I payed less than $4000 a year with my previous employer for my family. They matched my premiums. That's $8000 tops.

The Repubs have tried to warn everyone this was a BAD bill...Not at all the "reform" that is needed...

Yikes! Why didn't any of the pundits make this claim prior to the bill's passage?


The Dems didn't tell you because:
a) They can't do math
b) They don't want to do math to tell the truth to the public
c) They must think that all of their constituents are as dumb as they are...
d) They are Dems and wouldn't know the truth if it smacked them in the face.

Someone who is uninsured and diagnosed with cancer that requires ~$200k per year in care can buy insurance for ~$15k per year, and drop it when/if the cancer goes into remission?

Yes, which is why the premiums will be much higher than $15k. the pool is shrunk but the costs are increased because of the elimination of the pre-existing condition exclusion. Expect all of our premiums to go up.
