Health Insurance costs are skyrocketing for me and my wife. My company no longer allows her to be on my insurance because her company offers a plan. Her company does not allow me on hers since my company offers a plan. This is all new. Now we have 2 deductibles to hit (so much for family coverage plans). The price we are paying for Health Care is insane. Both of our companies blame the rising cost of insurance and point the finger to the insurance companies. Why is it rising??? I’m not sure (coincidence to Obama care? Who knows but I tend to think so) It does piss me off that others get free Health Care when I have to pay through the nose for coverage and knowing my taxes are going to pay for their health care. The reality is the rising costs are REAL and hitting SOME folks hard…………..
Handouts are killing this country, when are we going to wake up?

How much did your HC costs rise during Bush? I know ours have gone up pretty steady since before Jan 2009...... |

Why does that matter? Obama did not claim that his law was going to "cause costs to rise, but by a smaller amount than they increased under Bush".
Obama said Obamacare would lower costs. Decrease. Not "increase at a lower rate per annum."
You can't insure more people, and increase coverage (like free birth control) for less money. Not possible. |

Health insurance companies must have known 10 years ago that Obama was going to quit his job as an organizer of the black panthers, lie about his birth, and do voodoo on his opponents en route to the white house. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Interested to see the chart from 2009 -2012.
Why over the last 2 years has my employer and my wife’s employer changed the coverage so that a working spouse cannot be covered under the others plan?? That little change now causes our family to have 2 separate deductibles and a much high overall health care cost. One for me and one for my wife. We ended up putting the kids on my plan.
A chart and graph can be spun anyway the maker wants, all I know is over the past 2 years my families total overall healthcare cost has increased exponentially. |

B/C the companies know that you (and your wife) have the opportunity to get your respective coverage through their own employeer and feel that they shouldn't have to pay the family rate when the single rate is cheaper.
Companies frequently give you $ if you get coverage through a spouse's employment.
Good for the company, sucks for you. |
