Our youngest is just starting college. Thankfully, we have insurance. The college healthcare plans have just skyrocketed. They used to be around $200-300/ year when her older siblings were in school. Now it’s up to $1300/ year- in just one year. The cover letter from the college stated plainly this was due to the “Affordable Care Act,” and is out of their control.
In some places the college healthcare plans are increased 1112%. Most colleges REQUIRE you have health insurance, and financial aid does not offset healthcare costs. These students, or their parents, are paying through the nose. In a few months, EVERYONE will know Obamacare is law, regardless of their level of ignorance.
...and about 40 percent of them will be saying, “What? We have to pay for it? Nobody told us that”.
