So, Streak; since this thread deals with Obamacare... Did you sign up? And if not, why? If so, why; and more to the point, what cost differences are you seeing?
Hookedonjeep you’re not alone. A friend of mine was one of the fortunate ones that was able to login to the website. Single Male, $500 a month, $5000 deductible,
no prescription coverage, pays for three doctors’ visits a year. Basically that is major medical coverage. Does nothing to help with normal everyday health care.
Democrats get on TV and preach about how millions of people will have health insurance. They act like they have done something really great by providing health insurance to millions of people. The only thing they have done is given millions a false sense of Hope. As people are starting to find out is does very little to pay for their Health Care. They are leading people to believe if they have Health Insurance they will have great Health Care. Having Health insurance doesn’t equal having great Health Care. They try to demonize the Republicans for wanting to repeal Obamacare. As more and more people are able to login to the website they will see who the real demons are.
A lot of people don’t understand Obamacare will affect all people whether they have insurance or not. Our insurance company
told us are rates will increase 30-100% over the next 12-24 months due to Obamacare. That is a drastic increase. On average it has gone
up around 10% per year. Who’s pocket will that come out of? Mine.
In the end millions of people were promised FREE HEALTH CARE to win an election.

I sent a letter to the Editor:
The Health Care Exchanges set up under the Affordable Care Act are open to all U.S. citizens; even those whose employers provide health insurance as a benefit. Those who have health insurance now are, presumably, healthier than those without. The Affordable Care Act relies on a significant number of relatively healthy individuals and families to enroll in the health exchanges in order to remain solvent. I understand the premiums charged will be affected by the amount that must be spent on health care; if less is spent, the premiums will be less. Thus, each relatively healthy, currently insured, person who joins an exchange will lower the premiums for the sicker and needier members.
Several times our President has said that if each of us who is doing well would pay just a little more, all of us would be better off. Logically, then, our President and all his supporters will be joining a health care exchange regardless of their employer-supplied benefit. Buying their insurance through the exchanges and spending just a few dollars more each year will lower the health care costs of all exchange participants.
I am certain the President and all of his supporters will join an exchange to help keep their fellow citizens’ health care premiums low. To fail to do so would indicate a hypocritical lack of concern for others and imply they are only willing to help the less fortunate by using other people’s money, never their own.
I encourage the President, the White House Staff, and all his supporters to join a health exchange as soon as possible in solidarity with all people receiving care under the Affordable Care Act. Be sure to ask every Obama supporter if they have signed up yet. This will allow them to proudly stand with the President in receiving and helping to supply to others quality, equitable healthcare at a fair cost to all.
