Premiums going up 24.6%
Also going up..
Yearly Deductible and Out of pocket another +600/+500.
Prescription copays from $10 to $25 for the generics.
+ $50 hospital stay per day on top of what it was
Overall from my plan I chose before Obamacare I've gone from:
a 750/1500 deductible/out of pocket
10 co pays
to
2600/6850 deductible/out of pocket
25 co pays
And overall doubled my monthly premiums for that shitty coverage.
I am just gonna say.. frick Obama. frick every Democrat that voted for it. frick every Rep. that has done jack shite to change any of it. And frick every single individual that voted for Obama and the Dems that voted it. And frick the Supreme Court for not ruling that forcing citizens to purchase a private product isn't UnConstitutional. It's fricking ridiculous. Every single one of those listed above is responsible for creating a lot of pain for a lot of individuals. I hope that each one, has a debilitating injury that they can't afford to have taken care of and a speedy shelf life on the rest of their lives. frick them all.
/rant, for now.

It's damn frustrating. I bust my arse to build a business. Started it right when the building/home crash hit full effect. Made it through that, finally starting to get ahead just a little bit. Then...THEN... it's like.. frick you and your hard work, we're taking more from you. Part of me wants to say it must be nice to be content to live in squalor and get a Gov't check and services.. just to sit on your arse and not earn it. But I can't do that. Yet, those folks reap more disposable income than I probably do due to a fricked up Gov't punishing working people.

Not one of the individuals you blame is covered by Obamacare. They all have better government provided plans.
Sorry you have the poors.

Last year my company had an 11% reduction in HC costs and we kept the same plans available to all of our staff. This year the same plans are going to cost 28% more.
A couple of the guys that work for me found out that they could get better plans on the healthcare.gov sites. The guys with family plans were screwed either way.
We may not offer health insurance anymore (as a company,) if enough of the employees want to pull out and pay for their own plans.
Just a reminder to anyone who also owns/runs a business and who's in a similar situation. It is illegal for you to say or put anything in writing that you are giving your employees raises so they can get their own healthcare plans. It is not illegal if you decide to give them a merit based raise and that just so happens to happen timely around open enrollment.

Living in squalor?!? The projects in my town have just been remodeled...granite countertops, solar powered, the works...probably live better than most middle class!

Yes, because Congress voted that they are exempt from a law that they impose on the rest of us.
Some people are more equal than others.

Kentucky swept these people out of state government yesterday. Let's see if the new promise-givers are any different.

My health insurer raised its premiums 23% last year, and this year sent me a letter saying that it is getting out of the business. I can't wait to go shopping!!!

My premiums have gone ridiculous, too. I am healthy as a horse, never had a major illness, good BP, good BMI, etc.

That shite don't matter, brah. You're paying for them and their health problems, not you and yours. Them don't pay for anything, and everyone that works pays for them.
