Me too! Insurance still valid, co-pay still the same, doctor still there. I think she's lost a little weight, though. Could that be a result of Obamacare?

You honestly thought the whole system would collapse day one? For me, I am really nervous about my first paycheck in January. I can't take many more taxes, but I hear ACA means new income taxes on the middle class.

Well, since we've been told by the usual hysterics that the world would come to an end last year when other provisions went into effect, it seems that we've already allowed them plenty of slack.

My premium and co-pays are both going up. Our company sent us a letter stating Obamacare is the cause. Also our company is no longer offering the luxury plan. Thousands of people aren't able to keep their plan right there.

Oh, my premiums are going up. Just like they did last year, and the year before that. Insurance companies can say anything they want, but usually they don't even bother explaining. They just do it because they can, and you know it.

Yep. My individual health insurance--which I bought without the benefit of a group rate--went up every six months like clockwork even though I never made a claim. It's what finally priced me out of the market for over a decade. It's the way insurance companies have always operated. Yet, amazingly, I never heard anyone on the right complaining about it until the ACA.

Yes, the sun is still shining and I plan to have a good day, but both of those things have little to do with the fact that our family can no longer afford health insurance.
