At $1k a month right now for a catastrophic policy that gives me diddle#^&#^&#^&#^&....next year we won't have insurance. It will now be more than my mortgage.
And Ma health isn't any cheaper! They consider $1k a month "AFFORDABLE"
Bullsh it.

maybe you can get a waiver...everyone else is 
February 03, 2011
773 Obamacare waivers...and counting
Ethel C. Fenig
In August, 2009, as he was extolling the virtues of his proposed Obamacare, President Barack Obama (D) famously promised "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan." And if you're a union member you certainly can; if you're not, well...
The Health and Human Services site Helping Americans Keep the Coverage They Have and Promoting Transparency (sic) conveniently lists the 773 waivers approved to date. Scroll through the list; notice that most of the waivers, more than 650 went to unions exempting well over 2 million employees. |

Whoops, looks like the CBO underestimated the cost of Obama Care
by $500 Billion. What else is new.  
In addition the NYT reported that most Pharma is cutting Research and Development because of the govt pushing generics, which do zero R+D, and
the many govt. regulations.
Pfizer is cutting 30% of it's R+D as a generic Lipitor will be available in November.
There goes the future miracle drugs that so many younger people were
looking forward to extending their quality of older life and the best medical
care in the world. |

If you don't believe it go on their site. Try to sign up and look for doctors. There isn't ANY outside of Boston.
NONE

They have them all over the state, you have to call Mass Health and THEY find you a doctor in your area but they have doctors all over the state that take it. |

Yes there are. Call your PCP and ask if they accept it. The website may not list all the doctors, but there are plenty in the suburbs and out in Western MA that accept it. My deadbeat sister on the South Shore has been on it for years and the only time she went into Boston was for a surgery. |

I know that the medical network my doctor is in accepts MAHealth - they are in Foxboro.
My Dentist accepts MAHealth - he's in Plainville.
I believe my eye doctor accepts it too. |

Oh trust me it took the better part of 5 hours to locate a pcp online that accepted Ma Health Comm Care.
What a website says and what a doctor actually ACCEPTS for insurance is night and day. I don't know why half those people are listed.

[QUOTE=Fly Rod;796543] If you have private insurance being offered by your employer it may be coming to an end with the higher premiums the employer or you may have to pay.
QUOTE]
Yup, I heard on the news that according to a recent Mcleary Poll 30% of companies polled will drop healthcare coverage in 2012.
Of course the CBO said that # is high, but we all know how accurate the CBO is.
Looks like the statement, " If you want to keep your current insurance you can" is being phased out. |

Patients to wait longer for care under new health law, think tank says | The Tennessean | tennessean.com
THEY MODELED THIS AFTER MASS. SAME BULLSHAT that happened in Mass. They added 300,000 newly insured to the rolls in Ma in the first year. Why didn't it result in a drop in rates...
"BlueCross: Health law will add nearly 700,000 to TN insurance rolls"
So ONE state adds more than double what we did and they're still saying higher rates. GTFOOH. A larger pool should cause lower rates for all...
"A year or two after the state exchanges are up and running, he sees smaller employers with fewer than 50 workers ending their insurance coverage, and letting employees seek policies on the exchanges instead."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!! Govt administered health care.
"The reform law narrows the advantage that younger people had over older people when it comes to costs of insurance policies, for instance, Coulter said. As a result, healthy young adults will pay more unless they’re poor and eligible for government help, he said."
GREAT so the people who don't use it as much will be penalized so that Joe Fat Cat banker can pay less....niiiiiiiiice.
Reform my azz this is nothing but a HUGE bone to all these health care companies  Stinks of cronyism and palm greasing to me once again. I said the same thing when Mass pulled this on us 4-5 years ago.

they're just figuring this out now???
Obama health-care law modeled on Romney plan - politics - Decision 2012 - msnbc.com
THE ROMNEY PLAN IS FLAWED. IT is his attempt at giving his cronies a serious chunk of change they never had before. Obamamotorscare was touted as derived from the mass. romney law.
A law which cost and continues to cost Mass residents hundreds of dollars a month and more. |
