Affordable Care Act

Hey RIU, it's been a while.

So my insurance company sent me a letter basically saying that my premiums are going to be roughly $230 more starting next year. Coverage is basically the same.


So my question is:

A)Why?

B)Can I get some kind of exemption? I keep hearing that certain people can get a pass on this. Or am I not cool enough?

Thanks



Ps Please bear with me, I'm not familiar with the law.
i am familiar and just in case you don't find your answer within the posts already stated..what is your current monthly premium? the 230$ extra, is that per month or per year? and you state it covers 5 people? correct?

actually, i was trying to help OP understand that the PPACA only limits what his insurer can make him pay for health insurance, by law.

some guy came in yelling about how he has responsibilities which we cannot possibly comprehend, and how he is now having to pay for poor people on top of these incomprehensible responsibilities that us unemployed, poor, obama loyalist, union thugs cannot possibly comprehend.

do you get that, kkkynes? as a 45 year old man who toils away for minimum wage, you should appreciate that he, the exalted "auburn85", pays for your poor ass to get health insurance. as a grown man who makes the bare minimum that law allows, you cannot possibly comprehend what that great man has to go through and be responsible for, including you.

so i recycled an old line on the dumbass for my personal amusement. how he responded told us all a lot about him.

i was all for actually looking at "obamacare" until that guy came in ad homming us all as poor, feeble dimwits who could not possibly comprehend what a fucking engineer is responsible for (hint: LLCs solve that problem nicely).

apparently you reading compensation has failed you if you can not see that.

re-read the damn thread, sweetheart.

agreed, your initial post was reasonable

but as soon as any Vocce en Contra appeared, desparaging Obamacare as a whole, you began the ad hominems as if you were personnaly slighted by criticism (no matter how vehement) against A POLICY which is so complex and confusing (as well as ill conceived) that few can agree on what the details might be.

you and cheezy both jumped in swinging, with allegations of homosexuality, depraved prostitution, and thinly veiled references to "rednecks" (Truckers, lol, such a clever code. nobody will break that one!) for no reason beyond his dissent against Obamacare, The Policy.

you need to work on you reading compensation, betsy.

that "vocce en contra" was not speaking out against the PPACA, his very first words were basically "OMGZ U R POOR!", followed by an ever so comical "YOU COULD NOT COMPREHEND MY RESPONSIBILITIES!!!!1!!!11!".

that is not a criticism of the PPACA, that is a douche asking to be trolled. i was happy to oblige.

hell, the only thing he could have done to make himself more imminently trollable was to tell us that we all have no idea what he is capable of.

yet you chastised me as the original troller, rather than saluting me for doing my duty against internet gaylords like auburn85.

you should know better.

mmmm... NOPE. simply an observation of the tactic used to stifle discussion of any uncomfortable topics for the Hyper-Lefty Posse: start a pissing match and watch the thread get closed.

it has happened many times, and the provocateurs are pretty consistent.

you're confusing "start" with "respond to", part of your continuing quest to rape the english language in the hope that it eventually agree with you out of stockholm syndrome.

Good reason to be a vet. I'll never pay for health insurance or even a dr's appointment. I'll always have free healthcare. And despite what people say, the care is great. Whatever I need, I get it.

as the one MOST LIKELY to start the Ad Hominem Pissing Match, your statement is hilariously hypocritical.

you have started, escalated and joined in on more pissing matches than anyone, even the legendary AbandonConflict, or that SuperStar of bullshit slinging, Echelon1k1.

you reign supreme as the Elite Piss Sprayer of this, or any forum.

i believe you also hold the record for Most Posts Deleted for Violation of the Terms of Use.

but i could be wrong, FinShaggy is hot on your heels for that title.

Yeah, I figured as much. I've been lurking around here for about a year before I joined, and I noticed that he posts here so much that he couldn't have a real job. So he freeloads off his wife and daddy-in-law? Sounds about right.
I program Setup and run 6 axis mazak machining and turning centers. I dont use mazatrol either. It's all G code Byatch.

Guess i'm an engineer also. Still make more money and still have more benefits than you.

Fuck you asshole. You don't know a damn thing about me or my job. Fuck you.

You made more grammar mistakes in the quoted post above than you have IQ points. You must be desperate for attention to point out typos.
Hey public apology time

I had you confused with someone else who is also a engineer. this other guy was looking for a job but he couldnt get any benefits and he was whining about it. Right after he was complaining about Unions.
You used the word Functionary just like him. Got confused and thought you were that asshole

They want me to train a team of young engineers on how to design stuff. Like how to spec parts so they don't cost an arm and a leg to manufacture. I'm not looking forward to it. Perhaps I should ask for a raise.

Affordable what act ? Ever since the demos plowed it through I have been paying higher and higher health insurance for bare bones catastrophic coverage.
WHY ?
Since 2008 I have seen my doc 3 times. Only for some new joint back issues. Paid for it all out of pocket since Catastrophic covers nothing. Shit Hundreds of dollars every month, so that the insurance company can refuse coverage when the real catastrophy happens .

Dont let absolute perfection be the roadblock to profits. You are given tolerances, use them. And if you can avoid it, Forget about value added services. like plating. let the customer do his own plating. That way he is responsible for the platers fucking up the specs

Blame the Insurers for that

They cant do that by law anymore.
Health Insurance companys raising rates is no different than what the credit card companys did before credit card reform took effect. Dont blame that on the law. Blame that on the companys that are trying to squeeze every dollar of profit they can before they are regulated.

health care premiums tripled in the 20 years before the PPACA.

now health care spending is going up slower and slower for the first time in a long time.

just an FYI.

health care insurance and costs never went up until Obama took office.
