Just wanted to say that I am very thankful for it.

I had great health insurance for 25 years through my employer. After I moved to a different state and got a new job that couldn't offer me health insurance because of geographic limitations, my only affordable option was to enroll in an ACA plan. It worked out great for me. I make 17/hour and my monthly premium is under $1.00. The deductible is high ($8,000), but regular yearly doctor visits and mammograms are covered, and generic prescriptions are fairly reasonable.

So, you have to pay 8K before your insurer pays a dime, wow, what a deal. And how much are those monthly premiums?

We're going into our 4th year of the ACA, and I'm extremely grateful too. I remember back in the 80s and 90s when we couldn't afford health insurance except for catastrophic.

Obamacare would cost me $1550 per month if I took my 9000 deductible and divided it by 12, the rest is in monthly charges. White privilege at it's finest...

I've paid in nearly $100k over the past four years, in addition to the significant increases in my premiums. How do I make a withdraw?

I'm grateful for the ACA, too. My premium is around $120/month, with a $3,900 deductible.

Thanks, Obama!
