You pay taxes? You are still going to lose this.

This has screwed me over and I used to have everything a plush plan paid for mostly by the company. Low deductible, 20 copay, and 27 bucks per month premium. Now, deductibles went up, copay is basically go eat and replaced with 20% pay, and I pay 90+ bucks each paycheck (bimonthly).

Elections have consequences. The american public was dumb enough to not only vote in Obama, but give the democrats a majority in congress. This thing is an absolute mess.

This is the problem I'm having. Company covers my healthcare but every time it goes up they refrain from giving salary raises. shite has been pissing me off for years!

national carriers such as UnitedHealth Group, Humana and Aetna scaled back their roles.

The largest hospital and health care provider in N. MS will no longer accept United Healthcare.

"In April, North Mississippi Health Services noticed electronic reimbursements were coming across as paid, but at $0 for some United Healthcare subscribers. When the two companies failed to resolve the issue by the end of September, the Tupelo-based system publicly announced plans to terminate its provider agreement with the insurer for 2017."

Mine have gone up about 300% over 4 yrs

My paycheck has gone up about 12%

Frick Obama and the clown Hillary too

Ask a Democrat about why Obamacare sucks so bad. I guarantee you that to a man they will tell you it was because the House Democrats had to make concessions to insurance companies so it could pass because of the evil Republicans. But what they won't say - what they may not even know - is that NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN IN EITHER HOUSE OF CONGRESS voted for this abomination. Yes, that's right, they blame Republicans for a law that was passed by a Democratic president with ZERO Republican yays in Congress,

That, my friends, is the kind of willful ignorance that the Democratic Party thrives off of. /rant

Why is it Obama's fault?

If you can't get in a group, where else are you going to go?

Health care costs, prescriptions, etc. - and health insurance - is going up regardless of Obama.

Each year, health care cost rise like 15% - not because of Obamacare but on their own.

How do you fix that?

He pushed through a massive healthcare bill. He owns the results .

No individual mandate. Then insurers have to keep premiums down or people will tell them to get bent. You can keep guaranteed issue and protect the insurers by allowing protections such as condition-specific deductibles and benefit reduction penalties for being uninsured within the last three years.

Stop piling on "essential" coverage requirements. Let insurance be for unexpected catastrophic expenses.

Allow insurers to factor an individual's claims history into the premium. You can even keep the 3:1 ratio like they have for age. If it's fair to charge a person more because they were born a certain year, it's also fair to charge a person more for their medical history. Then people who don't use the medical system or who pay cash can catch a break.

Oddly enough today was Enrollment Day for 2017 at the workplace.

I pay currently around 200 bucks a month for coverage. Starting January I will pay 80 bucks total for Health, Dental, Vision, ADD, Life.

Coverage actually got better. Thanks United Health Care!
