that's about what it cost my brother and his wife to have 2 kids on her old insurance policy......
Health Care Reform is Dead
- Thread starter Pesqueeb
- Start date
Gotta wonder who slipped this by the censors.
the only thing that slipped by the foxnews editors was the title "Five reasons Americans already love ObamaCare", when clearly they meant to write "Five reasons African-Americans already love ObamaCare"
colorado residents are being farmed out to a state run site, and here's the message (in a marquee banner that screams lowest bidder for building the website):
"Welcome
ue to overwhelming interest, we are temporarily suspending the creation of accounts. Please continue to browse plans. Thank you for your patience."bear in mind, enrollment ends 31oct.
how awesome is that?
Favorite Comment from farcebook so far today,
"Fundamentalists are going to tank the world economy. American Tealiban."

I did notice that faux was running a "related" article on how "Obamacare already a disaster" because a couple of the websites were 404ing in the first 4 hours of the day.

You know as well as I do that if it's that much of a problem, enrollment will just be extended. CO website works for me. I will have to spend some time perusing that. It's only a question of "how long" before the airline dumps us all into an exchange. Personally, I can't wait. Fvck UHC.
Edit: according to CO's website:
Seems like plenty of time to me.

Jesus Christ on a crutch. If one is to believe what my employer claims about the portion of my health insurance it's covering, I can do significantly better on CO's exchange. Hell, I can pick up the two bottom plans for cheaper than just my portion of of my employer provided health care. Thanks Obama!
Edit!: Highest level "Gold Tier" plan (there is no "platinum" plan) through the Colorado Health Co-Op is $280+/- less per month than what my employer claims my health care costs. The only "platinum" level plan (which includes a halfway decent vision plan) is offered by Humana, for a cost-to-me of a shockingly cheap $598.40, $481.60 less per month (on average) than what my employer based health care costs.
Sure seems like a communist takeover to me.

this.
can you opt out @work & pick this up? and will you get the same level of care, to possibly include the same network? would suck to get a different specialist each time & have to wait 2 mos to be seen for a mobility issue (knee/back/neck)
It's my understanding that if your employer provides health care, you can not enter the exchange. I seem to recall reading somewhere that this might be an option in the future but I'd have to go look for it. It will not surprise me, at all if the airline tries to dump all health care onto the feds/states. Even if they continue to pick up 2/3, and they should, there is no way they can't save money.
I don't know in the case of specific individuals, but I currently visit CSHP and Penrose St. Francis for my medical needs, (I get a volume business discount!
)and there are probably 6-8 plans specifically offered by CSHP on the exchange. I haven't looked into those yet so I can't rightly compare them to what I have now. When I did the numbers above I just picked the lowest cost, one in the middle, and then highest cost plans. It's certainly possible that there are better options tucked away inside the website that I did not see in the 20 minutes I spent looking.

I was sent the "memo" today at work stating that if your employer meets the minimum threshold of HI, then you can't opt out. Was looking to do the same as you, Pesqueeb. I have had it with my HI plan here at work and *could* get the same level of plan at a lower rate on the exchange with the subsidy.
Facking home birth costs next month better blow out my deductible!

Well of course she's going to say she's never consorted with the devil. Exactly the kind of thing Satan would tell her to avoid.

ladies and gentlemen, the following statement was posted on a fox news website:
but, socialism?
Wow. So.........Juan Williams going back to NPR?
Pfft! Faux needs a little window dressing around the 'fair and balanced' slogan.
so word on the street is that the right wing / tea party et al have been behind a lot of the ddos attacks on the gov't health care website
:facepalm:
the only thing that surprises me about this is that there are tea partiers smart enough to figure how to conduct a ddos attack

While I don't doubt that, the site seems to be such a ****-show that merely attempting to log into the system could be considered an 'attack'.
to be fair though, holding down the F5 key isn't in the same realm as using a ddos attack tool.
go with your first instinct.
when i commented how Chow would eat a gun after all this past week's testimonies, my boy back east says:
flatulate?
do you really think that core functionality issues are an excuse for deliberate attempts at sabotage / cyber attacks?
do you really think racist pensioners will take a break from browsing Maxine strips to contribute to this gunpowder plot?
they can't even figure out how to turn on the computers. there are some young idiots out that that have figured out how to graduate beyond dial up.
