82. My insurance rates were going up by leaps and bounds for YEARS before ACA.

Nov 2013

We had to keep dumping policies in search of something cheaper, and then those went up as well. I've been with Kaiser, Blue Cross, Providence, you name it.

Now, we are going to be able to get a policy at about half of what we're paying currently. Thank you ACA!
