MOTHER FUCKING OBAMACARE

[AUTailgatingRules]

Just got a letter from BCBS and my family insurance for 2016 is now $1287.14/month.

This is up from $985 in 2015

Which was up from $750 in 2014

Which is up from $588 in 2013

Did I mention I now have a $2,000 per person deductible?  Up from $750/person in 2013

THANKS A MOTHERFUCKING LOT OBAMA

Don't be such a dick. There are probably a couple of folks on here that appreciate you!

Mine has gone up an average of 17-18% each of the last 3 years (for 14, for 15, and now for 16). We got a memo saying that each of those increases was 90% because of The AHCA, the other 10% being the normal year to year inflation/general increase. Mine used to increase 2-4% a year. Now its falling in the 15-20% range. Many don't know this but the increase is an easy formula: 70% of the population is paying for 30%'s free or subsidized healthcare by the way of increased premiums. I'm not sure why this is so hard to figure out for folks. I don't know how anyone can espouse that this thing helped the country as a whole. Its just more wealth redistribution and socialism in the guise of a cutesy name that would appear to help the entire population as a whole "Affordable healthcare act" - sounds good, except it isn't true. People are so stupid and gullable. And history repeats itself.

Mines still free.   


I do feel sorry for folks going through this shit. The folks here at work have had their rates raised about 22% this year. I don't know how some of them afford it.

I guess no one wants to here my BCBS didn't go up. With dental and vision it costs about $130.00 a month. Of course I'm single and no kids and work for a top 5 fortune 500 privately held company.

FTFY- I am good looking on the internets. (some of you know better)

Mine went up very little.

But we made a huge change several years ago in anticipation of ACA. The plans went to shit. The rates were actually manageable.

We went to an HRA, where the company gives you a certain amount of money and when that runs out, you have to continue to meet your deductible before it kicks in at 80/20. We had co-pays before.

Deductible went up $250 this year.

So in some way, we are still paying for the free-loaders.

And yes, I TOO, work for a Fortune 500 company. But I don't usually tell people, cause no one really cares!

He really does folks. He'll buy you a Landshark if you rub his belly the right way. I mean...I heard that somewhere from someone.

I'm just a pee on meat cutter "Where shopping is a pleasure." I care too.

You piss on the meat?  Damn it, I'd strongly consider firing you.  A stern reprimand at the very least.

Well not pee on it but I will tea bag it if you get too picky.

A verbal warning for the first offense.

"Come on man! Don't piss on the meat. We've got to sell that. Consider yourself warned."

I work for the only company that matters....MINE. 

And my fortunes just went down the tubes to the tune of $15,000/year in insurance costs

It's one of the greatest phrases known to man. Who knew thst 3 little words, when put together to form one simple sentence,  could make such a profound statement in a variety of environments.
