So this is what you've heard?
Everyone I know (brother, parent, close friends) who actually has experienced using Obamacare has seen their costs decrease from what they were paying before this new system,
I see you said
their cost, is that avoiding the real cost? As in
their plus the cost to taxpayers through the subsidies.
I have a family of four, in 2010 my private policy yearly premium was $4,512 with a $10,000 deductible with the same Out Of Pocket cost.
Today for the same policy with forced ACA changes I'm paying $10,248 with a $10,000 and Out Of Pocket.
To get an Obamacare policy, and I just looked it up, the cost is $15,108. The true cost of the Obamacare policy is $4,860 more than my private BCBS policy. Note, the deductible is higher at $13,700 as is the OOP.
However as you know the willing taxpayers will subsidize me with a check for $11,028, bringing my cost down to $4,080. That's based on a $72,000 income.
Bottom line, you need to compare private policy costs to the real cost of an Obamacare policy after the subsidy.
We haven't even talked about the additional taxes imposed on taxpayers and healthcare use for Obamacare.
