mine didn't change from last year. so, it's not about the same, it's the same.

but i didn't expect it to change. company i work for is in 14 states, and should have a pretty good group rating.

I'm happy for you - seriously. This thing sucks, so if you can keep your plan in spite of the lies of the president, more power to you.

my health insurance went up significantly. of course, i retired in september and as a retiree now pay 55% of the group premium instead of a smaller amount as an active employee.

but everything about health insurance is worse now because of obamacare and i'm incapable of making distinctions. plus i'm finding it's easier to maintain rigid opinions about things i have very little information on these days. life is so much simpler when you're dumb.

oh, and stay off my lawn.

Probably not far from the truth. Watch how "bending the cost curve" manifests itself.

Many of you will be experiencing much higher premiums next year:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013...ld-lose-plans/


Excerpt: "... David Allen, president of a company bearing his name in Boulder, Colorado. He told a Congressional hearing recently that his carrier discontinued his company policy because it wasn't compliant with ObamaCare.
It does not meet the minimum standards as stipulated under the law. Due to this one change," he said, "our premiums are now scheduled to increase by 52.3 percent in January 2014."
