Got a notice from BCBS today.......... [View all]

Me thinks they knew full well that shit gibbon was going to end subsidies and they don't want to be caught holding the bag. So..as of Jan 1 2018 my total premium goes up about 36%.

Since the subsidies have ended then my part to pay goes up about 681%. I'm retired and can't do it. I'm almost two years from Medicare and if all this comes to fruition this will be the first time I haven't had health care insurance since I was 28.

Here's hoping you DIE the most drawn out,painful,hideous death that possible for a human to go through Trump. We'll all be cheering for your passing from the sidelines.
