2019 ACA Plan Up 12.4% From Last Year

Posted by JD 11/10/2018 at 01:32

Just got the new ACA insurance quotes for 2019. 12.4% increase from last year.

4.38x more money and zero better options. There is nothing affordable about these plans.

My real monthly rates:

2014 $148
2015 $321
2016 $365
2017 $419 Bronze Plan
2018 $574 Bronze Plan
2019 $645 Bronze Plan

Thank you former President Obama and all our representatives. Nice job.

I have ZERO medical issues, besides being slightly overweight and wearing glasses. Vision and dental are NOT included in these plans.

ZERO medications besides the very occasional Sudafed for sniffles.

37% ACA (Obamacare) increase in 2018! 1

Posted by JD 11/04/2017 at 13:06

Update for 2018. 37% higher than in 2017!!! 387% higher than I paid in 2014 plus the deductible is much higher and the coverage is much worse.

3.87x more money and zero better options. No question to me why the democrats didn’t win the last presidential election. Their decisions on this are costing me thousands more yearly and I’m on the cheapest plan available in my state.

My real monthly rates:

2014 $148
2015 $321
2016 $365
2017 $419 Bronze Plan
2018 $574 Bronze Plan

Thank you former President Obama and all our representatives. Nice job.

Bad Idea Blue Moon - Cappuccino Stout? 1

Posted by JD 01/03/2017 at 01:06

Picked up a sampler 12-pak of Blue Moon beer thinking I’d get to try some tasty alternatives. Didn’t look at the different options too closely because I’ve been pleasantly surprised by other brewery sample packs – Spoetzl Brewery in particular.

Well, the Blue Moon guys were drinking a little too much. That’s all I can say – they made a Cappuccino Stout. Some things are just a really bad idea.

Just sayin’.

Called by "New Landlord" Today

Posted by JD 10/06/2016 at 18:00

Got a phone call today from someone claiming to be my new landlord. I started laughing. He took offense. He had a thick, foreign, accent. I couldn’t place the location. The caller ID said Florida, but that was probably bunk too.

Let me explain.

John Kerry has money for me! Oh, boy!

Why Are Driverless Cars Cool? 2

Posted by JD 07/13/2016 at 20:00

Why Are Driverless Cars Cool? After all, we’ve been driving vehicles for over 100 yrs and it seems to work very nicely, right?

Ok, think back to that old western movie (or The Three Musketeers ) when the cowboy whistled to his horse and the horse moved where she/he was needed for the fast get-away. Remember how nice that was – great animal, neat trick, right?

But what does that have to do with driverless cars?
