My premium last year was over $12,000, and that was an over 40% increase from the year before.
This year, my plan is canceled and I have to switch to another that has drastically higher copay/out of pocket/deductibles so even with my premium staying the same (for worse coverage), I need to set aside $8,000 to $10,000 if I want to use it.
So, what if my premium goes up 40% next year? That's $17,000. Year after that is over $23,000, then $33,000. And how much lucre do I need to set aside to actually be able to use it ??
When do I get to say 'uncle' on this ?
Clinton had plans to reform it. Now I guess poor people are back to just being SOL.
