you can buy re-election with entitlements.

True, folks usually vote with their pocketbooks.

It didn't help having a RINO in Romney that made millions of conservatives stay at home.

2016 election is critical.

Monthly health care premiums for my wife and I went from $650/m pre-ACA to $1,400/m. That’s quite a “reduction”.

That comes out to almost 15 grand per year for a family of 4. It's almost worth not having at all at his point.

8 years ago, I was paying 250/mo for a straight 80/20 plan that went 100% at 3000 dollars.

15,000/12 = 1250 per month 250 per month - 1250 per month = -1000 per month.

Professor Hillary sez:

You're MAKING 1000 dollars more a month than you were 8 years ago.

You should be paying taxes on that. And on the deductible, too - just as a matter of Leftist principle, because you might have to pay it out, and if you don't, then that's income, too.

I see you have the same healthcare plan hubby and I have. Lol. And that’s not dental, or vision and another separate prescription plan. You can add almost another $100 in for those.

I'd like to see anyone in the LSM challenge her on that. <>

Yeah, lower costs.

Like the fact that I had a policy with a $2,000 max out of pocket per person 3 years ago, and now the same premium buys only a $6,600 out of pocket per person maximum now - which bit me in the ass last year, when my daughter ripped her ACL.

Oh, and lower costs? Tell that to the hospital, which charged $102,000 for a 2-day stay - which didn’t include the surgeon’s or the gas-passer’s fees. No ICU, no ER services, just being in their O.R., and the tiny little room with a crappy TV and little in the way of temperature controls, plus some crappy food. A bargain at a mere $102,000. Thankfully, the hospital won’t get most of that, and the insurance company will pay most of the rest - but NO thanks to Odipshitcare.

What has also changed is the doctor’s income. Not only are their contract rates taking a huge hit, but they have been forced to hire more employees just to try and keep up with the Obamacare mandates, primarily the ICD-10 issue. Lots of them are moving to private pay only or joining a group practice. The solo practitioner who survives on insurance income is rapidly disappearing and patient’s are finding themselves with co-pays almost equal to the contract rate allowed for most procedures.

Just not a sustainable plan.

What the Hell is she talking about? People are being buried by premium increases.
