Implying that the two trillion dollars spent on Iraq thus far killing brown people and blowing up their things wasn't a wise use of money and manpower is unAmerican and is a slight against our troops.

Why do you hate veterans so much?

Our taxes could go to health care instead of the military-industrial complex and then maybe we'd have an effective health care system.
Yea cause we all know the key to running a successful government program is to just keep throwing money at it till it works............kinda

No response to the pictures of people learning about rebates Merlin or has Fox News and Rush Limbaugh not properly prepared your ignorant fucking hillbilly brain to cope with that?

their rebates are paid by others. if you think insurance companies are net losing money over obamacare that's silly

for every rebate letter, you can find a person who is getting a higher rate.

some costs will go up some go down, what's the net change?

The big thing here is the prescription prices, as I outlined. That is probably a savings of around $1500-2000/year all by itself. Also there is one or two things on there that are now fortunately covered that weren't before that can be important as well.

edit: My premium is going from $600/month to $350/month, so all told Obamacare is saving me... in the area of $4500/year?

The horror.

Red box text is out of alignment.. clearly photoshopped to make Obama look better.

It's gonna save him money? But I thought Obamacare was going to raise costs for everyone?

I find it odd that I got this letter and no one else did. Maybe a Rhode Island thing?

Now, something to keep in mind here. I did not switch insurance. This is the same insurance I've been on about a year now. They are just lowering rates to keep me as a customer and stay competitive with the new exchanges coming out.

So not only has Obamacare saved my thousands, I didn't even have to change insurance plans or companies to get it.

My bcbs rates are expected to go up by 4%, but since I didn't participate in our Humana vitality program I have to pay an extra 6% on top of that. Fuckin' Obama.

Since it has been proven without a shadow of a doubt that Obummercare is lowering the cost of healthcare for many Americans, I propose that merlin be sent straight to the RRP the next time his dumbass brings up the talking point that the ACA raises costs for everyone.

He asked for proof, he got it back in spades.

Wait a minute. Unless I am missing something, your simply implying your new plans are due to Obamacare, because no where on there is the ACA mentioned. I'm looking at it, and it is showing your new plans available, compared to last years plan right? And unless I'm missing it, its not showing your cost per month either.

I don't see that. But maybe I'm just missing it. Its not stating your monthly premium due.

Anyway, my point was we got a letter from the hospital where my wife works informing us, due to Obamacare, it was costing the hospital $600,000 more a year, so now we have do all these gay surveys and health checkups or they buttfuck us with higher premiums. Only now my wife says she threw it away so I look like a dickhead.........oh well.
