Location: In the Hills of Texas | I'm thrilled that I went from a $250.00 deductible to a $6,000.00 deductible and yes..it cost a little bit less but in reality, if I need it it will cost us at least $3,000.00 more over our old policy. |

So far the only people that I know that it's cheaper for is the ones that have gone on Medicaid. What a joke. |

I think that's the whole point. Get everyone on assistance. |

Location: LaBelle, Florida | My husband's company went from providing family insurance for free (part of his positions benifits) to booting me off the insurance and charging him a premium for him and daughter.
I now am on my companies insurance which jumped up 10.00/wk for single.
We can't afford Obamocare either. |

Depends on House and Senate........as well as who is President............hence why Obama delayed the employer mandate till after the Nov. 2014 elections.......many Democrats are up for re-elections.....and Obama nor the Democrats can afford to lose seats...........if so Obamacare could be stopped..... |

The only way this will have a chance of happening is if every conservative gets off their duff and votes republican, no matter who the candidate is. Just hold your nose and do it. There will need to be a Republican majority in both the Senate and the House as well as in the presidency. Perhaps, but just perhaps, something can be changed for the better. I am also for term limits. Since there are no term limits on the Senate or House, we need to vote 'em out. |

I got mine through BCBS and there was no way I would go on the Obamacare site. From what I understand...the rates are the same unless you are eligible for a subsidy, which we aren't. |

My quotes were not the same. That is why I said I could not afford Obamacare. |

Location: kansas | I will be the odd person out here, My sister dropped the policy she had through her work, her new policy did go up but since she is still being treated for breast cancer, her obamacare policy pays for more with less deductible and less out of pocket expenses. Yes, her employer will be fined but she said at this point she could not afford to turn it down. Also my neice, has 4 kids, single working mother, no health coverage at work is on it and it is not that bad for her and 4 kids. She didn't qualify in Indiana to be on any state or federal assistance because she worked and gets some child support through the state because of deadbeat dads. I guess it depends on your circumstances if it is going to work for you or not. |

Are you a teacher? One of our customers was telling me about how much their rates are increasing and it was ridiculous like yours. Makes me so mad.
I'm on my husband's work plan and our deductible has gone through the roof. I'm glad I had my riding accident this year if it had to happen. At least it hasn't cost us an arm and a leg like it would have if we had that massive deductible. |

The lack of security made me decide not to even go there so I don't have a clue if I could have found something cheaper. I could have gone with an HMO that covered nothing and none of my doctors would accept, for less money. |

Location: Somewhere between S@%&# stirrer and Saint | I haven't paid any attention to this insurance BS of Obama care. So can I BS my way through it and not buy insurance. Or do I just buy some private insurance and all is good? Why is it so expensive? |

Location: North Dakota | My turn! We went from $750 a month, $300 deductable and insurance pays 90. TO $1650 a month, $5000 deductable, insurance pays 80%. We were warned after 14 months it will go up to $2200 a month, $10,000. deductable and insurance pays 80% for Family of 5! Obama did this for the low income adults to get medicaid! In the past it was just children and pregnant women. He set it up so this country is forced to pay for all the adults that have no insurance. Well guess what the insurance company is sticking it to the people who do! The minority now have health insurance to add to the free ride they are owed right? |

Location: Mountains of VA | I have tried a bizillion times to get on the site but it keeps coming up with error. I have checked and rechecked the info I am typing.........it is correct. I don't know why I can not get on the site.
I think the whole Obama Care program is a joke. Not sure if I will pay penalty or try to get insurance privately. |
