ACA exchange enrollment is open! Here is a (hopefully) easy to use basic Resource Guide

23. My husband and i are per-diem RN's, so we're not eligible for benefits at our jobs

the prices we'd pay through these exchanges are ridiculous. $5,000-$25,000 deductibles? fuck that shit. $50+ copays. $300 for an emergency room visit, $600 if you're admitted to the hospital, $600 for outpatient surgery

The cheapest monthly premium is $450/month (estimated...approximately 22% of people were charged more) gives us $50 MD copay, $80 if I go to the OBGYN. $10,000 family deductible. several meds I take aren't covered by the formulary. Doesn't cover seeing ARNP or PA's (both of my providers are mid-levels).

Makes me vomit



$5400 + $10,000 deductible before anything kicks in.

Yeah, that's an AWESOME fucking plan. Makes me tingly in my lady parts just thinking about it.

And if we don't do it, we're fucking FINED?

Mr. Obama, how about increasing my pay by $15,400 a year and then I'll think about your generous insurance plan. Until then, you're taking $15,400 out of my household every year for insurance that I, as a 2-income RN family, can't even fucking afford.

Really, you shouldn't have. You really, really shouldn't have
