Insurance for my family in 2000 was about 400 Now it is 1700 a month. Mr President fix

me and the wife are both small business owners. It's un-fricking-believable how much insurance is. She's 11 weeks pregnant and between the cost of insurance and deductible, it's much cheaper to pay for the ultrasounds/visits out of pocket and then sign up for insurance in November for open enrollment.

If it weren't for my previous job being such a dogshit work environment that was going to end up leading to issues at home....I would have stayed and eaten shite just for the insurance.

I am an independent contractor so I have to pay the whole nut. Me my wife and 3 small children early 2000s around 400 to 600 Now 1700 and my deductibles are 8000 per individual and 14000 family. So if I go to hospital they pay some but I still walk out owing over 2000 for the surgery I just had on my gallbladder and I owe over 2000 dollars. So do I have insurance or not.

What exactly do you want, free healthcare. 2grand for a gallbladder operation and you are complaining? The anesthetics alone probably cost more.

I don't want to start an argument, but what do you want, free health care? Actually that would be okay for many, but do you want the tax hikes that would come (unless we just added it to the deficit),

And for the most part you were able to.

You really want to get into a who didn't keep campaign promises argument?

No. It doesn’t.

Lol. The next sentence was “The only change you’ll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold.”

Bahahahahaha

And then there was this gem:

quote:

---

I don’t believe we should give government or the insurance companies more control over health care in America. I think it’s time to give you, the American people, more control over your health.

Then there was this one:

quote:

---

the only changes you will see under the law are new benefits, better protections from insurance company abuses, and more value for every dollar you spend on health care. If you like your plan you can keep it and you don’t have to change a thing due to the health care law.

---

Then this one:

quote:

---

If you’re one of the more than 250 million Americans who already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance — this law will only make it more secure and more affordable.

Great stuff. Really top tier.

Get a different job that offers better insurance. I pay $310 biweekly with no deductible for family coverage. Might switch over to my wife’s insurance since her premiums have stayed the same for years while mine increased dramatically every year.

Obama was in general right on the bill, it was the GOP that kept many of his promises from coming true. There is an entire book about this. Read it. I did.

Now do auto and home insurance. A complete fricking rip off. Between sky high insurance and sky-high property taxes the globalists are going to eventually get what they want. Klaus Schwab said we would own nothing. At this rate we will be priced out of our homes and cars and they'll have everyone by the balls on healthcare.

Why would I read fiction? Everyone who knew anything about insurance knew that eliminating pre-existing conditions, making a bunch of people free riders in the system and eliminating policy lifetime maximums would drive up costs in ways almost unimaginable. frick out of here with your sophomoric idiocy.

Lay off the insults. You might disagree with me but I am someone on this board you can have an intelligent conversation with so please.

Pre-existing conditions. This is an issue of mathematics vs emotions. As someone who is from a family of engineers I generally go with the math guys, but this time, sorry, I mean, seriously? We should help people with pre-existing conditions they were born with. Should kids born with a cleft palate or juvenile diabetes, or teens who develop arthritis (or older people who develop it) or people with psoriasis or exzema or spinal issues from osteoarthritis really just suffer?

No, I don't think so.
