Oh My, This Won't Work Out Well
|
Well, Ted Cruz hates the bill as it doesn't dry fuck near enough people in the ass.
I could see the Senate voting 99-1 in favor now. Hell, if Ted hates it then I like it, and I don't have to read it first. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
GOOD NEWS:
Medica is in for providing ACA policies in Iowa next year. I'm estimating my individual health insurance premium for next year will be around $19,000 based on their announcement of a 43% premium increase. I don't know if their rates were consistent with the BCBS policy I had, but they couldn't be too far off or everyone would already be with them. Jesus Fucking Christ, however, I can afford this, but what of the thousands of folks WHO CANNOT ??????????????????? And BTW, I CANNOT afford too many more annual rate hikes of +40%. And unfortunately, the lines on the graph cross well BEFORE I'm eligible for Medicare. If nothing changes, I might not have health insurance from ~2019 to 2022, unless farm incomes rise dramatically, or I sell farm land to pay for health insurance, assuming buyers exist without that same constraint. My farm land supports (currently) 6 people, and that 2019 thing might be optimistic . . . . The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

ah . . .
But see, Ted Cruz wants more of them to die faster. Ted is the dead canary in our methane exploding coal mine of health insurance. Only game in town regardless, I'm compelled to support it barring some weird deus ex mechina that puts a hundred more dems in congress tonite. I'm assuming there is not a magic elf of some kind with that capability poised to strike. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I have a BCBS group policy through my employer. Annual premium for myself and a minor child - this year - is about $25K, with a 6K individual and 12K family deductible. Thankfully, I do not have to pay all of it.

You Americans and your crappy healthcare. What you need is an nhs like us.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. (June 22, 2017 at 4:09 pm)vorlon13 Wrote: self employed farmer I get it...the situation is untenable. It's not so rosy for group plans either, is the only point I wanted to make. I am going to be in your shoes before too much longer, and millions already are. On the other hand, my girlfriend works at for a large hospital network in food service, and her employee share is something like $11 every two weeks, many copays are waived, and her coinsurance is reasonable. We'd get married if it weren't for financial consequences elsewhere which are almost certainly even more devastating. |
