yeah...I’m tired of not being able to afford going to a doctor.

$12,500 deductible is just rediculous. If I wanted a catastrophic plan I’d buy one...wait...I can’t do that either under 0bamacare.

I’m looking forward to being able to buy the coverage I want and see the doctor I want to see...AND be able to afford it!!!

I try not to go to a quack unless I absolutely have to.

My insurance plan does ok for what things are like now but no great guns by any means. I’m thankful and grateful for it though.

Wow, a $12,500 deductible?! I’ve been complaining because ours is around $3,000.

Thank God for Trump.

My best friend is a receptionist. Her insurance for her, her disabled husband and son is $900 a MONTH with a $4,000 deductible for just her. Not sure what it is for her dependents, She makes $32,000/yr and they are going to lose their house unless something changes quickly.

One of the unforeseen consequences of Obamacare is that it has allowed the insurance companies to search for a rate ceiling. A point where when they charge that amount then people begin to drop out because they can't afford it. They haven't found it yet, as your reluctant willingness to pay an exorbitant amount for minimal coverage shows. Even if you do away with Obamacare and replace it with Price's plan then I don't see where the insurance companies will have any incentive to lower their premiums. You're replacing one subsidy with another, only taking away the income caps that came with Obamacare. The only way to apply pressure to the insurance companies is to do away with government subsidies altogether. Insurance companies will have to react and offer more affordable options or they will lose a large percentage of their customers.

Repeal, don't replace.
