I sit here, a former responsibly individually insured person. March 31 has come and gone, and I have joined the uninsured because of a now unaffordable insurance rate and deductible. To top it, I don’t qualify for subsidy (which I despise, anyway).
There must be millions of other Americans like me. We have now joined the other “30 millions uninsured” obama used as a reason for HIS wonderful law.
obama can pretend for the cameras that we don’t exist, but we do, and he knows it. He is The Destroyer.
I sympathize with your problem. I hope you find something that suits you soon.
Simple answer, the fundamental transformation in this situation is this: those with insurance before 2009 no longer have it because it was made too expensive and invasive. Meanwhile, they have been replaced on the insurance rolls by those who did not have it before because they are being subsidized to buy it. Kind of a shell game.
BTW, this is a win win for the insurance companies. If they lose money, virtually impossible under the rules, the government bails them out. Meanwhile, the taxpayers pay more taxes (or more debt) plus those who had insurance before either don’t have it now or pay more for what they did have with about 50% of the benefits of having it.
Welcome to Obamaland where up is down, down is up and social justice rules.
