God I am so pissed.
Blue Cross/Blue shield of NC wants me to roll into a "silver" plan which gives a hell of a lot less coverage for 3x the price. Going to tell Blue Cross/Blue Shield that if they had wanted to keep me as a customer, they would have lobbied harder against Obama Care. |

Strange I remember our beloved President saying that if you liked your plan you could keep it. You telling me he lied?

I flinch everytine seeing healthcare letters in the mailbox. I'm thinking I owe too much for them to cancel me right now or my plan is already shitty ?

I received mine last week, grandfathered in with a roughly 30% increase from 290 to 371 - individual plan, 50 years old.

Tell them that Obama promised the same plan $2500 cheaper. That is your starting point for negotiation.

Got my From BC/BS in my state, and in order to keep the same plan (which equals out to bronze coverage) my premium is increasing 100%.
Im dropping it and taking the fine the first year. (Im young and in goo health.) |
|
FED VIP BC/BS, I hate to say it but I'm kind of glad I have the same health care as those dick eating politicians. No rise in cost and excellent coverage. I do feel bad for the rest of you though. I'll be fucked if they ever change it, my son has asthma, his coverage alone is worth thousands yearly.

According to the Democrats, your insurance sucked but you were just too stupid to realize it.
You should be thankful that Obama has pointed this out to you. |

The entire purpose of Obamacare is to further the advance of socialism in America by eliminating the average shmoe's discretionary income.

View Quote Where are the jackasses like JIP on this site who claimed that Obamacare was a good thing and ate up all the BS that spewed from Obama's mouth? I haven't seen many of them ever since all the things that we knew would come to pass have started to hurt the American people. |

View Quote The insurance companies told the administration (or whatever 5 year olds they had writing the bill) what they needed in order for all this to work and were, in the end, largely ignored. Some of these same insurance companies tried to speak out about what was coming. The feds threatened them with jail time for a half dozen bullshit things and shut them up. Place blame where it's due. |

Individual plan, I am self a self employed farmer. That means I need insurance against big things, like getting mauled by a piece of equipment, I don't use insurance for the small stuff, just paid cash. View Quote Dude, you need to get with the program. Healthcare costs are spiraling. The only way to deal with that is to make the people who actually pay taxes pay MORE for their "insurance." The wealth IS gonna be distributed, like it or not. |

Those damn insurance companies and their greed cancelling people's healthcare!!!! WE NEED SINGLE PAYER NOW!!!!!

They seem to have the best rates. |

There's a website that is putting together everybody's cancellation notices but I forget what it is |

another one bites the dust. It's just another drive towards a single payer system.

we got ours the other day. we had FREE health insurance. FREE. and now its all changed nothing too awful but not free anymore.
FBHO. |

Insurance Industry will not fight as they fear an IRS audit, but make no mistake about it some how they will will still make bank from Criminalcare

if we were all not so stupid, the president would not have had to lie to us.
glorious leader is glorious. Don't taze me, NSA |
|
I love paying for other people's shit. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
|
|
Join the club OP. I am cancelled as well come the first of the year. The FBHO healthcare website is a fucking joke and a waste of time. Don't know what I am going to do but I guess I have two months to figure it out.

my letter offered me a similar plan under Obamacare for 3.2X the price of my current plan, which I will be keeping until any little thing changes and I get fucked over.

I suspect a lot of younger people will do the same thing and the system will fall flat on its face when the $$$ runs out. Like it did in Feb of this year. |

(I'm young and in good health.) View Quote Something to consider but get proper advice first to make sure that you do not do anything illegal. Some have stated that the fine can only be stolen from a federal tax REFUND. If that is true, and for whatever reason you increase your withholding such that you have to pay some federal tax on April 15 instead of getting a refund, how will they get the fine? Note that what you pay in federal taxes is not determined by your refund/required payment on April 15th. |

I'm surprised some enterprising lawyer hasn't filed a class action suit against the government.
