In reply to the discussion: So, what happens if you are not [View all]PowerToThePeople
(9,610 posts)24. My estimated Silver premium is $396/month after 51$ subsidy
If I had an extra 396$ a month that would be fantastic!! But, I do not have an extra 396$/month. If I had an extra 396$/month I certainly would not want to just hand it over to some fat fuck insurance executive. I would want to replace my 23 year old car, or change out my old ratty clothes, or maybe even take a vacation (fuck, I have not had one of those since graduating college)
But fuck, in reality if I had 396$ extra a month I would need to save it, because god only knows when I could be unemployed and need to have that reserve cash to not end up homeless.
