it is so complex i have yet to figure out how it will affect me.
this is for sure. what would have been better than obama care would have been mama care, every unemployed kidult living free at home should have been required to provide in home care for that grandma, who is currently in the elderly home at @$3500 a month. there goes your medical deficit.
as to covering grandma's meds and grocery bill, u can fire pedro and maria who are keeping house and mowing the lawn and let junior do that too--- after all he is living there for free. there u have it balanced budget and full employment plus illegal immigration resolved.

Your inability to deal with facts, is causing you to believe that. And that fact is, average increase for health insurance premium for a family plan went up by 4% in 2012. To put that in perspective, it was 13% ten years earlier, and averaged over 9% from 1999 thru 2009. The question is, why do you prefer 9% increase over 4%?

Our corps' cost and the employees stayed flat last year, up under 10% cumulatively for the last 3 years.

All of a sudden, right wingers are waking up to the way insurance companies are soaking them.

But of course, it's Obama prodding those insurance CEOs and executive boards to gouge them.

If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until it is free.


It sucks having to now pay for substance abuse programs and fertility treatments or any other "condition" that I will never have.
