Seems like a lot of people are buying it but can't afford it especially if they have to use it.

In my zip code, minimum plan for family of 4 is $8500 a year.

A plan that doesn't kill you with deductibles more like $15k.

Who exactly is supposed to afford these premiums. PLUS the $$$ it cost on top if you actually use it for anything.

What is your zip code? These things are easily verifiable.

10-15k deductible in top of 80/20

Right! If someone needs a subsidy to pay the monthly premium they sure as hell cant afford this. ObumblerCare is the largest hoax ever perpetuated on the American people. All it has done is take money out of the working middle class pocket and gave it to insurance companies on behalf of another economic class. That same economic class's that will not pay their co-pay and 80/20 because they can't afford it. All ObumblerCare did was rape the working middle class blue collar worker.

Anyone got a better idea? The problem we have here is that the middle class can not afford medical care. It is simply too expensive. Obamacare can't fix that. It only charges rates that make it profitable for insurers to participate. No private insurance model can. It's time for universal tax-funded care. That won't make it any cheaper probably, but the cost will be paid by the entire spectrum of the economy. We might have to give up some weapons systems and some war adventures to pay for it, too. We can argue the details but it is time to get in line with the rest of the world on this.
