Have you spoke to your two senators about your health care plan?

Check with your doctors office. Quite often they know how coverages work with different plans.
Your senators were outvoted in trying to stabilize healthcare. With the upcoming windfall about to befall the middle class, you will be able to cover all costs.

I feel your pain brother (pun intended). Since Ocare I've had my insurance escalate to what is now $1800/mo with anthem and that includes a $12,000 deductible with my wife. Talking to your senator is TOTAL bs. What are they gonna do? Will be moving my primary residence to FL this Jan and it's not much better down there.
This is OUR fault. We've elected these dopes and are literally paying the price.

And the worst part is that these hack politicians are totally exempt from all of this BS. WE get to pay for their premium health care on top of it all. What a joke.

Seaplane says it right on the nose ...they are exempt and we pay. Over the past few years there has been discussion of removing all exemptions these officials enjoy and making them subject to ALL the same rules and regulations we have to follow. Maybe that would cause them to rethink some of the actions they take.

"Stabilizing healthcare!" Are you kidding? Obamacare is in a complete free fall. If you own a small business, like I do, you would know that. I yearn for the days when healthcare increased 1-5% annually. Now it's more like 10-20%. Guess who pays for it? I'm looking in the mirror.

Make no mistake, both of our esteemed senators would prefer a single-payer system. Both support Medicaid expansion. Both support complete funding of Planned Parenthood. NH needs to elect conservative representatives, and finally put Obamacare out of its misery.

I graduated many,many years ago. Needing health insurance for us I contacted BC. The then premium at the time for an individual policy was in the area of $9,000 yearly. What would that correlate to today.
Then we got into a group plan and guess what happened. After a couple years one member had a heart attack and the plan was canceled.
Competition really worked well then and it will not work today. "Covered lives" as we are called are ducks in the meddle.

I am a retired workaholic and continuing aquaholic.

Or more than 10-20%! My group is still what they call "Grandmothered" supposedly for one more year. Then we will be required to go to Obamacare which is even higher. Both saw a huge increase but our current plan was a bit less. It is very discouraging to try to buy it for your group.

Now if this new system was so great, why did they have to "stabilize" it?

This is my third year with this chrapcare and it will be the third insurance company. The first is longer writting policies in NH and the second went bankrupt. The last 3 years my preimums have gone up 20%, 25%, and this year 50%.

It seems that Anthem Blue Cross is the only company writing individual (i.e. not group) plans in NH.

My premiums increased 61% this year.

I now have higher copays too.
