Most people I know pay way more for individual polices-our $10,000 deductible is $1500.00 a MONTH for the 4 of us, thanks to Obamacare, and my having had a malignant mole removed a few years back. Can't get covered at all on other plans, I've tried. THe state pre-existing plans provided under Obamacare are more than that.
You maybe have always worked for a school district or a large company and had your insurance subsidized, and you have no idea what the individual market is like out there. Under Obama care, even a young healthy adult like my 22 yo pays $120/ month, or $ 1440/ year.
I have certainly learned a lot about what others pay on this thread... Your argument is all the more reason to eliminate the Affordable Care Act - and probably Medicare if it cannot be completely privatized.
