Rising Cost of Medical Insurance
We have been notified that my husband, Dan’s medical insurance is going to be increasing by about 70% starting next month. We have been paying over $373 a month for pretty poor insurance as it is. He has a $5100 deductible that has to be met before the insurance company even considers paying for anything. They have informed us they are increasing his medical insurance premiums to over $630 a month!
So I asked our insurance agent what the problem is. I have to say, she has not been the best insurance agent but I’ve stayed with her. She said, well it’s a combination of Obamacare and Colorado laws mandating coverage for everyone. The kicker here is Dan has to be covered for maternity!
I am not on this insurance policy. In fact, I have not had medical insurance for at least three years. I am trying to understand what makes these insurance companies think Dan could get pregnant? Are there some really unique experiments out there that Dan is going to participate in and become pregnant? Is there anyone else thinking, “huh?”
If anyone in the United States did not think this was going to be the result of Obamacare, then you have been living in the dark ages. Nothing is free. Someone has to pay for the people that cannot afford to have insurance..
We have been self-employed since 1990 and have had to cover ourselves and our employees ever since. As a small company, insurance was not always such a burden. When we first started our business, insurance was relatively inexpensive. But over the years with mandates from the various governments, insurance rates have skyrocketed!
I have informed Dan that if something happens to me, please just let me die. I can’t afford to be kept alive!
Here's Another Feather In Your Hat!
