Im just sick and tired of everyone blaming the ACA for their rate increases when the rates were already increasing prior to even talks about the ACA. You cant sit there and act like your health insurance stayed the same over the 10-15 years before the ACA was voted on because it didnt. The biggest complaint prior to the ACA was that health costs were increasing to the point it was bankrupting people. Is the new system perfect... NO, Can it be IMPROVED, yes. Are the dickhead republicans trying to IMPROVE it, NO. If they spent as much time trying to improve the damn thing than they were trying to repeal it, we would have a much better outcome for the people. But instead they are so butthurt about the fact that the Dems actually got through a piece of legislation that actually does something that they cant let it go. Its complete bullshit.

My healthcare costs went down actually the year prior. Those dickhead republicans lol...

All that needed to happen with the old system was to allow competition across state lines and TORT Reform. Remember that argument? Then healthcare cost would have dropped. And that's what those mean old republicans wanted, not Obamacare.

But now due to all the dumbasses who wanted to buy into the "insure the uninsured" bull shit, Obamacare has removed all possibility of competition and left the price control to the same bureaucrats and insurance companies that were jacking up the prices in the first place.

Yes because in the end we need to make sure that everyone is on an equal platform. Especially the ones on welfare / food stamps - because they are not getting enough as it is.

So in return hard workers like us feel the extra burden.

The best example is the hidden 3.8% tax on housing sales, and yes granted it is on the wealthy for the most part but same ideal. "to help fund obamacare" by taxing more.

As of january 1st. Due to Obama's Cadillac tax. My health care and what I have to pay has almost tripled on top of the already 22% they had already raised it over the past 2years when they announced obama care going into effect.


I still pay the same weekly premiums ($110/fam) we are now using "UNITED HEALTHCARE"
How ever yearly out of pocket expense went from $2500 cap to now $6,000

Also any visit to the ER costs $350 out of pocket before they even pay.
also my copay's... any visit to the hospital that requires a stay is also now $350/per day in copay's

So since I have a baby due in april and we stayed 5 days last our last child. I now have to pay $1750 before we leave the hospital just in copay's. That doesn't include anything else.

United health care is one of if not the largest healthcare providers too.

Mean while the child my ex wife had (wasnt mine for those wondering) was using medicare and we had zero out of pocket expenses and better service then ive had with all my children since. My wife's 6 months along and we still dont know what the baby is because they wont do another ultrasound.(last one was at 3months) as there is nothing abnormal going on.
