Just spent 2 hours in a presentation for 3 options. Still confused, but I think it boils down to "do you feel lucky punk, well do you"?

I'm not sure if we can get into it here, but it's not good, all I can say is we've paid for our own health insurance since I retired in 2006 and we're hosed now.

I'm curious if anyone has been quoted under the new healthcare and did they save money? A guy on FB, older gentleman said he saved quite a bit . I went on coveredca.com and trying to navigate to get a quote is frustrating so I'm not sure.

Just giving info on what's happening to us and not my opinion on the government involvement in health care, we got our letter last week, we're both healthy and our premiums went up, we have a individual policy for just Terri and I since we don't work anymore, plus the deductible went up and the really bad thing is we have to find some kind of other insurance as of December 2014 because thanks to what's going on ours won't be available anymore.........................just a bad deal, I was happy, now I'm not, pretty simple for me.

That really sucks. Well when you're hearing they can finance you that tells me it's going
To be expensive. Kaiser cancelled over 400,000 insurance policies already that is what I heard from an individual who has kaiser insurance. It's gong to get really ugly come 3/31/14.

I guess I've got to say at least one thing, I know it was a great thing to try and help people that can't get or afford health care, but it shouldn't be at the expense of all the rest of us, I'm not saying they shouldn't have done something, just not something that hurt everyone else, enough said, sorry hotboat, I'm done with this thread.

When Romney Care was implemented in Mass they had a year to be able to sign up. On average it took 18 visits to the web site to sign up. My insurance hasn't changed at all.

Mine is going up $100/pay period(26) plus deductible $1000 ind / $2000 fam, that I did not have to pay before. Co-pays went up too.

On the bright side there are mandatory free prostrate exams to see how much more money they cab dig out of my ass.

I love it!

Sure love the way they drilled in the fact, which is clearly stated on the Obamination website, that we can keep the insurance we have if we like it as an out and out lie by our leader.:thumbdown::mad:
Its becoming clearly evident that the people who buy their own health insurance and are not part of a group policy are the ones taking it in the ass big time.
Welcome to socialized medicine, best to start your estate planning earlier.
It so focking stupid to punish the working class and hand it to the 3rd generation welfarians.:(::mad: multiply that by a state that gives top notch care to those here illegally......grrrrrrr. I can't afford to work anymore.
