More Obamacare fuckups

I love the Obama's statement where he said, "people will find that they can get health insurance for 100$ or less a month"

What he DOESN'T say is that, that insurance barely covers anything at all, you have insanely high out of pocket costs, and really all it does is give money to the insurance company.

Balancing monthly premiums with out-of-pocket costs

As with all health plans, you'll have to pay a monthly premium. But it's also important to know how much you have to pay out-of-pocket for services when you get care.

Premiums are usually higher for plans that pay more of your out-of-pocket medical costs when you get care. For example, if you have a Gold plan, you'll likely pay a higher premium, but may have lower costs when you go to the doctor or use another medical service.

With a Bronze plan, you'll likely pay a lower premium, but you'll pay a higher share of costs when you get care.

Platinum plans will likely have the highest monthly premiums and lowest out-of-pocket costs. The plan will pay more of the costs if you need a lot of medical care.

In general, when choosing your health plan, keep this in mind: the lower the premium, the higher the out-of-pocket costs when you need care; the higher the premium, the lower the out-of-pocket costs when you need care.

So yeah, it will cost you 100 a month if you never use it, but if you do use it you are screwed.

5,000 deductible.

He may as well have said, if you take the 100$ a month plan, you better not get sick or you will still go bankrupt.

Yep, keep praising the small premiums, but forget to mention the insane out of pocket if you need to use it.

Not at first but I read if this shutdown lasts for more than a few weeks it will.

I don't think it will last that long but who knows?

It will end before the end of the month, the repubs will cave, because really, The dems hold all the cards. They have the "moral high ground" and the media. Even if the repubs were right in what they were doing, they would never come out on top.
