I was paying nothing out of pocket, and my employer paid for all of my healthcare. Now, I pay $10 per week, and my employer pays a substantial amount more than before. Also, my deductible went up $3k

Costs have been going up, and will continue to do so well past the rate of inflation.

The first year of Obamacare, I saw a premium spike of 39%. This year's rate increase was kept lower as long as I accepted a substantially reduced provider network, or else it would have jumped by double digits again.

Here in Minnesota, which jumped on the Obamacare pole-smoking session, we had the company with the largest share of customers withdraw from the exchange altogether, leaving tens of thousands to find new insurance again.

Went up, but I must've imagined it because some people would like you to believe they're going down. Ha!

Actually I need to revise, my wife's birth control went from 50 a month to free, so mine actually went down. Otherwise it's the same. Nulld so add another to fallen mentally.

Whose tax dollars do you think pays? Your wife doesn't get birth control for "free".

Why should I pay you to fuck? Only possibility would be to stop people like you you from reproducing.

Shit, while we're at it, lets just give out free condoms. The government should pay for that, right? (It's a form of birth control).

So you're that one retard who never listened when it was explained a thousand times that birth control pays for itself in reduced costs for covering pregnancy. And yes, if we want to reduced abortions and lower welfare cost it would be definitely worth the money to provide reasonable birth control free. Most states already do and it's been shown to reduce unwanted pregnancies.

Good. I agree.

Where are my free condoms then? That is birth control.

Oh...OH I'm sorry....only women get it. I'd call that sexist.

/e btw, I'm that one retard who pays for your birth control. Every time I look at my taxes, some of that is gone to pay for you to have sex. At my expense. Pay for your own birth control. Having sex is not a right, the last time I checked.
