Are there different systems in other states, because when we were on a plan from the marketplace, the premiums were high but a doctors visit only cost a $30 copay.
I live in Wisconsin, and for some people I know that pay ACA, the cost per month is so much they feel like they can't pay the copay to go to the doctor. They are in their 20s, and making good money to an extent, but per month it's enough to discourage them from going to the doctor ironically. Granted they will still go for emergencies, the exact reasons they went previously before having to pay for insurance to avoid the fine of not having any.
I'm sure there are people that have it while before not having it so I'd like to hear about that. For everyone I've known, costs have gone up dramatically.
