Some won't see this until February, for whatever reason. Not that it will matter to the OP, there's always plenty to whine about.

True but Obamacare has caused everyones rates to go up not just those purchased on the exchange. I'm self employed and mine skyrocketed as soon as this TAX went into effect. So theoretically it is caused by O-care!

What up?

I didn't really have a chance to review it with a magnifying glass or anything ~ but it appears my health coverage went UP.

Thanks Trump!
Thank Obama, not Trump about your increasing health insurance premium.

OP: You are NOT one of Trump's chosen few. I got $6 more a month in SS payment but not due to Trump.

Are you not aware that Obamacare mandated required services for all types of health insurance ?
That alone drove up premiums for everyone.

Where is this big raise I'm supposed to get?

To the OP : If you look at your pay check stub real close, you'll see a deduction taken by the democrat party to help finance hillary and bernie's campaign in 2020. I'm sure you won't mind contributing to such a worthy cause. You'll be helping to 'Save America' !!

Stop expecting things to just magically improve. YOU have to go above and beyond what the crowd is doing to differentiate yourself.

The winners are winning bigly. Stocks are going UP... more than 25% since president Trump took office (not that he can take the credit).

Sure I have investments and I have exactly ZERO intention of taking a second job; because I make a good income. Worried about a crash but that's a whole nuther story.


But I DID see threads and post after post about how everyone's paycheck is going up from ? Tax cuts?


I didn't see it. Just sayin. Keep ya posted.

Nope. I have that employer provided healthcare. That thing you get when you have a good job.

Case closed.
He promised the middle class a raise. I hear it every day on a commercial no doubt paid for by the Koch Bros about how the 'middle class tax cut' is benefitting everyday families!


I'm middle class but I don't see any benefit. Trump promised - where is it?


So far - nada.

Well, then, I suggest you hold on to the seat of your pants, because insurance is projected to raise their rates an average 30% the next cycle.

Just got my new two week paycheck. Got a whopping $22 more . Not sure how these people crowing about HUGE increases are doing it, I make pretty good money, but that was my net increase.


Might splurge on a Big Mac.
