I have been purchasing independent health insurance for the better part of twenty four years. The price of my current health insurance with my currently well known carrier is $235.00 a month. In order to keep roughly the same policy it will be going up to $450.34 a month starting in January. I would be […]
I am self-employed and do not have coverage through an employer. I haven’t read through all the details yet but the health care coverage I could afford (higher out-of-pocket) is no longer available. I am now forced to take a “better” plan with a lower out-of-pocket but a higher price tag that apparently someone else […]
I am the benefits administrator for the small business I work for. Our premiums increased by 25% this year. We are a low risk group and generally see increases between 5-10% annually. I was informed by our insurance provider, they can no longer take risk into consideration when calculating premiums (part of the new law). […]
Thanks to Obamacare, my wife’s monthly premium went up 42%. The Affordable Care Act is anything but. With no change in my wife’s health and only an increase in age of six months, my wife’s premium skyrocketed from $244.50 per month to $347.00. It’s time for the President to be honest with the American People […]
In 2013, I paid $3,600 for a BC/BS policy that cost a total of $17,600 for my family of four. My employer paid $14,000, or about 80% of the annual premium. Next year, my plan with BC/BS will cost me $6,100, and my employer will pay $24,400 (assuming the company still covers 80% of the […]
Under the new health care mandate – the insurance company, following the law, has double my premiums as well as my out of pocket maximum. I have less options – just the listed bronze, silver and gold plans. I also – if I go through MNsure have less of a network of places I can […]
I’m retired, but still 10 years away from being Medicare eligible, so I pay for my own health insurance from the only income I have, which is my pension. The day before the Obamacare launch, I received a letter from my current health insurance company telling me that my current plan was being eliminated. The […]
It is is more expensive that employer offer because of this those who worked and are looking for an alternative, this is not a choice. Even for those who have unemployment benefits, it is not a choice
I am both an Insurance adviser as well as an insurance consumer. As an adviser, I work for my clients…NOT the insurance companies. This is very conflicting as from a purely selfish standpoint, I stand to benefit with this Forced enrollment and tax payer handouts. (I still get paid on every one of these policies) […]
The prescription I need each month will cost me $150 instead of $50.
I called BCBS of MN on 10/9/13 to ask why the premium for my grandfathered in plan (which is not subject to many of the regulations of Obamacare) went up. I was told by Keng that Obamacare does not allow them to assess risk and determine premiums based on their entire pool of insureds. They […]
BCBS said they would no longer provide health care for my children under my current policy and raised my rates for my wife and I.
Was not affordable before, certainly not now.
I no longer believe we live I a free country.
I am employed by a small company with about 50 employees. We were told by our HR department that our premiums were going to increase immediately specifically because of the new coverage of the pill, contraception, the morning after pill, and such. I consider myself an orthodox Catholic and I am sickened that I am […]
Last week we received a letter from our insurance company informing us that our insurance will be cancelled at the end of 2013. Obama is a complete liar. America is now a third world nation. I am looking for an attorney to represent all of the people across this land who have lost their insurance […]
