F**K everyone that voted for ocare

The small biz that I work for just said our new premiums go up 13.5% for HC because of that garbage legislation. I'm so frigg'n pissed off i'm looking a new job. Who else has the same problem? This hits me hard as it impacts my bad habit of buying and shooting. No more big pheasant hunts because of this...

Only 13.5%?! Hell, sounds like you made out better than most with Obamacare.

[ChunkyMonkey]

Sorry to hear that. As discussed before, the Obama care is designed to hit people's pocket book after the election. Only few have gotten their premium increase notice. 14% is almost 3x the typical inflation year.

14% is almost 3x the typical inflation year.

and about double the standard rate of health care inflation if I remember numbers correctly.

Hell dude 12% - 18% was normal before ocare. Now wait and see what it does... We are getting a sh!tty high deductible/health savings plan next year where you have to shell out $3000 before they start kicking in.

My HC actually got better in my opinion... Still a $2500 deductible before 80/20, BUT preventative care is covered 100%. My wife and I are expecting our 2nd one in Feb so that helps us out ALOT. The first year we had our son, we paid over 8k in premiums and HC costs.

I was on a personal plan. As a relatively young, and healthy male, my premiums got bumped 50% right away. Almost entirely because they weren't allowed to bias premiums based on sex. So, I was paying a premium based on the risk that someone my age would get pregnant.
As a guy, I was paying more because I might get pregnant.
Nice.

I own my own business, I just got hit with about a 15% increase in premiums.

Are your parents at least excited to maybe be grandparents?

I've seriously thought about dumping my work owned health care and just not having any and pocketing the cash for emergency services... then I realized that would be idiotic with my health problems.. guess I'll HAVE to bend over.. not happy. Mine is also raising above 15%.
