"Obamacare"

[wetwillie]

Lemy lives in a house 50 miles from the nearest fire station with knob and tube wiring and heats his home with a fire ring in the living room but wants to pay the same insurance rates as everyone else.

Straight cash homie. I doubt any lender is going to let you be uninsured tho

[Ptolemy]

Sure you can. Pay cash.

Definitely adding to the Osqueezem Cost Like Hell Living Index.  It will get worse under HMT MG.

It is being reported that the Obamacare rates will jump 20 to 30% for next year. People will get a big surprise when they sign up in November. Obama's parting as.he leaves -- kiss my butt America.

Has anyone on here actually had any change in their coverage?  I have had literally ZERO change in anything.

[CNS]

Not since being on the exchange.  My rates dropped when joining the exchange, though.

Sounds right. I said it like a hundred times in this thread, but nearly all of the ACA changes that affect people who get insurance through their employers actually went into effect well before 2013, when the Exchanges started. For some reason, people waited until that time to start going nuts about the ACA.

ACA requirements began going into effect in 2010. In addition to that, many states had already adopted regulations similar to aspects of the ACA - on pre-existing conditions, for example. So, the growing pains were pretty much a thing of the past by the time 2013 came around.

seems odd that every conservative said Obamacare was the worst thing in the world and everyone was super pissed and all the Democrats said it was the most amazing accomplishment since the New Deal and lo and behold it is just very meh.

I think the people most effected are young healthy people who used to be able to get by with catastrophic insurance.  I don't think my coverage has changed, but as they've been implementing the ACA, my insurance rates have gone way up.

Definitely a shocker!

I have no idea what my insurance costs or what it used to cost

don't most of those people just stay on their parent's insurance?

[catastrophe]

Not sure exactly how that works but I know there is at least an age limit.

[Dr Rick Daris]

wait... insurance costs have gone up over the last five years?

I think it's 26 when the basement dwellers have to buy there own, or mom and dad have to pay for a separate policy.

I think the problem is that health care rates are outpacing wages and inflation.

[renocat]

Premiums have Increased.28% for.me, but its.the increased deductibles and out of pocket that rips a new one.  Also they aren't covering a lot of stuff.

Certainly didn't happen pre Obama Care. 

[Rage Against the McKee]

Maybe Trump will get rid of Obamacare and get us single payer when the dems take back congress in 2 years.
