As an example the year before the AHCA that same policy was $8k total.

Don't worry Hondo and Hondo Jr (dhdawg) will remind you it's the republicans fault.Mosster47 said:So I did my taxes today. My health insurance premiums were over $16k this year. My employer paid $10k, the rest was on me. I also paid $1,200 out of pocket.

Is 16K a year enough to cover a flu vaccination and a trip to the doctor for a runny nose?

Your employer should shop it's medical insurance. Ours has gone up about 10% total since 12. We did switch carriers in 2014 and threatened to do so again this year.Mosster47 said:So I did my taxes today. My health insurance premiums were over $16k this year.

No. It's his fault implementing it. It's a right wing plan. With that said it insured 20 million more people than the republican plan of do nothingCuntWaffle said:

You have the wrong job if you work for the federal government and are on the hook for over $800 month.Mosster47 said:

While Obamacare hasn't been successful at controlling health care costs, it has slowed the growth.
Under Bush, the average family premiums (including both what employers and employees pay) went up $4,677 in his last six years in office, from 2002 to 2008, an increase of 58 percent. That $4,154 growth under Obama is a 33 percent increase. If we look at Bush’s first six years, the discrepancy gets even bigger: From 2000, the year before Bush was first inaugurated, to 2006, the average family premium went up $5,042, or an increase of 78 percent. (See Exhibit 1.11 on page 31 of the KFF report for these numbers.)

Yeah but the poor are getting GREAT free healthcare that doesn't even provide them with doctor's visits.

What FS liberals are conveniently leaving out is that 3 years ago there weren't piles of dead bodies on the side of the road from all the uninsured and low income. Why? Hospitals would never turn anyone away in the first place. Fucking illegal aliens for years have been getting free healthcare.
Most hospitals have it written into their bylaws that around 1/5 of procedures/care will be pro bono, usually supported by local churches and non-profits.
So not only have premiums soared beyond belief, but the net public welfare isn't really much higher anyway. The bill is basically a fascist bill that was partially written by and signed off on by major insurance companies. Forcing every fucking citizen to buy a specific product they don't want is straight up gangster tactics. And of course insurance company profits are through the damn roof. All I know is this plan favors mega corporations, fucks over small businesses and forces millions of people to buy a commodity they do not want/need...and it sucks major balls. Simply allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines would significantly drive down the cost just by creating competition. That'd be a decent start.
