What does your old COBRA have to do with a $500 a month premium today? Everyone knows COBRA's were overly expensive and are apples to oranges in comparison.
Through my 50,000 person company I pay about $325 a month for what the healthcare.gov would classify as platinum plan, and actually I have ZERO deductibles so technically its a 100% plan.
But platinum is not available where I live apparently, however just to get a gold 80% plan, the cheap one, would run $879 a month. And the closest plan is $990 a month.
And your a little cooco for coco puffs if you can't see the difference between a socialist based government controlled healthcare system and the open market risks of someone not paying their bills.
Why don't you find a nurse and ask them why the doctors run all the excessive tests, which run up the bills and make that person unable to pay that bill?
Having an RN for a wife, who left the medical field because of such crap I can attest to a completely top to bottom broken system. So yes it needed some reform.
But somehow you think the broken government can do it better? The one where HHS has a $983B budget for the 312M americans? At $3K+ a person, which doesn't include covering the millions of heros of this country our vets, who are on a different plan, and the $983B who also don't cover most of us on health insurance plans. So if 1/4 of the population is using aide, then that is over $12K per person.
The one where corruption is rampant in medicare and medicad and some how rose by 8.1% from the prior year. The one where the ACA needs the young healthy people to be forced into a plan they don't want, just so they can pay for the already billions of dollars shelled out.
So please enlighten us and explain how this is better?
