Cindy Vinson and Tom Waschura are big believers in the Affordable Care Act. They vote independent and are proud to say they helped elect and re-elect President Barack Obama.

Yet, like many other Bay Area residents who pay for their own medical insurance, they were floored last week when they opened their bills: Their policies were being replaced with pricier plans that conform to all the requirements of the new health care law.

Vinson, of San Jose, will pay $1,800 more a year for an individual policy, while Waschura, of Portola Valley, will cough up almost $10,000 more for insurance for his family of four.

Waschura said, referring to House Speaker John Boehner, who is leading the Republican charge to defund Obamacare.

"I really don't like the Republican tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so pissed about this. When you take $10,000 out of my family's pocket each year, that's otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going into our local economy."

Here is an idea, go to school and get a degree in something that will get you a job with insurance, or even seek out a job at winco where you can get insurance.

It's a bit of a tangent, but this quote is silly:

Retirement savings don't go into the local economy, at least not anytime soon. Spending the money on insurance is better for the short-term economy than saving.

My bill's going down. Did their carriers transfer them from a Volkswagen plan to a Cadillac plan without asking them to decide?

If this is neutral reporting, why doesn't the article report the before and after amounts, so we can determine which is the case--is the Before ridiculously low, or is the After ridiculously high?

Are you self-employed?

Spending the money at barfo's chili emporium is best for the economy. Short and long term.

And most peoples' retirement is in their home. Pay that off and you can afford more chili!

After reading her quotes, I don't think anyone who wants someone with some common sense would hire her.

Yes, because we all know that "retirement savings" means putting the money under their mattress or just leaving it in the bank. [/green font]

I just called my bookie Luigi "The Eel" Crematorri who handles my money and he says I'm retired from the business, and I won't collect Social Security or Medicare till I'm 99, when he says a big payoff comes to those who wait.

 

[jlprk]

Retired, dude. Like Alexander the Great, I cry because there are no more lands for me to conquer. That's why I post here.

I achieved my goal to be a millionaire by age 30 and you can, too. Send for my free booklet, shipping & handling $9.99.

Hilarious. Giving stuff to other people is always so much easier when someone else pays for it.

What a bunch of morons. It's no wonder why the current trajectory of taxing and spending and spending... and spending is going to continue.
