So for 11 years I've been paying for insurance. I did have 4 of us on it...but one of my daughters is grown up and gone.

With 4 of us it was around $600 a month.

Now with "ObamaCare" it has risen the last 3 years to almost $800 a month for the three of us.
That's almost $9,600 per year for insurance.
And of course we have a $3,000 deductible that we have to pay before the insurance pays anything.

So each year...we have to be sick enough to spend 3 grand at the doctor before we see any benefits from putting in $9,600 a year into the insurance companies pockets.

Thank you Pres. Obama, thank you...
I started paying for my own med ins for my wife and I in 2000. Its gone up every year since I got it. I change plans and deductibles to keep the cost in check but before Obama was twinkle in anyone's eyes. They have raised my rates every year and like yourself in 10 yrs ive been to the doctor maybe 12 times in all those years.Since the president, senate and congress had no balls, we now have this bastardized version of romneycare bullshit. It should of been medicare for all. They were going to be hated anyway should have gone all in.
Also to the guy about the post office, the post office doesn't cost us the tax payer anything.
