Mine last year was 1699 a month with a 8000 deductible for my wife and me. It is only for us 2. I am mid 50's and pretty healthy. This year renewal is 2200 per month with same deductible. I went down even lower to a bronze plan for 1700 so dropped from silver to bronze and lose one of my best doctors. It is such a ripoff I am retired and if I hadnt paid my house off I would have to choose between staying in my house or paying health insurance.

You should be allowed to pay into medicare now with about let's say 500 a month.

Sure, if the idea is to bankrupt Medicare faster than it's current path.

You will get free health care in the camps when Trump completes the military coup. You'll be fine.

Obamacare is a disaster that just keeps on giving.

Nah, man. How could there ever be problem with forcing insurers to cover every aspect of a finite commodity while articially controlling the price of said finite commodity?

Anyone in the US getting it for free?


"
There was a net loss of 3.6 million in the employer-insured market. When combined with the individual market, the net gain is only 2.3 million in the private market. Combined with the 11.8 million in the Medicaid entitlement, the total number of newly insured is actually 14 million, not 20 million. The data strongly suggest that millions of people lost their employer-paid health insurance and were forced into the individual market in 2014 and 2015.
The Heritage results indicate that the actual percent of uninsured only dropped to 11 percent of the U.S. population, not the single-digit percent reported by the Administration. Likewise, [B]almost 85 percent of the newly-insured are in the Medicaid entitlement[/B]."

Yep.
