Mine would have gone up 60% last year if I had kept my same plan (Silver). Couldn’t afford it, so I had to step down to a Bronze and even that was more costly than the Silver I had a year prior.
I called my two Rat U.S. Senators and the response from their staff was to 1) support Medicaid expansion in my state and 2) support a “Copper” level plan. The Bronze plan is worse enough with high premiums and high deductibles. A “Copper” plan would be like having no insurance at all.
Go broke and/or let someone else pay for it? That seems to be working for quite a few citizens and illegals these days.
