In reply to the discussion: States that will be hardest hit if ACA subsidies lapse [View all]ShazzieB
(22,181 posts)37. I agree.
My late sister, who didn't have a political affiliation but was very conservative, told me and everyone else she knew that she and her husband didn't sign up for an insurance plan under the ACA because it was "too expensive." Curious, I asked her how much it would have cost them. It turned out that she had no idea because she had never bothered to check out the ACA portal for out state! I don't think her husbsnd checked it, either. He evidently just decided it cost too much and told her so, and she took his word for it. They were still uninsured when she died.
It kind of makes me wonder how many other MAGAs did the same thing.
