mammograms is on that list. I thought to post this because there are many that do not realize this. This IS news to many out there.

They really can't see what we are trying to tell them about the attempts to run the insurance companies out. They can't see that that is a back door route to socialized medicine. Maybe they will see that once they manage to re-elect the Head Dictator and he starts doing what he will surely do when he doesn't have to worry about another term.

Same with most of his friends; they are on their parent's plan. Obamacare lets "kids" be dependents until they are 26.
Well, take him off. Make him buy his own insurance. He's insured isn't he? Someone, perhaps your employer, is paying a premium for him.

Wait for a few more Presidential mandates to insurance companies and the withdrawal of the insurance people. Then it will all be free, at least to the 49.5% who get it without paying any income taxes. Open those eyes and look at what is coming.

There is no such thing as "free". EVERYTHING has a price

The left has been conditioned by their handlers that government healthcare is the only answer no matter what. Many aren't smart enough to understand what is really going on. Free healthcare is a main plank in their liberal utiopian world. Sadly like everything else they don't understand that nothing is free. Somebody has to pay for it. How has our country become so stupid so fast??

You think 700 bucks from a few million healthy people who didn't sign up for insurance before because they didin't want to will somehow make this pool able to cover everybody?? LOL.

I'll take insurance for $50 Alex.

Q-What swooner thinks paying $50 a month by healthy young folks who didn't pay anything before the healthcare bill was forced down the throats of US taxpayers will fix everything???
All of them think just as you say about what this will cost, in the end.

I'm paying the premium under a family plan.
And why should I take him off ? He can't afford insurance with the money he makes.

My premium has gone up 20% for the past 2 years.
The first time it was specifically because of this change to dependents (early obamacare kick in). United Healthcare sent a letter to that effect..they had to expand the pool of money due to expanded coverage.

The second year I got no letter. But I can see now that the "no copay" services have to be paid.

You are correct and that is kind of sad. And they vote too.

These are the services we get in exchange for our premiums we pay that may otherwise never benefit us if we don't get sick or in an accident. It also PREVENTS problems that cost insurance companies much more. It wasn't Obama that discovered that btw. Preventative health care has been in vogue for quite some time...
