(12,778 posts)You posted an article about the high risk pool and didn't seem to know it went away on Jan. 1, 2014 even though it was stated in the article you posted.
You posted median income for the US when the thread clearly mentioned rates in CA.
Now you claim that the rates on Covered CA website are wrong...when that's NOT what the article you posted said.
Look, if you want to believe that over $1,000/month with a max OOP/deductible/coinsurance for a couple in CA age 55 $63,000 income are AFFORDABLE, you can believe whatever you want. Many people on this thread agree with me and I posted an article that backs me up.
For someone with a chronic condition, the max OOP/deductible can easily be reached EACH YEAR.
You can continue to be a cheerleader, but a lot of DUers know how bad it is going to be to force people to purchase something they can't afford.
Just check out the medical bankruptcy rates in Massachusetts.....
I'm done. I can't continue a conversation with someone who doesn't seem to read what is posted.
