GOOD NEWS:
Medica is in for providing ACA policies in Iowa next year. I'm estimating my individual health insurance premium for next year will be around $19,000 based on their announcement of a 43% premium increase.
I don't know if their rates were consistent with the BCBS policy I had, but they couldn't be too far off or everyone would already be with them.
Jesus Fucking Christ, however, I can afford this, but what of the thousands of folks WHO CANNOT ???????????????????
And BTW, I CANNOT afford too many more annual rate hikes of +40%. And unfortunately, the lines on the graph cross well BEFORE I'm eligible for Medicare. If nothing changes, I might not have health insurance from ~2019 to 2022, unless farm incomes rise dramatically, or I sell farm land to pay for health insurance, assuming buyers exist without that same constraint. My farm land supports (currently) 6 people, and that 2019 thing might be optimistic . . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
