Re: The PPACA Implementation Phase II - Love it or Lose it!
I'll play... if rates had increased by the 3-4% you mentioned, my share of the annual premuim would have gone up by about $122... instead it has gone up appx 16%. Everything is the same. The only thing "better" about it is the lower deductable (which my family has never come close to approaching). We have had a few extra trips to the Doctor and ER over the years (beyond routine visits/checkups etc) but we have not ever come close to the $6000 (now $5000) deductable. Over the years our rates did increase by minimal ammounts. However the plan worked well for us and we liked it a lot. In fact we deliberately picked the plan with the higher deductable because of it's lower cost and I am prepared to pay the full $6000 out of pocket if something major were to happen.
As I said below, the extra $40 per month is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things... but it illustrates the point that plans are being canceled because of Obamacare.
Do you acknowledge that Obama was being untruthful when he said many times that "If you like your plan you can keep it"?
