We had Blue Cross, but it went up 30%, so the company switched to Cigna. Now ~$900mo and $2k deductible. The deductible is a first for me for company supplied health care
Get ready for a government run single payer health plan, with even worse rates Tar and feather the democrats, anyone? |

Quoted:
Amid rising drug and health care costs and roiling market dynamics, the spokesperson for the nation’s health insurers is predicting substantial increases next year in Obamacare premiums and related costs. Without venturing a specific percentage increase, Marilyn Tavenner, the president and CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), said in an interview with Morning Consult that the culmination of market shifts and rising health care costs will force stark increases in health insurance rates in the coming year. “I’ve been asked, what are the premiums going to look like?” she said. “I don’t know because it also varies by state, market, even within markets. But I think the overall trend is going to be higher than we saw previous years. That’s my big prediction.” If Tavenner is right, Obamacare will jump dramatically—last year’s premium for the popular silver-level plan surged 11 percent on average. Although Tavenner didn’t mention deductibles, in 2016, some states saw jumps of 76 percent, while the average deductible for a 27-year-old male on a silver plan was 8 percent. Bend over Just look at the headlines about the huge losses. That means most are probably underpriced for 2016 still. Even if they were perfectly priced in 2016, you could expect 10% or more increases due to regular medical inflation plust the end of certain programs that were temporary with the rollout of obamacare. So stand by for 20% or much greater as the norm for 2017. Just in time for election season. I wish carriers would send out price increase letters timed to arrive a few days before the election, with a big "thanks obama" sign at the end of the letter. |

Welcome to the boiling pot. People are only now starting to realize they are the frogs. |

I'm talking about the congress critters who passed the fucking abortion to start with. I will never believe they didn't know what a mess it would be and that it would cost MASSIVELY more than we were told. All they did was get the camel's nose under the tent while simultaneously scrapping the existing system so there is basically nothing to go back to easily. The cocksuckers have committed us all to an eventual single payer system and they knew it when they did it. When Cruella DeVille stood up there and infamously said, "We have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it," the Parliamentarian and Master at Arms should have snatched the fucking gavel out of her hand and had her escorted from the building. The dumb bitch stood there and proudly proclaimed that they were passing shit without even knowing WTF was in it. 
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY THAT BITCH STILL HAS A JOB????? I don't think prosecuting members of the former administration is a good idea in most cases. That shit can get out of hand real quick and you can find yourself in a dictatorship BUT, when they do something so deceitful and hurtful to so many, I say prosecute the shit out of 'em. YMMV |

Her doctor wanted to prescribe Harvoni, but said her insurance wouldn’t cover it, she said. “They say I’m not sick enough to have it,” she said. “They want it in a chronic stage.” An admitted former drug user, Ms. Owens went to a drug-treatment program and is now an organizer for Vocal-NY, an advocacy group for low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C.

They need 5 families like you to pay for 1 person with Hepatitis C to receive the new treatment. From an older article in the WSJ, these are the folks you are paying to have covered: Elizabeth Owens, 58 years old, of New York City, said she was diagnosed with hepatitis C two years ago. Her doctor wanted to prescribe Harvoni, but said her insurance wouldn’t cover it, she said. “They say I’m not sick enough to have it,” she said. “They want it in a chronic stage.” An admitted former drug user, Ms. Owens went to a drug-treatment program and is now an organizer for Vocal-NY, an advocacy group for low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C. Her doctor told her it might take a couple of years until her hepatitis is severe enough to qualify, she said. I saw that california is now mandating that insurers on their exchange exclude hospitals that perform too many c-sections from their network. Soon enough they'll all be mandating plan design, mandating provider network inclusions/exclusions, etc. ... and they'll blame the resulting problems on "the free market" over and over until the they get enough support to put in the "public option". |

When do they release the increase figures? Before or after the election? The individual and small group rate increases will be released before the election. The proposed rate increases in most states are due no later than the middle of next month. |
