Little relief from soaring premiums

Bill Luffman, 61, is a tobacco consultant in State Road, North Carolina, whose premiums have soared since the ACA went into effect. But he doubts the Trump proposals will help him. The premium on a Blue Cross/Blue Shield policy covering him and his wife, Joan, rose from $689 a month in 2015 to $2,347 per month in 2017. He paid. But when Blue Cross hiked it to near $2,500 per month for 2018, he applied for a federal waiver letting him buy a cheap policy with limited coverage, because the cost of health insurance was well over 25% of his income. He got the waiver and now pays $1,350 for a policy that covers catastrophic care, but little else.

. . . just like he had before, when he was paying $689.

Yeah, too bad the public option got shot down. 

 

now people are really going to get screwed under Trump's policies. 

 

Oh, like the GOP isn't going to screw the people who have single payer insurance, too.

Damn Obama for failing to make it illegal for your insurance company to make changes to your policy, like (you're trying desperately to imply) he promised he would.

It would seem to me that if you’re strongly anti abortion you’d be for cheap, accessible, long term and reliable contraception. 

You’d think that would be how it works, but it doesn’t seem to be.  No funds for contraception, cut aid for poor families with children, complain of the laziness of those kids when they can’t overcome their surroundings.  All the time not realizing that you are them.  It’s just damn crazy.

The only contraception these folks going accept is not having sex till you're married.

Still trying to get my wife to understand that anal sex is a great way to prevent pregnancy.  We don't agree on which one is the receiver.
