Have any pullers been affected by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare)? November 09, 2013 04:44PM
Since I would guess a large number of pullers are self employed or small business owners, are there any pullers who are being impacted by the Affordable Care Act?

If yes, will it cause you to rethink whether you can afford to pull?

$2700 higher deductible, premiums will be doubled. But I can rest easy knowing I have maternity coverage now for my 57 year old wife and I, as well as pediatric dental care for my kids who are too old to qualify to use it. Might need the mental health and alcohol abuse part, cause this guy is either going to drive me crazy or make me start drinking.

well my dismemberment plan wasn't good enough so it got canceled, now I can get a plan that has prenatal care at a cost of quadruple my old rate and double the deductible, I really need that pediactric and prenatal plus long term maternity as a single white male and it doesn't look like i will qualify for anything but a grave plot.

I didn't vote for Obama. I don't agree with the Affordable Care Act.

I have purchased my own insurance for the last 4-5 years. It sucks.

I purchase 2 policies because of pre existing conditions in my family. Me and my kids go for about $250. per month.

My wife who is perfectly healthy, but on maintenance meds $750. per month.

We both have high deductibles and high out of pocket expenses. With these out of pocket expenses plus premiums right at $2000.00 per month.

Her policy has been cancelled effective Jan 1. My policy (and probably everyone else's) will be cancelled at the end of next year. (5% is complete BS).

I have been to the website and couldn't get on. Our local BCBS has given me rates, deductibles, etc.

We will remain at the current expense level of $2000 per month for our family with premium and out of pocket.

It is all about gambling on your out of pocket. Human nature will bet low on the out of pocket and default on the bills.

This system is destined to fail miserably.
