Thinn Ong was thrilled to qualify for a subsidy on the health care exchange. She is paying $200 a month in premiums. But the single mother of two is asking, what for?

That $200 a month would pay for a lot of doctors visits and prescriptions.

Yes, but it's MUCH more important as "campaign contributions" funneled to Democrats.

I wonder what her deductible was? Wait ‘til she finds out (assuming she finds a doctor), that she’s going to have to come out of pocket, maybe for quite a bit of money, for quite a while ... perhaps all year if her bills aren’t significant. As you stated, $200/mo would probably pay for routine care/meds - so the question is how long will she continue to pay those premiums for “nothing”. I think many of these folks will quickly figure out that they’re better off not paying premiums and using that cash for the care they need and they’ll likely be able to find a doctor, too.
