Dec 2016

The reports of rates going up were for plans, like the one I had, that carriers upped rates on year to year. So what! I switched to an equivalent plan and my rates dropped substantially. Apples to apples. Well, I think I'll pay $35 - 40 for doctor visits, instead of $20, but my deductibles are lower, so pretty much apples to apples, plan for plan.

I don't want my ACA plan to go away, because my insurance carrier gave me their quote sheet for the "outside ACA" plans, which they said would be far cheaper. My 2017 plan was one on that list. $95/mo more outside ACA. Same exact plan.

Fcuk Republicans and their lying Insurance industry minions!
