President Obama!

I figure in 5 years it will no longer be called 'Obamacare', because it will be so popular that the Repubs won't want it associated with a Democratic President.

15-20 Percent Aren't Paying Obamacare Premiums, Insurer Says - NationalJournal.com

And what is the average subsidy? There is a problem with the program when someone making as much as I do would have gotten a small subsidy because the coverage has to be so inclusive that the premiums are that high.

I would have no problem with ACA if there were different levels of coverage, not mandatory(that is not working anyway), and anything after basic coverage is 100% paid for by the covered.

My subsidy was $0 and I still ended up saving $520/month for the same coverage.

I'm happy for you, but I bet you are in the minority. Companies are not dropping coverage on people because premiums are going down.

right. They are dropping them because they can. This is bigger than any tax break Republicans ever supported.

a couple months ago I asked you about co-pays and deductibles......crickets !!

a couple months ago I asked you about co-pays and deductibles......crickets !!

yes. I have them. Always have. They haven changed and thus I said im paying $520/month less for the same coverage.

 

[moreluck]

I don't have co-pays and deductibles.

 

[bbsam]

I don't have co-pays and deductibles.

maybe you should.

maybe you should.

Whoah there buddy, keep your government hands off her medicare!

We just become more reasonable consumers when we have "skin in the game".

 

[moreluck]

maybe you should.

I pay monthly for Medicare.
I pay monthly for Supplemental Plan friend.
I pay monthly for a prescription plan.

I pay monthly so I don't have to shell out everytime I turn around.

It won't be called AFFORDABLE care act either !!!!

I pay monthly because that's how insurance works.

 

[moreluck]

Yeah, but when you add up your monthly, your co-pay and your prescriptions I bet your paying more per month than you used to. But you will never admit it because you see Obamacare with blinders on.

Now you sound like FedEx management.

I doubt it. We don't spend $520 a month more in co pays etc. We have the same 80/20 coverage wit $4500 deductible we used to have. Only difference is one of my wife's prescriptions is $15 instead of $60.

 

[bbsam]

Now you sound like FedEx management.

go pay full price for insurance in the exchange and just see if you don't gain a new perspective.
