Markets are a bitch like that.

If Markets are a bitch like that then why cap profits and administrative cost at 20 percent? Surely in such a competitive market, gross margins are going to be much less than 20%.

It was definitely crap. But it was actually cheaper than what the "Affordable" Care Act offers.

It was your insurer's decision to no longer offer that plan. The ACA grandfathered all existing health plans.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Hey, here is an idea, why don't Americans catch up with the rest of the western world and offer public health care? I know I'm snarky but seriously think of how many cancer patients you can treat for the price of one cruise missile.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Before the law went into effect, I had a crap plan that allowed me one free doctor's visit and one free dental check up per year, which was alright considering my age and health. Now I have neither, and if I sign up through the marketplace, my monthly rate is not cheaper AND I get to pay for every visit until my $6,000 deductible is reached.

In short, fuck the ACA.

Hmm let me fix this for you.

Thanks to your shitty insurance company for being greedy bastards your shitty insurance plan is no longer offered. Fuck your shitty insurance company.
