Isn't that what people wanted? Lower premiums, higher deductibles? Be careful what you wish for.
Higher deductibles was a surprise to many. That was not part of the big town hall campaigns.
They only focused on the lower premiums which were subsidized.
My grandfathered high deductible has a lower deductible than Obamacare policies.
We should do what Switzerland has done and mandate that 1) everyone carry insurance and 2) (this is the really good part) that all insurance companies be NON PROFIT.
Anti-trust legislation may halt something like that. There are and have been non-profit insurance companies that out performed for-profits. Years ago those businesses were taken to court and forced to compete, set prices in line with for-profits. BCBS was one of those companies.
My daughter had a wonderful policy before Obamacare Sux did away with her wonderful policy and forced an unaffordable policy on her and her husband which effectively makes them avoid health care they've had all of their lives prior to Obamacare Sux. Her husband almost died due to refusal to go to the hospital to avoid the $6700 deductible...Obamacare Sux has been devastatingly horrible to everyone in my family.
It is just another form of federal income based tax.
They give so much away, they need more to give to other nations to buy their friendship, and by votes to stay in power. They ran out of other peoples money. They figured out a way to get what is left over.
Yes indeed.
these days my wife and I go to the doctor only when we have no choice and it better be very serious.
Sad part is we were never ones to run to the doctor and every sniffle or flu.
Not really. They are only junk because Obama outlawed them.
Millions of people today have "junk" policies that are blessed by Obama. You pay thousands of dollars per year in premiums and never get a dime back unless you have a catastrophy. That's exactly the same as the old "junk" policies.
"Catastrophic" plans are not the same as "Junk" plans.
"Junk" plans are the ones that wouldn't even cover your catastrophes.
