smitty Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 More on what has happened that wasn't going to happen according to obama. From the article: "The Affordable Care Act was supposed to make health care more affordable, but a study of insurance policies before and after Obamacare shows that average premiums have skyrocketed, for some groups by as much as 78 percent." My question is -- Affordable for who?? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/28/obamacare-sends-health-premiums-skyrocketing-by-as/ Quote

The slug, dropout that is getting it for free or paying $10 a month thinks that is great but for the guy working for a living and it goes from $500 a month to $800 a month, not so much.

CraigS Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 yep...mine went to $946 per month w/ $3000 deduct.....that's $14,452 (after deduct is met) before I can even get the benefit of my insurance paying 80%....and we may go to the doctor once or twice a year...a big maybe! And I don't even get a thank you from the "leaches" ... I just get called names like selfish and greedy, and told I don't pay my fair share to "help" others.....this isn't even counting what I pay in taxes...but that's for a different discussion.........

stevenash Posted October 31, 2014 Report Posted October 31, 2014 Leaches on the public dole. The slug, dropout that is getting it for free or paying $10 a month thinks that is great but for the guy working for a living and it goes from $500 a month to $800 a month, not so much.I have personal knowledge of an individual employed by a public school who pays $1700 per month for coverage for spouse and dependent. Remember, the school personnel are "the regular guy" whom Obama said he was going to protect and fight for. Does this seem like good "protection" from the President? Quote
Big girl Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 She can shop on the exchange if her monthly premiums ate more than 10 percent of her monthly income. That happened to a friend of mine and he was able to get a silver plan through Molina for 600/ mo for his family. Quote

That happened to a friend of mine and he was able to get a silver plan through Molina for 600/ mo for his family.I work for BISD (I'm on lunch break), and we're one of the higher paying school districts in the immediate area. I've got 9 years experience. $600 a month would represent 20% of my monthly take home. I'm having a hard time seeing that as affordable. Quote

Being on a Silver Plan thru Molina, extension of Dual eligible Medicare/Medicaid, her friend is benefiting from "Cost Reduction Plans." Or Subsidies. Quote

Big girl Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 Being on a Silver Plan thru Molina, extension of Dual eligible Medicare/Medicaid, her friend is benefiting from "Cost Reduction Plans." Or Subsidies. why dont you do some research before responding. Molina has a COMMERCIAL plan on the exchange. My friend and his wife didnt qualify for subsidies. Why don you try shopping on the exchange. You can just put in an income and it will tell you what you can expect to pay a month. Quote
Big girl Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 I worked for molina and it does also have a medicare and medicaid plan, but it is not on the exchange. (There is not a medicare or medicaid plan on the exchange just private insurance companies). Wow, you guys hate something and you dont even know the basics. Smh Quote

They made more money and it was a family, not just an individual. Quote
Big girl Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 Being on a Silver Plan thru Molina, extension of Dual eligible Medicare/Medicaid, her friend is benefiting from "Cost Reduction Plans." Or Subsidies. roflmbo. To qualify for medicaid you have to be poor or have a spevial waiver or you have to have a disability.Old people and those who are disabled qualify for medicare, being dual eligible means you get both. Medicare pays 80 % and medicaid pays 20%. If medicare doesnt cover something then medicaid will. Quote
Big girl Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 This is totally different from the commercial plan. Quote
Baba Ganoush Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 Everyone on here except is a big dumb liar. That one might have bumped their head a few times with so much roflmbo. That person also seems to have worked at every insurance, hospital, medical related company in the US. But just maybe, other people on here have worked/continue to work in the field of healthcare and might know a few things. Even if we only have one degree. I'll stick with my knowledge of healthcare, including Molina Silver Plan (95%+ enrolled are Cost Reduction ). But enjoy your contrarian view of the world. Quote
Big girl Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 You dont know what you are talking about period and I think you know you are wrong. I worked at molina for 2 yrs and united medicaid for 3 5 yrs. I know more than you do Quote

Big girl Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 I said you cannot shop on the exchange. You said a person could. You are the person who bought it up. You apply for medicare and medicaid at the social security administration. You lose. Lol Quote
