But it's not like I had health care, anyway. I was unable to find a dr to take my ACA insurance last year. I didn't even try this year. I haven't been to the dr. since the ACA final provisions went into effect in 2014. The deductibles were too high. It was more like catastrophic insurance, although it wasn't called that, and it sure didn't cost like catastrophic ins. (which used to be cheap).
My premium is now about $950/month, but the subsidy pays a lot. I don't use it. I can't get around to calling drs to try to find someone who will take it. I reached a psychological wall on that. I've heard "We don't take THAT" so many times, that I just don't want to hear it again.
