Even More Obamacare Follies

[hog88]

If it's something totally ridiculous I'll go without and just keep my wife and daughter on hers, which isn't going to change much.

Depends on age, our under 30 with young kids were not hit so hard. 40+ with teenagers or early 20s dependents, WOW!

Our Benefits Director is coming into town the middle of November to discuss coverage options. I'm doubting she has any great news.

It never is. I remember a $10 copay at most for anything. It gets worse every year & now it's gonna be worse than it was.

What's the tax...err fee for not having coverage this year?

Actually, I think he got his new spectacles and finally able to read it.

I never realized Granny is as beautiful as she is until I got these trifocals yesterday.

For free?

Yeah, I shoplifted them.

They weren't covered on your ObamaCare plan?

I don't have an Obamacare plan but I will be on a Medicare plan shortly. Maybe it will pay for my next pair.

I get mine at the dollar store. I can't stop breaking them so I'm cheaper than copay this way

So you only need reading classes, you are lucky.

I have had to wear glasses for 50+ years. I tried contacts several years ago, hated them.

Walmart is cutting HC for 30K workers, but no worries that's a "good thing"

Tens of thousands of Walmart workers are about to lose their health insurance ? and it's good news! - Vox

This is not a defect it functions as designed.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

I have not been told by anyone that Obama Care is a good thing. People who have checked the prices for policies for the various plans say they are very high.

I guess if you are someone who doesn't want to work, or you are an Illegal Alien and your insurance plan is subsidized by the tax payers, it is a phenomenal deal.

Don't blame them.

We're doing our renewal now, one of my salesmen is 51 his wife is 50 and son is 20. His (we pay) premium went from $374 per month to $539. His family coverage (he pays) went from $840 per month to $1200. 2015 renewals are going to shed some serious light on this boondoggle.

4/15 will be a ball too.....

Obamacare website won't reveal insurance costs for 2015 until after election - Washington Times

Not surprised.

One of my workers just asked me why we haven't received our annual open enrollment forms this year. Hadn't really thought about it, but it is curious that we haven't. Need to look into this.

[theutvolunteers]

Got some decent news about our insurance. My wife would be able to carry both of us and our daughter for 103 per pay period with a 1000 deductible.

I pay 68 per for just myself right now. Don't have my new options yet, but it's looking like this will be the cheapest way.

If you get a refund you won't miss it

The key there is to pay taxes on April 15th. Getting a tax refund is stupid in the first place. Fix your W4s so that you have to pay a little in April rather than giving the DC morons an interest free loan. Then watch this abomination implode when payments go thru the floor.
