Health Insurance Rate Shock-California Obamacare Insurance Exchange Announces Premium Rates

157. That website, which allowed a person a larger and more complete understanding of what was to

Come, has been replaced (apparently) by the website cited in this discussion.

And according to this new website, we will have as our monthly bill a mere $ 102 for the premium. No discussion about where this $ 102 a month is to come from - we don't have it. I have yet to read any article in any newspaper that says that those of us in the 17,000 to 39,000 dollar a year income range are not going to be screwed big time.

So although if the new website quoted here is true, we are only on the tab for $ 102 X 12, then I won't moan too much. Maybe I can babysit on weekends and make that money?

But what worries me is I cannot find anywhere on the new site any discussion of deductibles. And I know there are deductibles being required of almost every insurance holder - and people are really steamed about that.

So if this household still needs to come up with an annual $ 5,000 deductible a piece deductible, plus co-pays, as was detailed in the original website, we will be paying 102 a month X 12 + 10,000 + co-pays before we receive a single penny of help from a Big Insurer. Any couple making under 35,000 a year knows it isn't possible - at least not if you are paying rent at steep prices as we do here in California.

Yet the Obama/Rahm Wellpoint Heath Insurers Guarantee Program has its fans here, so I guess I should just friggin' shut up.
