I pay about $500 a year, and pocketed the $19,000 savings that the average premium cost, yeah.. I'm jealous you got your $100.. You figured it out..
Give it a break.. Why are you guys hijacking the thread into something so dumb? Obama said premiums would fall 3000%, and not only did they not fall, they climbed about 10%, while idiots celebrate their .5% rebate
check.. yeah.. I'm jealous..
Really, what part of my postings display anger? The fact that I'm laughing my ass off at people who cant understand basic math? Sorry, that doesn't make me angry, its actually pretty pathetic..
Ok well maybe the part where you attacked me for receiving a rebate check when you didn't lol And yes you are angry
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, health care premiums for the average family cost $15,745 in 2012
So its $15,745 not $19,500.. so I guess I'm upset because I only pay $15K less than the average family.. Do you understand the flaw in that argument yet?
That's who gets a check, not how much is reimbursed.
Do you really think a family of 4 will get the same rebate as a family of 1 who pays less in insurance premiums?
The rebate is based on how much your insurance company actually spends on services. If they spend less than 80% on premiums, then you get a refund that makes up that difference. If you're with a company that spends more than 80% on services, you get nothing. If you're with someone that spends way less than 80%, you'll get a bigger refund than someone with a company that comes closer to 80%. If your employer pays part of your premium, then the refund will be prorated between you and your employer. The cost of the insurance itself is only one factor out of many.

The rebate TOTAL (i.e. how much the company is sending EVERYONE) is based upon how much the insurance company spends on services, but that's not whats being discussed, the discussion is how much of that TOTAL the insurance company is reimbursing is YOUR share...

Yeah, you overstated almost $4000. Actually, over $4000 with the $20000 figure.

I haven't had that type of insurance in 13 years.. So I guess according to you, I should be very upset I saved about $150,000 +..
Lets do the math now shall we? I've got catastrophic insurance which kicks in at $100K, I've got the $150K in savings that I didn't spend on insurance over the 13 years, I've got investment income, from that $150K I invested and didn't spend, and you guys have $100 rebate.
I'm sorry but that is so stupid and controlling. At least you admit you attacked me for no legit reason
You don't think its legit to expect people to read a question until it hits the question mark?
Tell me on the above question I just posted, where did you stop reading?
