Best friend in high school had one of these. Even then I think we all knew it was a sad attempt but we all just rolled with it. Lol.

It has. I remember the days of FTE and then COBRA running out (post layoffs) and it being virtually impossible to get insurance. 5 years of med records to make a pre-existing exclusion list. And being female was also basically a pre-existing condition. 🤬

I wanted to change to a PPO next year but those were more expensive (this year $400-700 more a month). I’m afraid to see what PPO looks like for next year.

Info Security & Privacy. Contract…no employer provided insurance.

I have no subsidies.
🥲 33% increase in out of pocket...$6100 to $8100. Deductible..$0 to $5200. Somebody else do the math for that % increase.
Why is no one asking the insurance companies about these massive increases?

It’s coming from the back inside and I’m thinking it feels like something is trying to get out.

I usually, loudly, say "You're Welcome" 9 times out of 10 they realize they were rude and apologize and say thank you.

Dating myself…growing up as a kid in Cold War we had air raid drills, get under your desk, in the hallway lined up on the wall with your hands over your head. That was supposed to save us from nuclear & other war. I remember always feeling afraid, I feel that way now.

Exactly.

Jeez! I was paying COBRA prior to this time so maybe that greased me up that the ACA price wasn’t that bad.

Dont think they want to get rid of ACA..per se’ they want the biz, but want to get rid of being able to deny coverage for Pre-existing conditions. Big bucks savings for insurance. Been though that pre-ACA, female is pretty much a pre-existing condition, 5 years of med records for the application

Here in CA I’ve been working with an ACA insurance broker and there are ACA plans and ‘off-market’ straight plans. Given I don’t qualify for subsidies considered both options And prices were comparable.

I worked in health insurance IT Security/Privacy for some time for ‘The Evil Empire.’ They did a lot of good & did alot of shady. That said, I agree..greed. healthcare should not be for profit..period. I wonder if price hikes are some sort of leverage if ACA goes away. Just not sure what outcome
