Wall Street Journal: ObamaCare Premiums up to 3X More Costly.

[WelfareQueen]

Well, it is official. A reputable media outlet, The Wall Street Journal, has done an apples to apples comparison between existing health care plans versus Obamacare. For a 27 year old male in good health who is a non-smoker the costs go up between 250% -300%. Here is an actual quote.

In Nashville, Tenn., a 27-year-old male nonsmoker could pay as little as $41 a month now for a bare-bones policy, but would pay $114 a month for the lowest-cost bronze option in the new federal health exchanges.

Likewise, the least-expensive bronze policy would rise to $195 a month in Philadelphia for that same 27-year-old, from $73 today. In Cheyenne, Wyo., the lowest-cost option would be $271 a month, up from $82 today.

Many states will limit choice on the exchanges to only one plan with no other competition. Two States (Oregon and Colorado) say the computer program won't be functional for at least a month, so people will not be able to enroll on-line. Gee, isn't Obamacare great!

I would love some the good liberal posters on this board to defend this shit and tell us all why this is good for America. Here is a link to the full story.

If you like your current plan, tough shit, Obama and the Dems don't think you deserve to choose the plan you want at a price you can afford.

It's government's fault that insurance companies couldn't compete the way auto insurance companies do. Just imagine if they could have. Costs would have come down. Competition does that. Government control just raises costs and limits things for everyone.

You get to pay through the nose for a plan they let you have. They will dictate your coverage, the cost and whether you will get treatment. If you are 75 or older, I hope you had a nice life because you are no longer worth the money if you need heart surgery or suffer from other serious illnesses.

How lovely that Obama, congress and the wealthiest people in the country don't have to lower their own standards and settle for the same shit they impose on the rest of us.

Obamacare sucks and so do the idiots who passed it.
