Health Care

[Chewbacca]

Whats the latest co-pays at various frax for 2011? Just wanting to see how things are changing.

400/MO for HMO @ CA for a family in 2011.

Zero at NJA, and we get a pass on the new law being union-maybe-supposedly-who really knows. Our open enrollment begins later this month, so other factors are unknown at this point, like office visit co-pays. Mental health co-pay actually dropped last year, and the CBA prevents any reduction in benefits, so hopefully no suprises ahead.

Is your monthly contribution an increase or decrease? I hope it went down, but I suspect few plans will.

Try NONE.

In this place called "the real world", nobody's cost are going down.

You mean this place called "universal health care." Certainly isn't the real world anymore. It's just causing premiums to increase at a faster pace than they would have if things remained the same. Another great idea brought to you by Obama.

Family HSA plan premium at FlexJet just went up 51%.

No pay changes for now at NJA, but I won't hold my breath whenever it is we negotiate a new contract (either starting in 2012 or 2015 if extended). At least the 2007 contract put it in writing that they can't raise it up on us. I hope the rest of the fracs refrain from hosing their pilots too bad. Good luck all.

Just because you heard it on Fox and Glenn Beck says it's so doesn't make it so.

Maybe you guys are right...maybe those pesky sick people should have their paid in full insurance dropped. They were healthy when they got the plan, why should the health insurance company suffer just because some customer gets sick?

What good is health care if it can't make people rich?!? It's healthcare... publicly traded. It's a commodity. So what if people live or die as a result. Profits demand sustained growth and sick people are in direct conflict with that! Let them pay out of pocket or die trying, we have corporate America to protect.

The tea party will save us...I'm sure of it.

Thank goodness I have insurance, and will never have any trouble getting the drugs I need.

Unless the vital cancer drug I need isn't profitable enough to manufacture, that is:

But the system isn't broken... riiiight.

The biggest problem with socialized medicine aka ObamaCare, is that if the GOVERNMENT is in charge of your healthcare, they can also TAKE IT AWAY. They can, and eventually will, CONTROL YOU VIA HEALTHCARE. As in, if you don't vote for a particular party, "they" will take your healthcare away. And those in power will inflict more socialism on us in the name of "compassion" (read: more control over us, more power for them).

Those who are OK with the state controlling so much of your lives, vote your conscience, but know what you are getting us into. A huge mess that will control us, not to mention saddling our children and our children's children with a debt they cannot repay. Don't fool yourself into thinking socialized medicine is about healthcare. Its about GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER YOU.
