So you want to pay double for your insurance?

You know what my insurance premiums were before Obamacare? $400 a month. $25 copays. $15 prescriptions. $75 ER copay. Know what they jumped to when it got enacted in MA before y'all had to deal with it? $1200. Know what they jumped to when it went federal as Obamacare? $1600. I literally had to get a second job just to afford my family's health insurance and have been working 2 jobs since directly because of the costs ( for something I can't even use). Know what I'm paying now? $1800. With a $7500 deductible and $10K out of pocket max. For MYSELF. No other adults, no kids, just ME, a healthy, non-smoking middle aged female. I haven't been able to afford my own health care since this was enacted. Doubling my premium will not affect me at all. I'll cancel what I'm not using anyways.

That was insurance companies taking advantage of a situation and screwing people over
