We have been notified that our current insurance will go up by about $120 per month. This is an increase of $1440 per year. So now, our two person policy will cost over $11,000 per year. So, another Obama promise has reached its expiration date. Remember when he said we will save money on our premiums. A family would save $2500 per year. So we should have saved about $1250 per year. Instead, we are paying $1440 more a year. That means that we will be losing $2690 per year on insurance.

Our insurance will have all the minimums that Obama says I have to have. I will have maternity care for the new undocumented immigrant who lives down the street. I will have unlimited rehab for my cousin Percy the addict. I will have dental and vision for all the 12 and unders who live in the nation. It is a one size fits all version of what healthcare the government thinks you should have. Obama has decided that we need all these things and it should be “free”. But it isn’t free. I will be paying for all this stuff I do not need.

I really resent that we get to pay for all this free stuff for others. Meanwhile, that artistic couple with little income is getting our tax dollars as a subsidy to buy some insurance of their own. They are doing what they love, making little money, but thats ok. My husband and I will help them pay for it.
