F**K everyone that voted for ocare

You think your rates going up is bad. Read this from Market-Ticker.org.
Imagine if your hours were cut by 25% so your company didn't have to offer you healthcare at all.
I hope this isn't real. People are hurting already and don't need a reduction in pay as well as overpriced healthcare.

"Several restaurants, hotels and retailers have started or are preparing to limit schedules of hourly workers to below 30 hours a week. That is the threshold at which large employers in 2014 would have to offer workers a minimum level of insurance or pay a penalty starting at $2,000 for each worker.

The shift is one of the first significant steps by employers to avoid requirements under the health-care law, and whether the trend continues hinges on Tuesday's election results. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has pledged to overturn the Affordable Care Act, although he would face obstacles doing so."

I know everyone like to bash us .gov workers but a couple of things on this. Our pay has been frozen since 2010. Of course we all know that nothing has gone up.......

I was used to seeing a $10-$20 per month increase per year until Obamacare was rolled out. One of the so called benefits is part of our health care premium is paid for. We can't afford to use it that much but we suffer right along with the rest of ya. My monthly part since 2009.

2009= $201
2010= $241
2011= $310
2012= $372
2013= $428

Many of the lower paid workers (and yes there are many making $10-13 per hour) have had to drop their coverage because they are still making the $11 per hour they were in 2010.

Probably because pretty much everyone on here works for a living. The people who this benefits I will go out on a limb here and say they aren't into collecting firearms or recreational shooting or hunting...more like "what else can you give me so I can stay home" type people...

I really hope Romney can turn this thing around and get it reversed and the health care companies/insurance providers to reel this in to realistic levels.

PPACA was a disaster that was obvious to anyone who looked at the details. Which didn't include Obama because he actually spent time "campaigning" for its passage contradicting what was actually in the legislation.

this is true. My buddy worked security and they cut his hours so they didn't have to provide health insurance. albiet it was already crap at best and he was only scheduled to 32 hours a week anyways. they were NEVER allowed to get overtime. 40 hours a week max.
He left and is now much happier as an electrician.

Wall Street Journal said the same thing.

The sheeple are about to find out how "affordable" their health care can be.

They rolled out a "new" plan where I work last month, my premiums would increase to $1050/mo for wife and myself. That's for an 80/20 w/ $2500 ded. I refuse to pay over $12K/yr for health insurance, looking elsewhere.

That's nothing. The company I work for is not small by any means, and they are trying to raise our premiums on average 350%. Yes, 350%.

Insurance companies have been screwing people since the dawn of mankind. Obamacare has nothing to do with it.

I have an HDHP through work which actually works out very well. $0 annual premium, $3000 deductable and $5000 out-of-pocket maximum. Everything gets covered at 80/90% once we have spent the $3000, and it includes prescription costs.

Mine went from under $4400 per year before the Big "O" took office to over $11,500 this year. My company rolls the new plan every July. This year we decided to just drop to a lower plan. Had my fill of "O"-Care. Hope it all ends starting tomorrow!
