Good for you shows anyone can do it. In Canada we pay a lot less than that
though. As soon as they can get those private healthcare companies out of
business it could be even cheaper Congrats you did a good thing today.

What level? Is yer deductible higher or lower than before? Is yer coverage for things you don't need? Is yer premium higher or lower than before? Are you getting a subsidy? Did you have ins before this? If you did, did you want that coverage to end? Do you have access to the same doctors and hospitals as before? Is yer info protected? How do you pay yer premium? Does the ins company know that you're a client of theirs?

I've been out of the country for 3 years.. so I decided I needed Insurance now that I'm back..

Seems to be about the same plan I had before.. no real difference.

Some of these I'll never need.

Ha Ha! All the belly aching about Obamacare for nothing. Are you voting Democrat next time?

No Republican..

It's pretty much the same BS I had before.. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas..

All ObamaCare is, is forcing people to buy Insurance..

It's like Canada, they were to force you to buy Canada Bonds.. 20% of your pay has to go to government bonds.. buy or be fined

What would have made this funnier Boom (and a little sad) is if you were still living and working in Canada. BTW, you are now a card carrying democrat whether you like it or not. You and Gopher can hang out with Hillary at the next convention. :)

Look at your tax bill grumpy the $100 per month only covers your care card , the real cost is in your 50 % plus tax you pay .
When is tax freedom day ? Something like June 26 before you begin working for yourself .

Living in Canada and buy US Health Insurance... that would make sense.. duh

No... I would have had to buy Insurance anyhow.. you would be a bloody idiot not to have Health Protection in the USA. Regardless of ObamaCare or not..

A visit to emergency could cost you upwards of $12,000 and ruin you for a few years..



Just look at all that sunshine...

I'm sitting in Ranger, Texas at the Loves Truck Stop right now and it's 23F right now.. the roads are still icy.. disgusting..

You know there is an outside that you'll need hospitalization, no matter how lucky you think you are.
