I knew it was coming, but still. Right now I am not sure I can keep my doctor. And premium costs alone went up $ 1750.00 a year. My company is paying 75%. so their costs went way up.
At least you don't have to pay for a family plan... let me tell you, they cost a lot more than that.
I know, like 14K a year.

Yea I think mine is actually more than that and my employer only pays 2/3. So yea its a lot.

A little early to start planning a Happy Hour but I'll keep my eye on it and let y'all know when it is up and running.
I'll have to take the Ferry over.

Ouch.. what kind of plan do you have? I have a Kaiser family plan and am not sure how much my employer pays, but I guess it shows up on your W2 now as it's reported to the IRS..? I'll have to see how much it is next year w/ the munchkin.

The reality is I don't think Obamacare helps Shaniqua or someone else get insurance. The higher costs are likely to offset the costs of making everyone "insurable" and not denying anyone coverage on pre-existing conditions. That was the ONLY good thing in Obamacare in my book, but to appease insurance companies/etc he just cost shifted those folks onto everyone else, rather than trying to actually reduce overall costs.

I think the ACA can stand behind its name of the ACA solely for the reason that it made coverage attainable/"affordable" for those that couldn't previously obtain coverage, so it went from infinity -> high, which you could argue makes it "affordable."

Nice!

If they serve the smaller release stuff that's available at the Downington brewery/brewpub that'll be a great place. Victory's Downington location is killer.
