Michigan: Car Dealer Employees Face Higher Deductibles and Costs Due to ObamaCare

‘Most of this group count themselves as losers under the new law’

MYERS: “Others make a little too much for a government subsidy, and will use the $2400 from the company to buy a group plan it has recommended. But under that new group plan, they face much higher out-of-pocket costs. The deductible will go from $1,125 this year to $3,000 next year. And maximum out-of-pocket costs jump from $2,250 to $6,350. And for families, those numbers double.”
SMITH: “You don't make that much money to begin with. And the prescriptions are going to kill me.”
MYERS: “While employees here are used to their costs going up every year, it's never before been this dramatic. Most of this group count themselves as losers under the new law. Many feel they're paying too much to help others get insurance.”
CAMPBELL: “There’s nothing wrong with trying to help people, but there's a better way. This isn't the way.”
