Health Care

[Glenn Quagmire]

So Southwind is suddenly worried about the less fortunate among us? How socialist of you.
I figured you would tell them to get a better job with better benefits. Isn't that your mantra?

Southwind has always cared about people, as long as they are Southern, White, Male, and drive a pick-em-up truck.

Believe it or not, single payor is the goal here.

I guess they just got tired after 21 reasons.

I think I saw a listt of the top fen western nations. The US is the only one which did not have universal health care. Yet the rspublicans scream that it is bad. I dont get it. Looks like Vermont is going to give single payer a try so we will just have to sit back and see. You can bet that the insurance companies and the right wing are going to everything they can to make it fail. Hopefully they will fail and we can get single payer here in the US.

People like Dog and Tree don't give a rats ass.....apparently they're not affected by BaRack-O-Care! I'm sure if their healthcare doubled, they wouldn't be advocates !

Have you looked at how your own insurance options have devolved just in the last few years alone?

Here, as in here in the US, or here as in here in the 'Cooler?
 
Either way, we should be so lucky...

Maybe you are right.

They get rid of the $6350 and $12000 deductibles then?

Don't fret Kev! I'm sure once our respective company gets tired of being forced to funnel money into BaRack-O-Care (For nothing in return) and decide to just pay the fine and tell you and I to go to Healthcare.gov, that at least you'll be happy !

Why don't you show you love and support for your annonited One, tell your company you don't want healthcare from them and sign up for BaRack-O-Care..............he needs your support, more than ever now!

My healthcare went up $4.00 a month..............uhggggggg, the humanity !

 

[Kev3188]

That's nice, but I wasn't talking just about premiums. How about the deductible? Co-insurance max? Covered meds?
 
BTW, you must've missed it the first time around; I no longer have insurance through our employer. I've already saved them thousands. Can you say the same?
 
You can thank me on Valentine's Day...

 

[Force Majeure]

My health insurance rates have gone up every year in the last eight years (as far as I could look back).

But with this "Southwind" and others type logic, it seems that this year it is only because of the ACA that any premiums, co-pays, or deductibles increased?

I can tell you, deductibles are off the scale. Think of someone shelling out say $600 a month in deductible costs ......good chance he won't exceed that for that calender year.....what about the mortgage/rent/car/food?
 
1500 and 2500 deductibles were easier to deal with before Obama fixed it.
