Looks like Obamacare should collapse under it’s own weight. When I was working,that $1600/month would have been well over half my wages. The plans we had then(pre-Obamacare)were not nearly that expensive,but were still generally unaffordable to most of us. I had health care when I became eligible for Medicare.
I’ve resorted to Medishare. It is what insurance used to be and exempt from the Obamcare mandate. $35 doctor visit copay, no prescription coverage (we use goodrx.com and get a steep discount on generic drugs), no pre-existing condition coverage. Family coverage $438 a month.
