fact check on obamacare. and i have to say, i find a republican griping about the feds getting between you and your doctor to be quite disingenuous, and highly ironic.

according to UHC, the cadillac tax which will come into affect in 2014 was the reason they were changing the plans... my former plan was certainly no caddy in my eyes. now my plan is equivalent to a bicycle. at any rate, I've only been hurt by the new health care law, and things wont be getting better.

the company i work for announced that there will be rebates forthcoming to their health plan participants. their health insurer spend only 84.7% on claims, so they get to distribute a whopping .3% rebate. a couple of dollars. yeah, that's so worth having coverages changed, curtailed, removed...but at least there are 'free things' being covered now. lmao. yeah, free. ![]()

Oh, my - you are getting a rebate! That is reason to A) Be happy your insurance company can no longer price-gouge you B) Hate the law that protects you from price-gouging C) Get help for the cognitive dissonance - at least you're covered for that now, by law

With your logic, we should be surprised that there are not 20 or 30 doing so, like there was 25 years ago. By the way, there is absolutely nothing in the new law that insurance companies cannot manage. No annual maximums?.... ok, raise rates. No rating up for pre-ex conditions? .... no problem, raise rates. "Free" PReventive Care? ... sure, ... raise rates. Health insurance rates are going to skyrocket. The pool of all insured people through commercial carriers is going to deteriorate, health-wise. It has to. The only question is whether the modest number of positives in the bill outweigh the higher cost for every person who is insured. Maybe that happens. This is what is happening now: 1. Small Employer (<51 emps) plans will drop like flies. The penalties are just too soft. 2. Nothing has been reformed in health care. Just health care insurance has been reformed. If you think that increased screening during preventive care and covering the kids until they are closer to an AARP card than their first birthday outweighs the unadressed reasons why HC itself costs so damn much then you should be a very happy person. If you think insurance companies are shaking with fear at the new law, think again. |

and yes, they will have to raise rates. how could they not? insurance companies have to pay out 85% in claims-but watch the claims come pouring in. like i said, at least it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. wonder when we get downgraded again.

![]() yep, i know it. and many states are opting not to set them up. the work involved is astronomical. the amount of info that will have to be available is mind-boggling.

And if an employer choses to dump his employees off insurance entirely, they will not be left out to dry, they will be able to find individual insurance on the exchanges at the same price and coverageas their previous group rates. In fact, aside from the huge small business benefits, the entire ACA is a very large middle class tax credit - not a fantasy "huge tax hike".
