"Here’s a peek into the window of the internal operations of our humble shop:
Our full-time employees range in age from about 25 to 60 — the median age is 37.
All of us are married, and some of our families include children (as in younger than 26 years of age). We’re all of reasonable health and don’t unduly burden the health care system with claims.
Our plan is a high-deductible HSA, and it doesn’t include eye or dental insurance.
One would reason, therefore, that our premiums would be low.
And one would be dead wrong.
That used to be true, but that was before ObamaCare.
For last several years, our premiums have gone up by double digits annually, and this year’s 33% increase is among the highest so far.
On top of that, our deductibles also rose last year.
Since the “Affordable” Care Act came along, we now pay nearly four times as much — for less coverage.
Another note: Our plan doesn’t actually qualify under ObamaCare’s requirements, but it’s “grandmothered” for the time being.
Changing anything will only make either the price go up or the coverage go down — or both.It would be one thing if our experience were an outlier, but it’s not; it’s the norm.
Health insurance premiums around the country are going up by double-digit percentages every year, and some by 50% or more.
What ever happened to “bending the cost curve down” as Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats regularly promised?
“We’ll lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year,” he guaranteed.
Reality is just the opposite.
How is that in any way “affordable”?
Or how about being able to keep one’s doctor or one’s plan?
While millions of patients have been told to look for other doctors, millions of insurance plans have been canceled in recent years.
Indeed, a large portion of the people signing up for coverage under ObamaCare had coverage they liked but lost.
This is all just part of the ObamaCare web of lies..."
