On top of raping all the taxpayers, the Dems will hold onto the White House for at least another decade or more once all the FSA's realize how much they are getting for free. Only when there is no healthcare to be had (all the experienced Doctors disappear) will they finally realize what a train wreck this is. By then, it will be too late to turn back. |

i dropped insurance. the math no longer adds up now that high deductable limited coverage will be going away. its cheaper to pay the fine and fly to an island for cash treatment for brain surfery every few years than to pay for the insurance they want me to buy. especually all the interest and capitol gains i could be making on that money over the years. only fools or the extremely wealthy would keep buying insurance anymore. eta: just negotiated cash price for our second child. covers hospital, doctors,possibility of surgery and up to ten days of infant and mother care.5200 dollars. cash is king in the land of government healthcare.

I think lots of FSA types who think this is really going to be 'free' are going to be quite surprised. It's not like there isn't a deductible and a maximum out of pocket of 12,700 a year. They'll just go to the ER like they do now.

Quoted:
'tobacco surcharge' So are there going to be mandatory tests? And 10 years in a Federal Pen for lying It will all be something akin to tax evasion with similar risk of penalty for getting caught (anywhere from a fine with loanshark interest and payments, bank account levies, asset forfeiture and all the way up to imprisonment). Mark my words, unless you are a vegetarian office worker with a perfect BMI and no "risky" hobbies or lifestyle choices (or FSA) you are going to be paying a surcharge for something. Yeah, 28% of your household income going to pay insurance is sustainable.... That will work. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't ~30% the maximum amount you should be paying for housing? So healthcare is going to cost as much as your rent/mortgage. Umm, yeah. I can't wait for European style, grinding, barely keeping head above water, apartment dwelling version of the "middle class" to become the new normal here. Sounds fun.
Our 'murica lifestyle of the middle class having large suburban houses, multiple vehicles, boats and other toys, vacation homes etc is in for a huge fucking adjustment. Shit is all gonna be gone and be replaced with "hanging on in quiet desperation". ETA: IMO, I see a societal change back to pre 1950 standards of living (pre suburban explosion) where people were either rural farmers or urban apartment dwellers. The suburbs will be set aside for the FSA (gotta get a big house for those 6 baby gimme pigs that you have squirted out). Or for the multigenerational , newly amnestied chain migrators (amnesty will let everybody who gets it import their parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc). |

What does a bronze plan mean in real terms? How much coverage?
I'll comply with the mandate if it falls in line with what I already want to do, which is catastrophic-only. If not, I'll still get catastrophic-only, and just pay the penalty. And if they fuck the system up badly enough that I CAN'T buy catastrophic only... then I'm just going to break the law. Fuck it. |

I think, for clarification, you should just say you have to pay the percentage you own on your plan, in addition to your monthly premiums (because a presumption could be made by others that you would have to pay the premium amount as a deductibel for every claim. "Deductible" =/= "premium" normally (unless they redefined it in the ACA...I don't know the answer to that, BTW), but the 40% does = deductible = copay But I have some questions, and that I am not 100% sure of the answers to: - Are the insurers in the exchanges not private insurance companies? - If a person goes through the exchange to purchase insurance from one of these private companies, will there be no variation in the insurance policies (i.e. covered claims, deductible amounts, etc.) you can choose from? I can't find the answer anywhere, and all I ever read about is the bronze, silver, gold, platinum plans. Well, if all the insurance companies are offering the same 4 plans, what the hell is the purpose of having an exchange? |

I reapplied and was told Im not insurable because of a rotator cuff injury, they asked if I had recent injury so I said yes a year ago but they didnt state what time frame they were looking for and Im not sure when it falls off - where they cant call it preexisting 6 months or a year. Sure I got some use from it but not $700 a month use. Better for it now. Havent had insurance since Feb '13 also havent been strung to the wire with almost no money to spend. |
