How do other people survive with healthcare costs

Taxation is necessary for the operation of our country. However, they’ve taken it much too far and yes, now it’s at the point that most taxes are theft.

If the monies were just spent wisely it would be a different story. Meanwhile Uncle Sam spends Billions /Trillions of dollars trying to be the caretaker to the world while our own infrastructure, health care, school systems and Social Security is crumbling.

President Bill Clinton managed to balance the budget and even paying back on the debt. Can he run again for President?

As long as he don't drag his POS wife along with him.

Mine is about $82/mo with a $1000 deductible. It's not awful. Considering how much I pay I should probably use it more.

But you can thank Obamacare for those costs. Excuse me, the "Affordable Care Act."

General rule of thumb, whatever the legislation's name/title says it does, it will do the opposite.

Back on topic... I do miss Teamcare, but I never wanted to be so dependent on it I was stuck at UPS forever either.

Can't. We're stealing them for the Central

You can have all the jokes you want
Suckas!!!

All UPS Union members are covered under Teamcare. At least in the Central.

Not true. Some locals in the Central still have UPS/Aetna for both PT and FT.

The government can find an alternative method of making money. I don't need them.

Thank Republican Newt Gingrich and company for that.

For the 4 years between me getting on Medicare and my 4 year younger wife to get on it we paid over $900 a month for her crap insurance. In Central States when you hit 65 and go on Medicare, Teamster Insurance drops you and your wife like a hot potato.

My primary care physician charged me 200 dollars because she said I asked too many questions and it counts as “preventative” care.

They'd have another thing coming if they think I'd pay it.

They just turn it over to a collection agency.

I'd just as soon tell them to off.

Make a new friend?

Casting some bread on the water to see what rises. Lol

Why?

I'm assuming all the thumbs down on comments here are either RickyB or Car Washer.

What is the Cadillac Tax?

The Cadillac Tax is a provision of the Affordable Care Act that would impose a 40 percent excise tax on the excess of the cost of an employer-sponsored health plan over a specified threshold. The tax was intended as a disincentive for employers to offer high-cost (so-called “Cadillac”) health benefits to workers.

How much were you taxed?

How much were you taxed?

The point is Dems feel comfortable putting penalties on regular folk-union workers for what they see as "having too good benefits".
