So I got my letter from my healthcare company

Which is shocking because I have full coverage. Maternity, psych, child care, etc. ADP (the payroll provider for 1 in 6 employees in the US) sent letters to everyone telling us our insurance will likely change.
Awesome news. Can't wait to see what I'll be paying here shortly. Between me and my employer we pay ~$1200 / month for it now.
And I can't wait for mid-term elections.
I'm not voting for a single incumbent. frick 'em all.

If you're an unmarried adult male, why in the hell do you need any of this?

I don't. But since January, I've been forced to have it. And in the process, pay 60% more in premiums a month, and saw my OOP and yearly deduct. go from $750/$1500 to $2,000/$6,000. Forward... or some shite.

Kaiser says the average cost is $16,351 in 2013. You are below average cost.
Congrats.
Congrats.

ftr, this is how insurance works. Pooling of the resources. You might not need it now, but maybe in the future you will.
I get why you don't like it, and I am not a fan of obamacare. Obama didn't invent the model of shared risk, he just mandated that you participate.

No. It's not. Insurance calculates risk and puts people into categories and adjusts prices based on this. Obamacare strips that completely away and that's why you have the shitshow going on now.

No, its really how insurance works, pooling of risks.
Obamacare's problem is they are trying to engineer this complicated system to promote certain goals. The more complicated the system the more distorted the results are. Look at our tax code.
Single payer would have been much more straightforward and less of shitstorm, this is like single payer while offering private companies the ability to participate.
It just too complicated and too many disincentives.

Pretty sure your Representative is a conservative. He voted against Obama Care. Would you rather see some scumbag like Alan Grayson win his seat because you are randomly voting against people who may well have had your best interest in mind.
Vote wisely, my friend.

I'm married with two kids BUT we're done having kids. I'd like to get rid of maternity. One, because it's an extra $100 / month or so. Two, because it's shite coverage.
Any maternity coverage where you actually PAY for the insurance is shite. Medicaid... You's fully covered!

Nope. The R's are too fricking weak to do anything. They need new leadership. The weak arse R's in there are too afraid to do shite.
Absolutely no backbone.

The day Alan Grayson gets my vote is the day I kill myself.
And believe me... If John Boehner was from my district, I'd be voting for anyone but him. Guy is a hack.
