"This exchange, open to individuals and small-business employees, would provide coverage to just 17 percent of the marketplace, the report notes."The 83% of people who won?t be getting their insurance through the govt exchange will be paying 10% MORE to help fund up to 2/3 of the premiums for the 17% who will be utilizing the govt plan.So much for not increasing premiums, eh, Mr. President?
Let the rationing begin. There have been some changes in my insurance for the up coming year. Usually just my co pay goes up. This year if I want to get any big test dune it coast me $100 to start out of pocket. Anything bigger then an x-ray like a MRI, cat scan you know the important things you mite need done as you grow older and live on a fix income. My next-door neighbor who is dead now used to have to not get medical things done cause she couldn’t afford them. My fiancé just got notified her Medicare prescription thing was going from .90 to $5.90 a month. Doesn’t seem like much then I thought of my neighbor. What do you think? A sing of things to come? You think things will get better?
