No, you are the one who needs to pay attention. Oh, I forgot, you got emotional and put me on ignore. That is a solution, right there.

And this is for the second-cheapest option, with a deductible of $9,200.
Sources? Need some factual evidence to back that up. Sounds like you're making up numbers.

While I'm not happy with the price I pay, it's nothing like that. $380/month for $800 deductible.

Premiums have been going up steadily, but out of pocket amounts and Deductibles have exploded under ACA.

Of course they don't want to give a link because it explains that a big reason for the increase is because the GOP is trying to kill Obamacare by making it financially unfeasible for insurers to be able to provide affordable coverage.

Quote:
Doug Gray, executive director of the Virginia Association of Health Plans, had an even more tough-love take: Consumers in Charlottesville are “lucky” to have a carrier at all.

“We were the model for states in terms of competitive and successful exchanges. Then what happened is carriers lost a lot of money and they started to reexamine — ‘Gee, I’m not sure I can sustain participating in this,’ ” Gray said. “ ‘Do I want to stay in this business? Can we explain to our customers a rate increase this big?’ ”

and there it is. Blue state governor made speech stating they devised strategies to preserve deduction for state and local taxes.... a state wide new higher payroll tax and charitable deduction.

Charitable gift - can not financially benefit the giver.
New Higher Payroll tax change increase the tax burden on working New Yorkers and employers.

They can no longer shift part of their burden to DC. Simple solution is to cut your tax rates.

Cutting tax rates in blue states is going to happen as fast as a New Year's resolution to abstain from using toilet paper!
