ACA will force me to pay in the neighborhood of $1000 for a ~$6k deductible. I do not need a lower deductible, nor do I need every minor ailment covered. I definitely do not qualify for the subsidies either. I will basically be paying an additional $7k a year for a smaller, but still sizable, deductible.

When I went to Holly Springs NC on E-health I found the cheapest plan was $324 per month for a family of four with two 35 year old adults. That is with a $6,400 or $12,000 family deductible. Why not try shopping for insurance and instead of letting Human, Aetna, or United ********* overs? By the way once you go past age 40 or so insurance really starts to go up. You should thank Obama and Obummercare if you are over age 40. Post back with some real figures from e-health and tell us what your rates will be.

Guess what you just got older...In Copell Texas a 64 year old can get a Bronze plan for $430 per month. Do you think everything should be free?

I'm up 13% on my individual purchased ACA compatible plan compared to last year's exact plan. $1220.80 per month no HSA No subsidy family silver plan from non profit health coop which was started by grant from ACA law. 4K deductible $12,700 max OOP

Health insurance costs continue to be unaffordable for most of the unsubsidized.

When ACA was passed we had 36 million americans without insurance.

The number now sits at 41 million.

There are MORE uninsured, and since medicaid pays the hospitals a lower ucr percentile rates, that lower revenue needs to be made up elsewhere..

There is no logic failure, just liberal ignorance.

I'm not sure of your numbers. But locally our hospital is seeing boom times due to ACA, AZ Medicaid expansion and fewer no payers. I profit share with my hospital and have had big smiles.

The rates I posted earlier were given to me earlier this year on E-Health. Why would you think I do not shop for insurance? We employ several people full time, so insurance costs/requirements in general are quite important to us. The figures I posted are quite real, unfortunately.
