I don't know of anyone whose rates decreased. I've heard plenty of horror stories though.

My sisters deductible is up to 3500 now for example. Calling this "Affordable" is about as Orwellian as the "Patriot" Act.

How much could the ACA cost you?	Rade	October 30, 2013 10:09AM
I wonder if I'll the hospital will still charge 65 for a tylenol like they did in 2006 to me.	Sam	November 01, 2013 07:42PM
Zevon said that not going to the doctor for 20 years "may have been a tactical mistake" don't forget. (n/t)	wrathpuppet	November 11, 2013 05:41PM
Here's the best part.. the hospital got that Tylenol for free	Rade	November 11, 2013 03:33PM
I sense a severe case of Obama ass-sniffing going on here. This sounds completely unrealistic compared to myself and everyone I know. Hell, I'll call it. You lie. (n/t)	Doof	October 31, 2013 03:57PM
I didn't vote for Obama and generally view the ACA as a big handout to insurance companies	Rade	November 07, 2013 04:54AM
Believe it or not, the affordable care act can possibly increase your insurance deductible or decrease it, depending on the person.	vortexmagus	October 31, 2013 11:36PM
Yup.	JimmyDean	November 01, 2013 04:10AM
For what it's worth...	Death_Claw	November 01, 2013 10:15AM

Yeah, I'm from NC too. (n/t)	Doof	November 01, 2013 02:27PM

I didn't know anyone whose rates decreased in the last 10+ years.. maybe ever so that's a meaningless comment	Rade	November 07, 2013 04:59AM
It's more affordable for people without insurance, which is the point.	vortexmagus	November 01, 2013 01:04PM
Decreased rates isn't sensational enough for media coverage. (n/t)	Matrik	November 01, 2013 07:33AM
My lord...	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 04:04AM
Doubtful	Rade	October 31, 2013 04:25AM
Considering I just spent a few hours this week...	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 04:38AM
Re: How much could the ACA cost you?	JimmyDean	October 31, 2013 03:14AM
The other problem I've seen...	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 04:16AM
Agreed...	JimmyDean	October 31, 2013 04:40AM
When I'm dead at 65 I'll be laughing at the shit you non-smokers have to deal with in Heaven.	Sam	November 01, 2013 07:37PM
Re: Agreed...	PaulO	October 31, 2013 04:53AM
And, with that magic wand...	JimmyDean	October 31, 2013 05:00AM
And while we're at it, let's pay teachers more	PaulO	October 31, 2013 07:05AM
Your pharmacist used to be able to give you a prescription	Rade	October 31, 2013 11:01AM
Protectionism in this country is only bad...	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 07:41AM
Painfully true. (n/t)	PaulO	October 31, 2013 09:19AM
I don't think it's even about generating wealth.	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 05:05AM
We're not in disagreement there...	JimmyDean	October 31, 2013 05:16AM
Indications here is that more people are in fact paying out of pocket for medical expenses	Rade	October 31, 2013 06:07AM
And part of the reason why that's not the same...	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 07:45AM
I could be wrong..	Rade	October 31, 2013 10:59AM
You might actually be right.	Death_Claw	November 01, 2013 10:12AM
DC is arguing that's not the case, and has been for most of the thread. (n/t)	Scrimbul	October 31, 2013 05:58PM
Exactly. You have restated my point. :P (n/t)	JimmyDean	October 31, 2013 06:32AM
Yeah well...	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 05:32AM
What state are you dealing in, if you don't mind me asking? (n/t)	JimmyDean	October 31, 2013 05:48AM
I live in MD, my family and company are all out of NY.	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 05:50AM

The ACA cost me my 'good' insurance...	Nurok	October 30, 2013 10:23AM
Did it really?	Rade	October 31, 2013 12:59PM
Exactly	JimmyDean	November 01, 2013 04:00AM
Same	HairyOrangutan	October 31, 2013 05:49AM
Let me tell you a story about...	Matrik	October 30, 2013 11:27AM
I beleive it starts with, "This is the story...."	Frosty	October 30, 2013 12:16PM
Have you seen the semi-new parody of it?	Matrik	October 30, 2013 01:23PM
Youtube ruined this	PaulO	October 30, 2013 06:19PM
Agreed :( (n/t)	Matrik	October 30, 2013 07:59PM
I'm not clicking that. You know why? It's the same as when Admiral Ackbar's crew had enemy ships in sector 47.	Frosty	October 30, 2013 01:55PM
It was a trap? n/t	jalim	October 30, 2013 01:59PM
Nope. Just Rick Astley. (n/t)	DurNominator(VIP)	October 30, 2013 09:17PM
No thanks Matrik, Obama's policy already did a fine job of fucking me.	Nurok	October 30, 2013 11:52AM
Does it not strike you as odd...	JimmyDean	October 31, 2013 03:25AM
Re: Does it not strike you as odd...	Nurok	October 31, 2013 04:11AM
No, I think I get that...	JimmyDean	October 31, 2013 04:51AM

Not necessarily.	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 04:21AM
Lets not forget the people with prexisting problems. (n/t)	ghuljun_thul	October 31, 2013 04:31AM
Yes, correct. n/t	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 04:46AM
Dont sound that bad then overall	Cerunnir	October 31, 2013 07:08AM
Honestly...	Death_Claw	October 31, 2013 07:39AM
