Obama Promised Healthcare Premiums Would Fall $2,500 Per Family; They Have Climbed $4,865

Quick (new) O’care nightmare/reality story.

In July I get an email from someone at my health insurance company (not the agent/broker, actual insurance company) and it contains multiple attachments (what’s new, feels like the paperwork is a never ending requirement even for a company with THREE employees). This email states that we are getting a “rebate” of 70-80% of our annual premiums paid for 2014.

I figured it was some new phishing scam and deleted it. Then I purged my account so that sender couldn’t spam me anymore.

In August my agent got a hold of me for both renewals and to tell me to contact the insurer, turns out if was legitimate after all.

So, gleefully awaiting this HUGE rebate, I open the (new) email, and the first paragraphs states that this “rebate” is ONLY for LARGE employers, so the unions and government mainly.

I call the (clueless) woman at the insurance company and ask her how I qualify when we have THREE employees? “In what universe is a group of three considered a “large” employer?”
“But you paid over $20,000 in premiums in 2014,”
“Yep, sure did, absolutely disgusting isn’t it, but that still doesn’t make me a “large” employer.”
“Oh, I have to talk to my supervisor and call you back.”

Needless to say I’m still waiting for the call back and explanation. Cripes.

This is what I know. My son’s girlfriend, because they aren’t married, and she is home taking care of their child with no government assistance, has to pay over $160 a month for a policy with a $5000 deductible that pays NOTHING except for birth control and the annual exam, no labs though, until the $5000 is made. They can’t afford it so pay the fine.

My sister whom works 24 hours a week and makes $10 an hour pays nothing for a policy that only pays for antibiotics and one doctor’s visit a year. Nothing else. If she gets cancer she may, or may not, qualify for medicare (-aid? never remember), same with my future daughter in law.

My own policy has gone from too expensive premiums with small co-pays if you used it, to way more expensive premiums and HUGE out of pockets. Basically we now pay, as a family, $1300 a month plus the first $7500/$15,000 of nearly every single doctor, hospital, or pharm bill.

Of course we all knew this was the real purpose of the bill. To DESTROY the private insurers while cementing the banksters, pharmaceuticals, and their colleges, and their government agencies, as the true winners of the system. Which means that most of them will survive when this system ultimately collapses and we go full European/can’t do basic math and do the single payer/government tax and waste and spend.

I am so damned grateful I removed myself from as much of the paradigm as I could. If I had my way I’d pay the damned fine and then go out and find a catastrophic policy as protection. As it is now I pay $15,600 and that is if I NEVER use the damned “insurance.”

Insanity at its finest. The implosion of this financial and expert-based house of cards is going to be nothing short of spectacular.

And that’s just the tip. (Now I’m two for two with the white girls bar joke).

There is still the question of millions missing from Michelle Obama Jarrett,her daughter.Never investigated never prosecuted.Further peddled as a blatant lie and behind closed doors WITH Congress, BIG PHARMA.,Must be irradicated,as BOcare will be used as weapon of mass destruction,redistrabution against middle class by our m Brotherhood pres.All illegals will get free everything as middleclass gets the bill in the form of high premiums and no care .

Sorry, folks, but “Obamacare” is a complete success. The legislation has produced the exact, desired result.

Single-payer health care works very well indeed, so that ill NEVER happen in the USA, simply because those with the “Government’s ear” really don’t want single payer – they want (and have got) an Insurance cartel that charges what it likes – and gets away with it since it is backed by the “Government”.

Those who have “paid the Piper” (via bribes (“Campaign contributions”) / lobbying), expected, and received, the desired “return” on their “investment”. Just the same as we have all seen with the “Banking Industry” – no penalties at all for outright theft, running into the high billions of $$s, yet we regularly see the “ordinary people” being subjected to theft at gunpoint (“Asset Forfeiture”), and murder (’cause your Cops “felt threatened”!!), with either no, or very minor, consequences for those “doing the deed”.

Welcome to “Todays America” – where money and connections provide immunity from prosecution, whilst the “lesser mortals” are regarded as ripe for picking / abuse / murder by those who are “supposed” to “uphold the Law”.

Greetings,

So, I’m at my doctors last week and we are discussing whether or not I need to have an MRI to figure out what is happening with an injury to my hand. I asked my doctor if I could opt for, instead, a trip to Japan for my MRI as it would be cheaper to fly me to Japan, put me up in a nice resort for 3 days and then get my MRI as it would be to get it done locally. He just gave me a smirk so I let him know that I’ve already seen his (and most other doctors) replacement as I’ve worked within this last year for several companies that have replacements (to include surgery) robots just waiting to go.

I told him he had 5 years left at best and then he’d be “just like the rest of us”.

This topic alone will start a political revolution among the sleeping middle class.

What kind of fucked up system is it where you can’t even opt out? I should be able to skip health insurance, and hospitals should be allowed to tell me to go off and die if I don’t have the ability to pay. EMTALA was the first mistake.

i could go to VA and die in the waiting room. my preference is a morphine drip and i hold the booster button an fade away blissfully. since i have no assets it is a win win deal for the liberals, one less conservative male. yet i would be denied that one request meaning i may freeze to death without the yet to be invented log loader, maybe a female robot who cooks. and stokes the stove..
