Health insurance is more expensive than housing cost

How's Obamacare working for you? You know your increases, my increases, and others are to support Obamacare, right? Let's not even get into the Exchanges themselves... high deductibles and premium if you are not dirt poor and even if you are, the deductibles will kill you.

LMAO

Obamacare is ridiculous

I work for a large international multi-billion dollar company and my premiums with employer subsidy is $800 a month and includes a deductible plus $20 office copay visit.

So no competition doesn't lower your premiums. Even ACA is cheaper.

Surprising.

I don't think you even know what obamacare is.  You're just repeating what FUX news tells you.

most republicans don't understand basic math, how you expect them to understand health insurance.

Most Democrats don't understand basic democratic elections. How can we take anything they say seriously? 

Remember that it's YOUR people taking to the streets like the thugs that you are.

Basic economics is lacking here.

Offended? Want an extra dollar for your skyrocketing premiums?  Some of you people have no idea and can't process information on your own.

 Also just to clarify $800 a month is the total with both employer and employee contribution, not what I pay out of my paycheck. I'm trying to make it an apples to apples comparison with ACA.

Cool beans. But still, $800.00, that's insane. Deductible?

I guess I shouldn't be complaining about my paltry $375.00 (myself+employer contribution) a month.

$300 deductible . Max out of pocket is like $2000-ish. But the ACA platinum is zero. My employer has multi-state so I'm guessing that adds to cost.

$375 a month. That's good. 10 years back my first job it was $300 a month. I guess CA is an expensive market.

Could be. You would naturally assume competition would drive prices down as mentioned before. And CA's market is by far larger than MN's.

That's the theory but after working in corporate finance for 17 years it's never decreased. Each year the underwriters come back with new contracts. It's either increased or stayed flat with benefit reductions or worst...someti mes both.

People want to make it sound like healthcare is comprable to selling goods and simple services however given the complications of regulation by state, health of the population, rising cost, etc...it's not as simple.

Or maybe it's just the Russians when you lose.
