Pretty sure Obama has about a 12% chance of getting re-elected now

[Antitrust32]

Once people get details of their 2011 Insurance Plans from their employers.

Absolutely fucl<ing terrible.

I thought my insurance was bad this year.

They went from giving us 3 options to only 1 option this year.

They elimintated the plans that actually covered shi.t because of a fucl<ing Cadillac Tax (believe me.. these "top shelf" programs are no cadillac's.. maybe a fucl<ing Kia at best)

doubled the deductable.

doubled the out of pocket maximum.

If you have a spouse / child? forgettaboutit

Its basically a plan that will be beneficial to no one except for maybe 2% of the employees in this company made up of 8,000.

Thank you Mr. Fucl<ing President. & GFY congress.

I'd be really surprised if United Healthcare is the only insurance company out there bending the working public over like this.

And good luck to any responsible working folks out there who ever plan on starting a family!

Uncly..did you really think when the legislature actually passed a national health insurance reform law...that it would really benefit the masses?



I know you are not that naive.

oh I knew it was going to make the health care industry in this country much worse.

I may have been naive in hoping we werent going to get fucl<ed this soon.

Obama was right when he said he'd give up being re-elected to pass the "major reform".

[Antitrust32]

and I still think the worst part of the law is that it will discourage the young bright minds from entering the health professions.

So we will all be covered, but everyone will be paying for anything anyway because of deductables.. but the quality of the actual care will be **** like the rest of these "progressive" countries.

This will serve the fed. gov. very well in the coming years.

There's no reason for health care companies to raise their premiums. They're only doing it because they don't want to lose the gigantic profits they were already making. They can still profit (even if slightly less) without changing anything.

I don't agree with everything Obama does, especially regarding immigration, but I sure will never vote for a fear mongering, racist, discriminatory Republican.

what did my thread have to do with Bush?

Just because Republicans absolutely suck its okay for Democrats to suck just as bad and probably worse?

okay i get it!

they didnt really raise the actual premiums too high. they just eliminated the opportunity to be able to purchase an actual real plan. everyone is stuck with the same shi.t hole plan.

But its good to see the fear mongers being brought up!

Do you have an HRA and an FSA/HSA?

had a HRA.. they will not offer an HRA plan this year. Only one HSA plan with a 2400 deductable (for 1 individual.. families are screwed). and a very high out of pocket max. & their match for the FSA is crap.

Most presidents get reelected. People, like many on this board, have trouble admitting they made a mistake.

[clyde]

I don't.

I voted for Bush twice...but am not so sure he was the worst choice.

[Antitrust32]

Dems are really screwed in November if the insurance companies get this info out to the workforce before elections.

shoot the crazy lady in deleware may have a real shot.

it sucks the alternative has to be crazy religious people who think they are holier than thou.

Where are the damn libertarians at??

Trust I didn't make a mistake on who I voted for. Problem was that the person I voted for didn't get the majority.

Have you ever seen the movie Groundhog Day?

Ask your company if they are spending less on health insurance for employees this year, or not.
