Taxachusetts here! I can tell you that year after year our insurance options change for the worse. Prices increase, deductibles increase and coverage gets changed to cheaper and cheaper companies. Before Romneycare you would have at least 4 - 6 companies to choose from and they were pretty good companies to deal with. Now in the last 3 years we have gone to the worst 2 you could possibly have. To decide between the two was painful at best.
Prices for the insurance have skyrocketed as well and you are not allowed not to have coverage. Our expenses last year over and above what we pay for the insurance itself wiped out a more than a months paycheck.
What is happening is we are paying for those that do not have coverage in this state and still the system is bankrupt! Of course we are home to a lot of unwanted illegals if you haven’t heard!
