Covered California [View all]

We enrolled the first year the ACA created health exchanges. That was 5 years ago in 2014.
I'm here to tell everyone of my first-hand experience.


The coverage is no where near what it was.
The ACA is a shell of its former self.
High premiums coupled with high deductibles and out of pocket costs.

We treat our Kaiser plan as a catastrophic plan and go to Scripps to pay cash for their 40% discount.
That's what it's come to.

Obamacare is on life support.
Republicans have ruined so much of it for those of us in the individual market.

On edit:

I will add that candidates talk about "expanding" Obamacare yet we aren't even close to the original Obamacare. The baseline for those of us in the exchanges.
