Location: TEXAS | With premium hikes coming down the pipes, who plans on dropping insurance and just saving money for medical emergencies? I've read you will save money doing that and just paying the fine. Any thoughts? |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | I want to know what all of those you support this health care - what do you have to say about it? It's not just the off beat news reporting this - the white house made a statement about it.
Tell us now why it is so good? And, is so cheap?

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Hubby, daughter, and myself do not have health insurance. Haven't since our daughter was born 7 years ago. The highest deductible plan we were offered was over $700 a month and didn't cover much of anything. So we just save towards the fine every year. Next year it's going to be about $2000. That's a lot less than the over $8000 we would be spending on insurance when we don't do doctors but once or twice a year for our daughters checkups. The few times something has happened was minor, so just went to the walk in clinic and paid out of pocket. Health insurance would be awesome to have, but it's not feesable for our situation. |

Location: Kansas | Going up 30% at my place of employment but we haven't heard yet how it's going to affect our premiums. Should be interesting. We're already paying a fortune with a $6500 deductible. It's useless for anyone halfway healthy but happy to know illegals get their medical care free.

| The discontinued by current plan, the comparable is almost double the price, higher deductible and now my doctor is out of network. Cant shop around until 11/1 but the few places I called aren't even accepting new people in 2017  |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | The fine is huge and gets worse every year you don't have insurance. We pay $699 a month for a HSA that is absolutely worthless. $5000 per person deductible...$15k as a family of 4. It hasn't paid more than $100 a yr for any Dr bills. Most are check ups for the kids, tummy bug they can't shake etc. So honestly if we paid everything out of pocket for the past 3 yrs we wouldn't have paid over $500. It's the bad things that can happen health wise that keep us from just saving that instead. |

Location: Kansas | Just saw a story about a fella from Georgia with a wife and three kids......small business owner. His BC/BS effective January lst will go from $711.83 to $1872.17 per month with $5000 deductible.
Hillary's plan includes more subsidizing and bailing out health insurance companies. Trump's plan is to kick Obamacare clear out. California wants to open up Obamacare for illegals.

| One step closer to their single-payer health care system!! They don't care if Obama Care fails, it just gets them closer to "Medicare for All".
We have no one to blame but ourselves... By the time the presidential election roles around and we decide to become active in politics, it's too late! It starts from the bottom up, city, county, state...

Throw more money at the problem... A Politician's answer for everything!

Location: Cocoa, Florida | Small business owners or independents like myself can only hope and pray that Trump will be voted in and kick Obama care out the window but will it be that easy, and how long in actuality will it take to change? I told my poor boyfriend that I only want to get married for the benefits right now (lol jk)but seriously it's ridiculous. I went to work for a hair cutting corporation 5 years ago because they had free health care, well with Obama care that obviously changed and went up throughout the years, so I was only getting 1/2 of what I brought in plus paying $120 for benefits for myself which I understand isn't bad but working as an independent I make 100% profit but now have to purchase my health care :(
It's almost a loose loose situation right now. |
