Anyone else get screwed on healthcare this year? Went from $50 copays to 20% of visit? Ouch when it's a big bill like PT 3 times a week after a surgery. Definitely POS means something else now.

Don't blame ACA for that. See JB Silver Jan. 4 article on Market Watch to start to untangle details of this. ACA is a scapegoat. Greed is the winner here, make no mistake.

Relax, "something better" is on the way!

Something better this way comes. At least that means I'll reach my deductible by March I guess.

That's why I wrote it that way. Word play @mediavest 🤓

Oddly enough the work plans actually got better this year.

When Insurance CEO make the salaries they make, Pharma over charges for drugs, etc., and on down the line, we are all getting screwed to buy some schmuck his third mansion.

It's not just insurance CEOs. It's any executive. While Obamacare had some great things about it, it also needs to go and be replaced with something better. Rates and deductibles are out of control at this point

Huh? They've risen faster after the introduction of Obamacare then over the past 8 years before it

Havas, where are you getting your "facts."

Here's a great opinion article w links to a number of studies that tie surging premiums to ACA. http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2016/07/28/overwhelming-evidence-that-obamacare-caused-premiums-to-increase-substantially/
