My Insurance Premiums are only going up 1% Next Year

[RockaFowler]

We just got our insurance information from the company and well I'm rather thrilled.

A 1% increase is less than previous years.

I also get a discount for the following:
Go to the doctor for an annual visit
Go to the dentist at least once a year
Do a preventive cancer screening


I was able to get the full deduction and well I will be paying even less than last year.
Oh and those 3 things I mentioned above are all covered now BECAUSE of the ACA. So can I say "Thanks Obama"??

My husband's plan also went down year to year. He is getting covered 100% for all preventive care. That's what I call a great plan.

Oh and Thanks Obama. Thanks for caring for the American People enough to even think that this could be possible. We can make it better and really with Hillary we will make it better.

Can't wait to vote this Saturday for the next President Hillary Clinton!!

1. Mine are probably going up a lot more. And I'm not under Obamacare.

Just regular corporate sponsored health insurance.

It would be good if the media reported how much insurance rates are going up for people who are not under Obamacare.

4. Yeah - I'm an HR exec and just got the figures for our open enrollment for my company.

Looking like a 14-18% premium increase, depending on the plan and carrier. We've had a good year, so we're probably going to try to absorb some of that, but employees will take a small additional hit.

2. Mine went up 75%. Gonna have to drop it & pick something else. Thought my subsidy would go up, but

it wasn't in the letter I got from the insurance company. I don't make a ton of money either, just my retirement pension & my husband's SSD. Totally bummed out, but still looking forward to voting straight Democratic on 11/8.

5. I'm on an employer -based plan. Mine are going up 10%

Insurance is the problem, not the ACA

[WillParkinson]

6. My insurance is going up, too....

Current (with subsidy) is $280
New (with subsidy) is $408. (Without subsidy would be $578.)

To be honest, I'm a self-employed author. Not sure I can afford $600 a month.

[demigoddess]

13. my husband's doctor told him that he was paying $900 a month for insurance

this was before ACA. Hope he is paying less now.

7. Before Obamacare prices were going up far more than they are now.

I can't even imagine where they'd be if we never had Obamacare...not to mention all those with preexisting problems...many of those would in fact be dead!

8. Mine actually went down a touch. NT

9. Glad to see people are looking on the bright side

Any increases in the cost are far worth it considering the amount of people that are going to be helped.

Me and my wife are seeing a $360 increase every month and I pay it gladly knowing that other people that otherwise wouldn't have coverage, are now covered.

[Skittles]

12. you gladly pay an extra $360?

nice that you can afford that

[Jason1961]

14. Budgeting

Me and the wife give up two expensive date nights a month and 20 million people that weren't covered are now covered. We all have to make sacrifices and I think we should be happy to make them. The people that created the ACA are much smarter than you or me and we'd all be better off trusting their judgement and trusting our Party.

The ACA isn't perfect (yet!) but fixing it is Hillary's job and ours is to get her elected so that she can do her's so let's not lose focus.

[Skittles]

15. what happens the next time it goes up a few hundred bucks?

and the next time?

[Jason1961]

16. We'll deal with it

We certainly won't complain about it during an election.

This is no different than the Russians trying to influence our election except that this time it's the insurance companies.

Best thing to do is trust our Party to fix it and in the mean time focus your energy on helping Hillary.

[Skittles]

17. I am not even THINKING about the election

is that all you care about?

DONE HERE

10. You have employer insurance, not the ACA. Nt

[Skittles]

11. what does that mean, you get a discount?

you were being charged for preventative care?

[bhikkhu]

18. Mine have stayed the same for three years now

I'll find out in a month or so what next year's premiums will be. I'm in a company plan, covering a few thousand employees. Covering just myself costs me about $75 a month, so I know I'm pretty fortunate.

My daughters have state coverage thanks to the ACA, which has been a godsend.

21. My premium and my copay

just took a healthy jump, leaving me with even less reason to seek medical treatment when needed.
