re: I knew my insurance sucked, but I'm really seeing how much it sucks now that I need it

I find it funny that throughout this thread people are mad at Obama, but never say anything about the companies that made the plans. These insurance executives make 40 million a year. They are the ones at fault.

You are wrong. Before Obamacare, insurance was more affordable. Before gvt started Medicare and Medicaid, insurance was cheaper. The reason the prices of insurance is so high is because of all the worthless scum that go to the hospitals and don’t pay shite. When the hospital bulls the gvt for this, they increase the price because they know gvt doesn’t care because gvt is spending your money and not theirs. Then they do the same to insurance, for the same reasons.
If you eliminated insurance and gvt aid to hospitals, you’d see the costs drop drastically. Make everyone responsible for their own healthcare costs and allow insurance to only cover catastrophic events.
The most wasteful way to spend money is for someone to spend someone else’s money on someone else because they have no skin in the game or care about the results.

They've always made that kind of money.

Before Obama those same insurers offered lower premiums and deductibles.
