35. You can't get insurance now because you lost COBRA. Thanks to the ACA, starting in January

you will have a choice of policies that are likely to cost LESS than the COBRA you lost. So why are you so angry about the ACA???

Under ACA, 56 year olds will generally be paying LESS than they previously did, if they qualified for insurance at all.
I suggest you go to your state exchange site and plug your information in and see what your actual cost is estimated to be. It will probably be less than your COBRA, especially after taking into account any subsidy or tax credit based on your income.

No, you are not my son. My son, and everyone else in his generation, will be helping to keep YOUR health care and mine affordable, by their very presence on the exchanges. You should be thanking every one of them who decides to participate because their participation is key to YOU having health insurance come January.
