I think the POS is probably talking costs to other grifters like himself whom are on subsidized crap care. If this POS mouth is moving, he is lying.

I'm on Medicare, the government's supposedly 'free' health care system, that many Democrats want to expand to all. My wife and I have total annual health care 'premium' costs of $8,000. These include the Plan A, B, D, etc. direct payments, as well as Medigap insurance, and copays. We have no costly health issues.

Our cell phone bill is $1,680 per year, just 21% of our cost of our "Free" health care. This also ignores that for the past 52 years we paid substantial costs, deducted from each paycheck for the privilege of this "Free" Medicare.

My family plan ROSE $250 a month !

[HollyB]

That the monthly bill is lying?

This increase in heath care is unaffordable
Plus not only are the rates higher, but the coverage is less than before!

Notice how Obama always pushes ‘bogus claims’, he never lies.....

your premiums purchase a very large deductable that in effect is no insurance.

Well, technically it is insurance. It used to be called catastrophic insurance, and it was dirt cheap before Obamacare.

Yep

I'm 63 and take exactly one : a vitamin D supplement which I could buy over the counter, but the RX version only need to be taken once weekly.

This is a very common Rx in the Pittsbugh area because most of us spend too much time indoors and full sunshine days are scarce.

What’s bogus is Obama makes the claim that most people can get health insurance for $50 to $100 a month, which he says is significantly less than a person’s cell phone bill

My phone bill for both of us $120

My insurance $900 plus what my employer pays, plus my deductible annually is $13k. Obama needs to retake his Remedial Mathematics class.

Your employer subsidizes every adult on your plan to the tune of roughly $800 per month. A little less for each child. This is an AVERAGE. It could be a little less if the adults on your plan pay more than about $200 each, or a lot more if you work for the government, school districts and the like.

The whole idea behind ObaMaoCare is to ration it so that people like you or I pay a lot more and "his" people, druggies going through their 134th rehab, the wildly promiscuious, illegal aliens and the like pay a lot less. After all, we are lucky to be born with health and others aren't.

don’t forget the gays, it’s a healthy lifestyle. I have great health, and genetics as well (three grandparents over 99) 61 and take no prescriptions.

[Vigilanteman]

I included the gays in the wildly promiscuious. LOL!

[RipSawyer]

I have never considered Obama my president any more than I consider Rosie O’Donnell to be my wife!
