    And if you don't pay up, they'll report you to the credit bureaus. Didn't used to, but most do now.

    Yeah, we noticed this towards the last 5 months or so with our old insurance and it's the same with the new one. I'm SO not used to this!

    So, based on the thread title, we're down to only 32 million people without insurance?

    0bama promised a $2500 decrease in insurance costs per family: the cost of my NEW plan was actually about $1400 less.
    But the company needed to change plans to make it affordable.
    The kicker is that there is no co-pay for any medical visits or testing...
    Instead employees pay the first $3000 for individual coverage or $6000 for family coverage.

    My medical bills are rather high due to various maladies.
    I started an HSA (health savings account) where I pay $200 every 2 weeks (tax free) over the cost of my insurance to cover these expenses.
    So over all I'm paying about $20k a year to cover myself, my wife, and my daughter.

    This is not affordable healthcare.

    Makes Obamacare a real success story, huh?

    The premise of the op for this thread is a complete joke.
