The real cost of health care

Jesus Christ Is Lord!
11 November 2010

The following is an internal email exchange based on a 25% increase for reduced coverage in our Health insurance.

no, that is not the reason the cost to us have gone up. The cost has gone due to the health care legislation that was passed by President Obama and the Democrat Party. They passed it against the will of the majority and did it claiming that it would bring prices down. Everyone, myself included, knew that it was going to drive prices up and was nothing more than a government take over of the health care industry. The Government has no Constitutional authority to get involved in any private industry and the reason is they do it very inefficiently and they stifle advancement. The law that was enacted contains many more "reforms" that will do nothing but more of the same, increase your and my cost and reduce coverage. At some point someone will have to pay for the inefficiency they are creating and when that time comes the result will be an uncaring government deciding what care you need, when you need it and how much of it you get. The coverage will be ultimately determined by how much money the government has and the truth be told the government doesn't have any. And the goal of the socialists that are running our government was to initially drive the price up so that everyone would lose their coverage and the government could then step in as your savior and provide for you. They want to provide for you right up until the inevitable collapse. Look at Europe and see what is store for us if we don't all get the government under control.

Subject: New Health Care Costs to Employees

PREVIEW…………………

All,

Due to changes (reforms) in the health care industry insurance premiums raised significantly across the board. Paraclete has always carried exceptionally good insurance at no cost to eligible employees. Unfortunately, the huge increase in rates for next year created a choice of no longer providing health care for employees or requesting they share a small percentage of the cost. The new system will be a 75/25 split with the company picking up 75% of the premiums. There are some small changes in the plan but it is still way above industry standards (so is the company paying 75% of the cost).
The new plan is as follows:

$20 office visit co-pay and $40 specialist (same as current plan)

$500/$1000 deductible (Current is $250/$750)

$10/45/60 prescription tiers (Current is $10/30/45)

If you wish to be dropped from the insurance before the new plan takes effect December 1st please notify me immediately.
