Obamacare Bleeding Out

[Danzig]

Yeah, this insurance stuff....just horrible.
I mean, just my hospital bill for end of may was over 16k. Surgeon, anesthesia, etc will be separate.
After the lousy united health care payment and contractual adjustment, i have to pay $553 total. 1/32nd of the bill.
Those bastards.

For the condescending:
My monthly insurance went from $625/mo for my family to over $1100/mo with a $10,000 deductible having no claims at all!

Having to change over to a policy now costing $780 a month and I swear the only difference is slimming down the hospital/physicians in the network.

The 2 posters bragging about how terrific it is are the takers that don't put anything into the system. Rather than questioning why a Hospital charged Obamacare 16K for a procedure, they smugly scoff about how they "made out" while you bear the brunt of their costs.

It will be refreshing when the Insurance Lobbies don't have the White House in their back pocket and the Insurance Companies will actually have to "compete" for business, thus lower health care costs.

Doubly refreshing when it will take an orange-skinned misogynist with no ties to, thus owing no favors to the insurance industry, to make it happen.

he seems to think I'm unemployed. that's hilarious. and my healthcare is thru UHC, for which I pay. we sure don't qualify for any subsidies. the reason I put what I did, is people like to bitch and bash on insurance....til they need it.
came back before I was supposed to, because this office is my 'baby'. we've had health insurance, tony and I, for the entire 30 years we've been married, and both were in military at the time. been paying into the system since I was a teen, worked before I graduated high school.

what is amazing to me, is when i disagree with someone, and then they paint an entire picture about me.
I'm not obese, not a taker, have been a responsible adult who raised three kids, served my country..... I own a home, on which I pay taxes, 42 acres on a lake, 2 business locations. he's an electrician. but yeah, I'm a taker.

as for the other taker...so, we work, we retire, we get on medicare at 65....paid into the system, but then we're takers??? surely not!

They both (one of them in particular) spends a great deal of time in this thread spreading misinformation about the benefits of ACA, yet neither has seen their premiums increase upwards of 60% as a result.

They smugly brag about how little they pay out of pocket while the small business owners and the working class of this country w/o company offered discounted health insurance have been not only forced to enroll, but now pay upwards of 1000.00 a month for crappier insurance that they used to pay 500.00 a month for.

And would rather talk down to the folks getting screwed than question why it is so absurd in the first place.

Typical socialists.
