My insurance premium just went from $680 to $107. Thanks, Obama.

[Comrade Grumpy]

I just signed up in California.

Pretty much the same plan, with a big subsidy.

I would still prefer a system where we paid for health care out of our taxes and everyone was just covered and all the profit-seeking parasites would just wither away, but this is going to make my life a whole lot easier.

Is it sustainable, especially if not enough young people come onboard (see paragraph above)? I dunno, but in the meantime, that's about $600 that is staying in my pocket and not going to the insurance company.

2. When I Read Your Title - My Insurance Premium Went Down - Thanks, Obama.....

I thought it sounded like a great tag line for a TV ad campaign for signing up for ACA/Obamacare.

Just think of it - 30 seconds or 1 minute of people from all over the country -all ages, all races, male and female - looking into the camera and saying - "My Health Insurance Premium Went Down - Thanks Obama"

It would seem like a great way to motivate others that are sitting on the fence to sign up - and I think it would go a ways to increase the President's popularity as well. I think his poll numbers would go up.

6. I like it! Something needs to be done to counter all the negative crap from MSM.

[AAO]

8. I think you should say "thanks, Obamacare!"

That way the right can't say anything because they coined the term. And they can't say Obama is trying to make it all about himself.

The best part - they still have to hear "thanks, OBAMA(care)!!"

3. This is why Repubes and Insurers hate the ACA.

"that's about $600 that is staying in my pocket and not going to the insurance company."

That, friends, is why the ACA does not suck. Good for you, CG!

4. Actually the $600 is going to the insurace company, it is being paid the subsidy you

received, so it is in the same position as before. The subsidy is being paid by the government.

It is also true that the $600 is straying in your pocket so good for you!

5. The headline in our three Rethug papers today "Healthcare Sticker Shock ahead! Never saw

a positive story in the MSM yet.

[Comrade Grumpy]

12. This is the kind of sticker shock I can live with.

7. I just signed up this morning.

And am wondering why anyone would not be less than ecstatic after going through the process. If you're making a lot of money, this is a much better investment. If you were to get sick under your old plan, you would likely not only lose everything you've worked for, but you would be tens of thousands of dollars in debt if you were lucky. It might take a little longer, but Americans are going to finally "get it" when it comes to healthcare. This thing is going to grow exponentially, I guarantee it!

9. I went from $650 to $338 per month

for a much better policy, no deductibles, no co pay, $2,000 max for major,
hearing, vision, & 1/2 for dental. Big name company too.

10. I just figured out I'm eligible for Medicaid.

Going through Colorado's site, since I'm an impoverished college student, living on student loans while I finish my Master's, looks like that means I no longer have to pay $220/mo for the university's health insurance - now I'm on Medicaid.

Hey, I'll take it! Even if it turns out I'm not eligible, the Bronze plans on the exchange are cheaper!

Thanks Obama!

11. My car insurance just went from

510 to 828 per year!

I guess they will get their pound of flesh one way or another. And yes I'm dropping those suckers! Bloodsuckers.
