Some people really do believe this bill will lower health care costs. But for us that is not what is happening. Our monthly out of pocket went up $225 per month this year. When checking with my wife's former employer and our health care provider they placed the blame for the increase squarely on this bill and advised us to expect another increase in 2014.

A few months ago I watched a business news interview with the CEO of Aetna. One of the questions asked of him was about some of the mandated "free" coverages to be provided as part of the bill. He matter of factly stated that there is no such thing as "free" coverage but that the cost for such items will be spread out over all policies/individuals.
