Quote from denner:
You pay $500 per month just to get to that $6300 or higher deductable. In other words, you've got an expensive catastrophic policy. It's a shit deal.
Let's put this thing in perspective. I know that personally my insurance policy had huge price jumps from around 2009 onward. It wasn't just my age, as I read the same stories on here and amongst people I know. So basically, we had huge cost escalation in the years PRIOR to this law and now we are seeing HUGE price increases on top of those huge price increases.
And let's not forget that prior to 2009, alot of people found health insurance unaffordable. So this law does NOTHING to address those concerns and adds on sky high premiums and laughable deductables to boot...And that's just for starters; we haven't even addressed the nuts and bolts of the implementation of all of this.
You would have alot more credability if you would join some of your fellow liberals in calling this thing a boondoggle. It's nothing less than a sell-out to insurance cos. who are looking to pounce on the millions of victims forced into these exchanges and/or new policies with tons of people overpaying to subsidize the politically favored class.
