So, what's in your wallet? Besides 0bamacare? And for how much extra this year?
Like a lot of folks out there, seems it's time for the company insurance 'sign-up' time again. Surprise! Costs out of pocket are going up! My insurance 'contribution' will go up an additional $140 / month on Jan 1 making it $286 monthly. How's yours doing? My company's monthly tab on their side of this deal is now up to $915 monthly to cover only me and the wife. Any idea what where you work insurance contribution for you working there costs them?
Do you libs out there now have a clue how 0bamacare is costing jobs? My company's expense to cover their contribution to my 'mandatory' "free healthcare" is an additional 25% of my salary. That means, for you economically challenged libs, that for every 4 people (with my exact insurance needs) the company is paying out the cost of one more persons annual salary to cover their side of us 4 working there.
Yo, Tony. You don't seem to think 0bamacare is NOT going to have BUDGETS and board members (remember those 'death panels' someone mentioned??) that will determine who gets treatments? Sad case for the kid in your link, but that's just a preview of ALL government health care . All other countries with socialized medicne do exactly that, when the cost of the medical 'fix' outweighs the potential 'benefit' to society by treating this individual, 'go home and take a pill'. http://iusbvision.wordpress.com/2009/06/26/obama-o...

My insurance did not go up that much, maybe 15%, which is to be expected.
You also have to consider that insurance companies have been boosting rates annually for decades without any accountability. In fact, rates have gone up 300% in the last 30 years. You can't blame that on Obama.
Companies have been passing on costs to employees for at least the past 20 years. You can't blame that on Obama.
The fact is, medical costs have been skyrocking for a long time. Compared to other industrialized nations, Americans pay three times as much on medical costs. You can't blame that on Obama. He tried to fix the problem.
Here is a glimpse of the future GOP medical plan:

Liberals don't realize that there are consequences to their actions. If they did they wouldn't be liberals.
