Last month, my employer informed us that our health insurance premium would increase another 30 percent this year, in addition, the annual deductible would double as well as the co-pay for specialists and prescriptions would also be going up.
We calculated that with the massive increases, health care alone for my wife and I will consume about 34 percent of my income – then there are income taxes!
Since Obamacare is due to begin January 2014, they will also have an early reanalysis in six months, as opposed to the usual annual renewal. If increased again our company may be forced to drop coverage altogether as business has slowed with the economy.

Obamacare’s “Exchanges,” for We the “little” People with pre-existing conditions, went broke with only a few enrollees. Since Obama unconstitutionally “decided” to delay the employer mandate for another year, there may be no insurance program available to us until we reach the age of 65 – to the insolvent Medicare.
Obama chose to rule once again last week, to exempt Congress and their staffers from the Obamacare mandated cost, just like the many waivers given to his cronies in big labor, and big business, which leaves We the “little” People left paying for our own massive costs, or pay penalties for no care, as well as pay for all of the “Ruling Class.”
If there is anyone whose health care costs have gone down, as Obama promised? I haven’t heard of a single one.
Also, if there is anyone who thinks government can run health care for over 300 million, they should talk to a veteran…there are only 900,000 of them, and the way they describe their “government run care” cannot be repeated within these public pages.
