BruceEmery Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Had a PRP treatment for my left elbow in 2011. After deductibles and co-pays it cost me about $250.00. Had one for my right elbow in June of this year ($1323.00). Same doctor, same insurance company. This is quite sobering, and will make me think twice about getting medical care.

Baller ForrestGump Posted December 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yep. Thanks to the ACA, my deductible went up 400% for '14 and in '13 things that were previously covered were no longer. Grrrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller TustinTom Posted December 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 12, 2013 I feel your pain. You will be happy to know the regulators have "helped protect" the consumers with their Home Loans. Many of your loan fees will soon be "baked" in to the rate....that will be paid over the LIFE of the loan. Also, with Flood Insurance. Check out the Waters/Biggert Flood Insurance Act that was PASSED. Now, Waters is out asking for a repeal of her own Bill due to "unintended consequences", un-affordable Flood Insurance per her matrix. We must remember, these people were voted in to office.

Baller A_B Posted December 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 14, 2013 @Ed_Johnson, I'm planning on it! That was funny. The thread title is probably going to impact a good portion of Ballers, as the demographics suggest the average income levels pull any meaningful subsidies off the table for health care coverage. From the brief access I was able to see on launch day, the cost of the "average" decent policies on the exchange were 50%~75% higher than what we pay for them as a company that has 150 employees. If you are on your own, you are going to lose a substantial chunk out of your waterski fund, gas, or even boat fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ThePantsManCan Posted December 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 14, 2013 @Ed_Johnson, If you like your ski you can keep it, that is true, but I just learned that the kicker here is that you can no longer keep your Fin Settings!

Administrators Horton Posted December 14, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2013 @ThePantsManCan yea yea the jokes write themselves. This group seems to be on the same page but I am sure not everyone agrees. If we are going to disagree about something out needs to be about skiing. People get pretty upset about national politics. My personal views are relatively extreme but again this is not the place....
