Help re: "affordable" healthcare

You don't get insurance through your job?

Self-employed peopled often don't get insurance through their job.

I hear you, brah. My insurance is due to go up $200 next year.

And people want to keep this shitastic law.

but Obama and Congress butt fricked our health care system,

Health care cost were already soaring when Obama took office. I am self employed and always saw a 15-20% increase year to year. The biggest problem w/ Obamacare is it did/does nothing to control costs. But getting rid of Obamacare won't either. To the OP, call an insurance agent and have them give you a quote. The problem w/ the Obamacare exchanges is its mostly sick people buying thru there because private open market companies won't sell to them. So the costs to the insurance companies selling on the exchange is very high....and thats passed on to the consumer. I found a policy on the open market that's better than the silver plan on the exchange and cheaper.

"affordable" healthcare

That's the problem for self-employed people - no group policy. If you have a pre-existing condition, it's tough to get insurance.

So, if you are an entrepreneur with a prior condition, you are basically SOL with insurance. As a small businessman with a small finance company and a kidney condition, I can't get insurance without the ACA.

So, hopefully Trmp will come up with a plan to let me buy insurance and keep my business. If not, I can't get it.
