Bunch of BS and hype. There's nothing affordable about my health insurance going up 15% last summer and 33% next month. mad

He dropped the ball by letting insurers rape us before anything kicked in. Chicken shˇt didn't want to screw up an election or something. Any "savings" coming up has been wiped out for years with the increases.

I'm very disappointed in a lot Obama has not done.

You could drop that policy like a hot potato and shop the exchanges for a better deal, or use the exchange pricing for leverage.

THANX!
Sure glad the Mayan Apocalypse
didn’t stop it “dead in it’s tracks”
crazy

but seriously
"THEY" should have done more to clarify options
thereby making it easier to understand so we
could make more informed decisions.

Allowing the GOP to set the narrative from the
outset wasn't, at least IMHO, a good move. eek

ANYWAY
I still don't know what to expect on disability,
I WE got royally screwed under "HilaryCare"
(The HMO System that Privatized public clinics.)

For a lot of people, it's going to work out very well. For others, not so much. But rather than comparing what rates you get now vs. what you will be getting under the ACA, you should be comparing rates you'll get under the ACA vs. what they would have been had nothing passed.

Will the effect of ACA on insurance rates -- even with insurers ramping them up in the interim period -- bring them below what they would have been at this point in a non-ACA scenario? Even if it's break-even it's still a win because more people will be insured ...

Also, if you're self-employed, definitely look into the Exchanges -- I know I will be =)

What Six said. In the meantime, if you wanna be pissed off at anyone, it should be the insurance companies who've decided to hose their policy holders while they still can.

My wife's insurance has suddenly decided that we have to produce proof that we are married so that they will continue coverage for me as a dependent. They want a copy of our marriage certificate (like we know where that is after 34 years)! wtf?

We are in the gray zone before the Affordable Health Care act becomes law.
Insurance companies will do everything and anything they can to take advantage.
Like requiring my Mothers primary doctor to fill out a referral form every time she uses Medicare. mad

For my latest blood work for my cancer screening, the hospital charged and Medacare paid $750.

I talked to a technician that does the testing. He says it cost about $0.86 .

But, hey. I have no choice. On that.
