My 90/10 plan is not cheap for my employer, and the ACA plans I have seen at the 90% level are in sync with its gross cost. Now if my income were lower, and if I had to pay 100% of my plan's cost, and I were subsidized, I'd save a bundle via ACA.

That is the key-apples to apples is the sole way I compare anything. A friend peddled stop gaps-I know what trash they truly are.
If they're such trash, why is our tyrannical apparatchik allowing people to keep those junk plans for another two years?

In my opinion, that continuance was a mistake made for political reasons. These plans commonly cap Hospital care coverage at 200 -300 per day, leaving the patient with a 1,700-1,800 day bill.

In short, if you want to see how bad these are ask folks with them who were hospitalized.

I don't. Even when I buy individual insurance I'll be using a non state or federal site to purchase it. I won't get any subsidies so there is no point in me doing so. I'll probably call it "Cigna", "Anthem" or "Kaiser". LOL.

It is certainly not the "Affordable" "care" act.

It isn't affordable and the only thing Obama cares about is bigger government.

I call it "the unaffordable and I don't care Act". My daughter (a hairdresser) has had her medical costs triple under "the Unaffordable and I don't care Act"
