a lot of people say the best insurance they've ever gotten is once they are on medicare. that everything til that point is high, premium and then the bills. too true. we pay about 1400 a month for the two of us. but, in the last two years, I've hit my deductible both years, he has this year. my neck surgery was about 30k, and then I'm still getting bills for this. thankfully we had it.
I just hope for the day of single payer. because, altho more people than ever are insured because of the aca, the plan is untenable. it won't work in the long run. in some places, it already isn't working in the short run. it's a convoluted mess. but, it's still better than not having insurance at all....and I'm sure a lot of the people still without coverage are in that spot because they live in a state that didn't expand Medicaid. they don't make enough for a subsidy...they're screwed.
