facilities, with no deductible.
Last year , all of a sudden if you are hospitalized you are paying a $3,500 deductible per individual and a $6,400 deductible per family, despite the fact you’re paying close to 17K a year in premiums!
If I need to be hospitalized, I’m telling them my name is Hussein Obama and I’m from Kenya.
Maybe the GOP could do something about this, since I haven’t heard a goddamned thing about this phenomena in the press I’m guessing the Country Clubbers in DC aren’t even aware of this massive theft.
I’ll be calling my Congress Critters to see what they intend to do about it.
