My health care costs went up across the board and I'm self-employed. Insurance premium went up, office and prescription co-pays went up, more providers have opted out of accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield...

So I pay more every month and receive less healthcare for my dollar...

Real winner of a health care reform measure... woo hoo... more like FU...

Not even close. In fact its the opposite, China has handed over their currency to us, by pegging to the USD. In effect the fact you said "China" shows me your understanding of this is almost the opposite of what it is.

Cool.

Yea Tennessee is one of those anamolies I had heard something about.

Now that may be wrong, but you should check what you have got more for that $, and I'll use a car example ... your state raises it from say 50K to 100k, suddenly your premium will jump ...

Also You need to find out what your increase will have been in the absence of Obama care.

For 2011 I got a refund in the middle of 2012 due to the 80/20 rule. However in 2012 maybe my insurance company paid the claims instead of denying them and the 80/20 refund may not come. That doesn't mean Obamacare cost me more. When they figure out they cant deny claims and line their pockets, they decide to pay the claims ... Maybe you had that happen ... maybe your insurance company was at better than 80/20 say 85/15, and when they saw 80/20, they decided to line their pockets to the tune of 80/20 and deny claims ...

Not all cost increases are cost increases, and not all refunds are refunds ... Obamacare puts more power in the hands of the sick, the ones with pre existing conditions, kids graduating from college etc etc, sometimes it may cost someone not in that situation some $ ... but your insurance company cant drop you when you get sick, or you cant be denied when you have pre existing conditions. Its not perfect, but it seriously puts more power in the hands of the consumer. And as a parent of an autistic child, I can now buy insurance for myself, without employer backing me.

Cool.
Srinath.

China holds much of our debt. They can come here & "buy up" much of what we are using to keep America afloat. Now it appears they are ready to use that leverage to dictate legislation.


& OHHH Yea, WD said it.,., & Bammy, who WILL NOT raise any of our taxes if we make less than $250,000 a year? Well,, my wifes check got smaller, taxes went up AND insurance did too.

Time to wake up. BOTH sides Suck, guys.

Health care cap is still $25K per year. Was slated to go down a bit in price, instead went up.

When was it slated to go down for 2013 ? in 2009 ? AKA before ObamaCare ? Or was it say 2012 (after Obamacare) but went up - as in something changed and went up ? Find out what changed. I dont think I'd blame Obama care without all the details - I dont mean you should give me those details, just check for yourself and you'd see, maybe its something you can live without and save yourself some $.

JOG - China can say all the sheite they want ... we dont have to do squat.
And china is going to buy up, lets say what, for being easy they buy california - OK then what are they going to do ?
We dont have to let them come to visit CA - we dont give them visas.
We dont have to let them take our almonds from CA we can hit em with export duties.
We dont have to do squat china says. They can give us all the $$$ they want, well, they are getting some legislation through corrupt politicians, but the fact they have lent us $$$ isn't getting them that. Politicians are for sale ...

And your taxes or insurance going up, probably to fund Mitt "I got so much money its in my last name" RMoney's viagra or John "I sound like a windbag cos that is the right voice for a politician" Boehner's cigarettes and the Cheney wars ...

JOG: You're right on 1 count ... both sides suck, but after 8 years of Cheney+Bush with 6 of that with a rubber stamp congress and Obama has barely had 2 years in the 4 so far I think I am ready for 6 years of Obama with a rubber stamp congress.

Now we have less than one half of one third of the legislature holding the country hostage to the sequester. The republicons in the congress not even the senate, basically are making sequester go into effect.

Cool.

He he I thought of something ... if your company was denying every claim that came its way, and they were at say 50/50 (as in they are paying out 50% and pocketing 50 ... they could have saved you lots of $$$) take away the motive by limiting their profit @ 20%, then they will be paying the claims and they end up @ say 90% pay out and they would have to raise your premium ...
I'd call that a good thing, cos they're paying instead of denying claims ... but you may not.
Cool.

Everyone knows we give billions to countries who hate us, burn our flag and support terroism. I'd say that might make a good start as far as cutting spending.

BTW the very fact that there has to be cuts shows you how un giving the republicons are ... we didn't send these fools to DC to turn around and hack our heads off. I want to see People like Mitt RMoney pay a little more in taxes. I dont want much of nothing cut - yea foreign countries who hate us, yea cut that. But nothing else, not unemployment, not SS, not medicare/aid ...
Oh yea tax bullets 100 a pop, and use that to psycho analyse the ones hoarding up.

I'm getting on a plane Monday morning and if i have to wait one second longer to have my junk x-rayed because of the POS president, i'm gonna freak out.....  

If you can't find a way to cut a few % points of your budget after you've gotten 17% more the past 4 years, then you need another job....

Hey you have no right to complain Mr CEO ... you're paying nothing in taxes, so not getting X-Rayed promptly is not that bad huh.

Not like me, paying working class taxes on working class wages and still waiting to get x-rayed.

Doesnt matter who is complaining. Everyone has the RIGHT to complain about being abused & whats being done to us IS abuse in the airports.
X-Ray exposure? Not good. Being groped if ya dont wanna get a dose of X-Rays? WRONG,,America is so screwed up..


Ive Finally got it,, Now I know what it is that PIsses me off so much about you Sriwhatever,,

You dont operate on Principle. Its all agenda & justification with you. Pretending a man doesnt have the right to complain because of how he earns his $$$,, what unmitigated horse crap.. I could sit & argue with anyone else here for hours & drink a beer & talk it out, but Im pretty sure I couldnt stay civil in your presence.
