'Obamacare' a Disaster for the Middle Class

Obama Care causing massive increases in medical premiums for the middle class and self employed. Government healthcare, here we come.

Thanks to Obama, Pelosi, Reid and all their friends, Obamacare is a living breathing monster and I don't really care what is in it now that it is passed.  What I do care about is my medical premiums for my small family has gone from $821 per month prior to Obama being elected to $1,711 per month a mere four years later.  For all you folks who didn't make it through high school math, that is a 109% increase under the Obama adminstration in just four years!  Guess, what?   My annual premiums of $20,532 is before I have to come out of pocket to pay the combined $8,000 family deductible and a $40 co-pay.  Better not get sick.  At least my flu shot was free. 

Now how much would my premiums be if I didn't have to cover 12 miliion (that's a low number) illegals from every country in the world who our government refuses to deport and who don't pay anything into the sytem or pay for abortions or free contraceptives or outrageous medical malpractice claims?  The system is broken and Obamacare only made things worse, much worse.  Anyone else feeling the premium pinch in their wallet?  Anyone's premiums gone down? 

Now I am just one family but now take the same premium increase I am experiencing and apply it to all government and agency employee benefits where the taxpayer usually pays 85%-100% of employee and their family premiums and get ready for fewer services and increased taxes and water rates.

Time for some bold leadership from all levels of State and Federal Government to get our debt reduced and country back on track.  Waiting for Superman.

"A huge explosion on the sun will deal Earth a glancing blow today (May 17) but should not poseRead More a threat to the planet, scientists say. The sun storm erupted late Tuesday (May 14) during a powerful solar flare — the fourth unleashed by a single sunspot in just 48 hours — and hurled a massive cloud of charged particles out into space at millions of miles an hour."

Just imagine how much tax-payer money's been blown on Art's drinking junkets over the last quarterRead More century (and how many sidewalks have been soiled).

Rides4Neighbors is a great service. Because I work and travel a lot I cannot always get my motherRead More to her appointments and the folks at Rides4Neighbors are always so helpful and my mom really praises the drivers for their help and friendliness.

Mark, they were making that U-Turn to drop off their elementary school children in the red zoneRead More anyway....so the no U-Turn sign kills two birds with one stone: no bad U-Turns + no parking in the red zone. And, we are talking about elementary school children, so safety should have been all those parents first priority.

It is good to narrow the streets. Pedestrians are road kill in San Diego County. And if drivers doRead More not realize there is not enough room to make a U-turn, they need to retake the driving test instead of going over the curb. This is not rocket science people.

Did S(he) tell you what was "shoddy" about his helping women with their choice?
Stuart Strenger April 20, 2013 at 02:48 pm
I've talked to God, and (S)he definitely supports a woman's right to choose whether she remainsRead More pregnant or not but disapproves of the shoddy way Dr. Gosnell ran his clinic. Surely you see the distinction as well. Medical malpractice is malpractice from any religious or ethical position. By the way, God also said (S)he supports gay marriage.

What does your God say about Kermit Gosnell and a woman's right to choose?
