I went into the Silver area for more detail on that plan. Going from around 850 last year to 1,640 this year was a little less than 100% increase so I took it as being accurate.

We finally got the actual quotes from BCBS on my wife. They want to raise her from $740 to $1340. But after looking at the cheaper plans, the max OOP is actually lower with bronze. And as she might well need HC spending out the yin-yang, we will go with the $900 plan.

What Rubio did was cut the government subsidies for the insurance companies. Are you telling me now that liberals WANT insurance companies to get government subsidies and profit from Obamacare?

You mean they cut out the part where the government (aka the taxpayers) paid the insurance companies back for their losses? That part?
