Obamacare sucks.
My wife saw her insurance increase to $220 a month from $69.
I saw my deductible go from $2000 to $6500 and my premiums go from $159 to $430.
We pay $9000 a year for our selves and a 7 year old.
2016's increases to $12,000 a year for the same policies.
The only one loving Obamacare are the losers that are basically getting a welfare policies through subsidies.
It's going down.
I am at least going to change over to the actual company to avoid the exchange next year.
United healthcare is among the worst insurance companies in the US in my opinion. I'd be far more concerned if it was....well...any other health insurance provide.
But hey, if its all unworkable, lets just go single payer, govt ran like every other developed country in the world.
It's a self-inflicted wound.
I could purchase a policy from UHC in my state, but they are not at all competitive price-wise compared to other providers.
As far as I'm concerned, they priced themselves out of the individual market.

I've had them through my company for the last decade if not longer.
I also have them for retirement.
I also have a grandfathered plan. One that works for me and has worked for me for years in spite of HHS thinking otherwise.
I've never had any issues with UnitedHealthCare. They paid on time and when I got duplicate bills they promptly took action on the doctors/hospital (son's broken arm 2 years ago).
I don't know why you think they are one of the worst. I've never had a bad experience with them.
In states like California, New York etc they already mandated that insurance companies cover everything under the sun. This is one of the primary drivers of insurance rates, Obamacare brought that to the entire nation.
Yep, and people don't understand this being a major cost driver for insurance costs pre-ACA.
It is basically a series of mandates, taxes and an exchange, so financing will not be a problem.
To get rid of this thing, we are going to have to win the presidency. Then we can destroy it via reconcilliation.
I just went through this scenario for 2016 signup, and something is wrong with this story. On the healthcare.gov website, it clearly states dental plans are only available for those choosing health plans. You cannot buy dental care only through the marketplace.
This is a quote from the website: "Important: You can buy a dental plan through the federal Marketplace only when you enroll in a health plan at the same time."

But look back..they did offer stand alone dental plans.
