http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/healt...id=mailsignout Interesting how this is happening as the risk corridors built into the program are going away. Here's the second part of the equation: The G ( you and I) will have to pay more to refund the insurance companies so that they can continue O'care. The teat is drying up. The carriers are never going to loose on this deal. Someone is gonna pay for this--either higher premiums or more G money or BOTH.

WOW.. its all gonna come home to roost soon.

A bunch of major companies are taking it in the jocko, ours included. No way we could afford the $800+ premiums without 0care. Interesting that the timing of this is ramping up as we approach the election. Will Hellary pull out Universal Health Care first, or will Trump. Trump's advocated it before, Hellary designed it back in the day. The main effect of a socialist medical system is that we'll run out of other people's money faster, and the quality of care will go down.

^^^ this. Progressives want Ocare to fail so they can implement single payer.

Add to that its not cost effective to get us fixed up after 55 (because they can't make the money back) so you get a pill to get you over the hump and they send you home. Hopefully we die and they don't have to pay social security. Just ask my sister in law in Canada about that.

As a bonus, the older folks still remember what America is about. We remember the actual history our schools have re-written, which makes us dangerous.

If you need any major medical work done, do it now.

Let me say this, Professionally speaking.
Most Home Health Care equipment and supply companies are dropping out of the recent medical reimbursements.
Let's ay you need O2. walker, hospital Bed etc.... fergedaboudit!
Medicare cut 75% to the DME dealer and they told Medicare F You! as they should....
Now remember this..... WE that worked starting in 1965, have been paying into this "Fund" and now the the Boomers have hit the 65 yo level, you won't get the vital thing you may need.

I have not been, nor ever will be, held hostage to the vagaries of the ACA marketplace. And, watching this predictable disaster unfold, I am most grateful for that.

One thing you got there in CO is legal weed and the supporters claim it fixes most anything.

Just trying to lighten up this mess we're all dealing with.
