304. Getting angry at contributing to maternity care is silly.

Mon Oct 14, 2013, 01:34 PM

Oct 2013

All of us, regardless of gender, availed ourselves of a uterus in becoming a person. None of us would be here if it weren't for "lady parts." Further, the people who are grown within those "lady parts" and are born from them will be contributing to social security once they grow, and that money will be used to pay us our old age pensions.

As we age, and maybe need someone to wipe our butts and deliver our Meals on Wheels, the money forked over to "maternity care" will have paid for the birth costs of people who are doing that wiping and delivery.

Consider paying for "maternity care" an investment in old age--even if you aren't planning on having kids yourself. It doesn't just take a village to raise a kid, it takes a village to care for the elderly among us, too.

Most people I know WANT to live to a ripe old age, so they consider the payments an investment in their old age...

Here's my ACA rate INCREASE for those who doubt... [View all] ReverendDeuce Oct 2013 OP

It looks like an upgraded policy. Sparkly Oct 2013 #1

I _can't_ keep the same plan. ReverendDeuce Oct 2013 #3

Who is the "they" that is forcing you? notadmblnd Oct 2013 #19

Companies that are complying with the law as written Yo_Mama Oct 2013 #190

but it is my understanding that if your premiums are more than something like 10% of what you make notadmblnd Oct 2013 #199

Yes it is. It's entirely ACA Yo_Mama Oct 2013 #225

It looks like your current company is trying to take you for a ride. Incitatus Oct 2013 #24

Yes it is B2G Oct 2013 #32

Yes, they do because before, a plan with maternity coverage would cost... Barack_America Oct 2013 #34

Ok, so his plan does have to be upgraded. Incitatus Oct 2013 #60

There's no indication this plan is through an exchange. Barack_America Oct 2013 #64

It doesn't matter B2G Oct 2013 #75

I appreciate your assistance in this thread... nt ReverendDeuce Oct 2013 #126

I completely understand B2G Oct 2013 #250

We all know the ACA is not perfect . . . brush Oct 2013 #157

Yes, it's part of the new law. Other co's on the exchange are just as ridiculously priced. n/t ReverendDeuce Oct 2013 #55

The ACA does not prevent premiums going up more than 10%. former9thward Oct 2013 #262

Right. Sparkly Oct 2013 #275

Is this insurance through an employer? B Calm Oct 2013 #2

It's an individual plan I've had for several years. n/t ReverendDeuce Oct 2013 #5

Did you check the rates you would get on healthcare.gov? bunnies Oct 2013 #10

Bingo! regnaD kciN Oct 2013 #21

Thank you. I was going to edit to add in what you said about subsidies... bunnies Oct 2013 #33

Bingo? LOL... Brother, this IS THE EXCHANGE PLAN... I've seen it, it's the SAME PLAN... n/t ReverendDeuce Oct 2013 #56

Most likely? B2G Oct 2013 #89

Wouldn't bet on that. The on and off exchange individual policies I'm hearing are the same. TheKentuckian Oct 2013 #188

PPACA is private indivual health insurance, not health care TransitJohn Oct 2013 #231

Gawd. Just cancel that stinker and get a plan through the exchanges. Sheesh. kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #113

The plans on the exchange are just as pricey, and this plan is already a part of the exchange... nt ReverendDeuce Oct 2013 #129

Well, deal with it. There are no more crappy policies available. There never should have been, kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #145

Who is the "we" who is enrolling you? Beaverhausen Oct 2013 #6

50% Coinsurance, as in the OP's example, means you pay half Cal Carpenter Oct 2013 #115

Only "on top of the premiums", not the deductibles. Nye Bevan Oct 2013 #144

That's true, I misspoke. So the patient pays 100% of the bills until the deductible is reached Cal Carpenter Oct 2013 #150

Hes not a family, he is an individual. nt stevenleser Oct 2013 #159

Okay, so for him it is $9200. Cal Carpenter Oct 2013 #179

So the money they don't have... PETRUS Oct 2013 #196

Thank you. Some sanity in a sea of denial. nt B2G Oct 2013 #78

In single payer, you dont get to opt out of anything, you just get taxed. And the OP would get taxed stevenleser Oct 2013 #205

But in single-payer, it would not be a for-profit disease management model like it is today... ReverendDeuce Oct 2013 #258
