I did not realize Obamacare cost increases over the last few years were all Trumps Fault

Keep reading, keep thinking...

Once age is taken into account, those born in 1990 have double the risk of colon cancer and quadruple the risk of rectal cancer compared to people born around 1950, when risk was lowest.

This is just colon cancer.

No, you are worse than both. You are a dumbass who can't get it through your thick head that the country needs responsible public policies. This is why you like Trump - he is a dumbass too.

your funny and not hyperbolic or partisan at all...

I identify as a cookie monster nihilist. The nothingness of cookie monster, looks like you already practiced it.

 

[Unclebaldrick]

Sorry that Humana and Aetna disagree, but facts.

What facts? Gee, Humana and Aetna want more profits and hold you in their thrall. Big fucking deal. Damn near every industry association realizes that Trump-care is fucked and you quote corporate, for-profit sources and accept what they say as your own opinion. You are too stupid for information - you need FOX.

Cookie monster hates you.

Who's worth $40million plus bonuses a year to sit behind a desk and cry about money?

And then take every tax loophole in the book, legislated just for them.

Can you identify the enemy yet?

More like, project SHIT - which is all you seem capable of doing.

What shape is the Earth?

I identify you as a wealth enabler.

But not for your own social class.

not Pravda? I'd say that relative to Pravda, Fox is unbiased.

Ironically, Pravda/Правда is Russian for "Truth."

Project SHAD

Wrong direction.
Look ahead 10 yrs, 12,000,000 un-diagnosed cases of colon cancer, That will have no bearing on our nation?

Are you sure you are not a communist plant?

 

[rkymtnman]

Obamacare Premiums to Rise 25%

and subsequent to that, insurance companies profits to rise to 35%.

can you connect the dots?

nope, just the IQ of a plant.

I love my union retiree coverage group rate.

Everybody should have a group rate. Somebody is taking advantage of somebody with these fucking rates.

While a CEO laughs in the Caymans.

I pay $103 @ month for myself and get excellent care with $3 co-pays, I'm with you on that someone is fucking lots a folk out there, is it any wonder why the pukes hate Unions so much especially Trump.

How does $103 rate in terms of other policies? I have no clue about shit like that.

How does $103 rate in terms of other policies? I have no clue about shit like that.

I pay $350 for me and the wife.
$10 copay $600 deductable ($300 ea.)

Before I retired, it was $20 copay, same deductable but free otherwise.

These group rates are special arrangements. Example:
Dr. charges $500. Insurance co. pays $215 and you pay $10. Fine print says, 'by special arrangement between Highmark, your Dr. accepts this as full payment.'
Neither Drs., hospitals, dentists, PT, nobody gets what they charge. They inflate the price to get the insurance co. to pay what they expected to begin with.
They all seem to be doing OK. Lol.

When you have upwards of 40,000 members in a Union and a dedicated arm of that union who sole purpose is to look out for retirees health care issue they negotiate with insurance companies for their members, that is strength in numbers. My union just bargained for dental it's not much but how many retirees can say their pension covers dental.

You have insurance companies raping individuals in the form of higher deductibles and premiums cause they have no bargaining position. Take greed/profit out of health insurance and watch $1,000 @ month premiums disappear.

It's not straightforward question to answer because people can affect cost of coverage by choices such as deductible and subsidies are available for people with low income. Average cost is listed below. Not out of line with what I pay. But I get pretty good coverage. Last year my wife broke five ribs in a bicycle accident. We ended up out of pocket cost of around $1100 including deductible. Not cheap. But the accident would have been ruinous if we hadn't had coverage.


https://resources.ehealthinsurance.com/affordable-care-act/much-health-insurance-cost-without-subsidy
Average premiums and deductibles nationwide unsubsidized shoppers:

• Premiums for individual coverage averaged $321 per month while premiums for family plans averaged $833 per month.
• The average annual deductible for individual plans was $4,358 and the average deductible for family plans was $7,983.

Sounds like a good thing. Like I said, I don't know, I'm (guiltily) lucky enough to not have to pay for insurance, so thanks for the info.

I don't know why so many people in this country don't demand their legislators to introduce a bill for universal healthcare coverage that cuts insurance companies out of the picture all together.

Medicare has been a good deal for my mom. She would have been broke and completely dependent on state and federal support for years now if it hadn't been for Medicare. It's time to recognize healthcare as a public service that everybody needs like roads and defense.

Don't be mean.


I like plants.

If you go back that far much of the news was a horrible yellow-journalism shit-show.

Pravda was still around in 1991. But I get what you are saying.
