[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under this bill, pregnancy will cost you an extra 17K. Metastatic cancer 172K. Autism 5K. Asthma 4K. This isn't a healthcare bill.[/quote]
The only problem I see is the $172k for cancer. Paying $5k for autism or $4k for asthma is small potatoes compared to the sky-high premiums under Obamacare. Middle-class couples easily pay more than $30,000 a year for their health needs, so $4k or $5k is nothing compared to the financial strain of Obamacare.[/quote]

Agreed.  I would gladly take on a little more risk for reduced payments.  I am subsidizing too many treatments that I do not want or need.[/quote]
Yup. Al Franken was talking today about how the GOP might get rid of the "essential" coverage, neglecting to mention how we are oaying through the nose for "essential" coverage we will never or likely never need to use. [/quote]

Are you on the ACA exchange?[/quote]
Yes, but I make too much for subsidies, so I'm paying over [b]$800 a month (for one), with a deductible of $4500. That's $15,000 year for "affordable" health care.[/b] And that's what someone my age would have to pay even if they made only $49k a year. Completely unaffordable for the middle class.[/quote]

I have an employer sponsored plan.  My share of premiums are $450 a month.  My employer pays about the same.  The cost of my plan has risen for the last 9 years of being with my company.  That's not the ACA.  That's our healthcare industry.  [/quote]

+1  Absolutely agree[/quote]
