I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

According to the Manhattan Institute the average increase is now 49% as a result of Obamacare.

Looks like women 40 and up and men over 64 should be super excited in Tulsa County.

The rest of us...not so much.

Can't you just imagine how much better it would have been had the state exchange been set up?

Come on, you can do it.  You're the clairvoyant.

Don't need to.  You can use this nifty map to look at states like Nevada, Oregon, Kentucky, Minnesota, California, Connecticut or New Mexico?

We could have been looking at 150% increases!

I didn't look.  Does the cost increase percentage include the people who weren't paying for insurance at all/didn't have insurance?

Don't think it would make much of a dent since the total # of enrollees is so small, and the vast majority of those were simply transfers from medicaid.

So if you throw in the folks who are seeing the huge group spikes through their employers, like me, this would probably really blow up the data.

Has anyone had their group plan go down last year?

I know many at my employer who had their family rates go down.  Mine (single only) went up.  About a dollar a pay period (I get 24 a year).

Not at my work.  We’ve got 12-15 employees on average.

Not last year, but the company had a plan for this year that cut the rates by $40 a month by doing the survey, and has already announced a plan to lower rates for next year if I jump through some hoops....basically answer a survey that asks some really "softball" questions like, "Do you eat a good diet?".  "Do you ever do any physical exercise?"     Multiple choice - "Do you participate in any of the following?"  Possible answers include walking, hiking, bicycle riding, etc.  Tough stuff.

Will reduce premiums by about $60 a month....NOT based on whether you do any, but just for answering the questions.  Don't even have to listen to a "sermon"....  Yeah, I'm gonna answer the questions for next year just like I did for this year!!
