This is ridiculous - its gotta stop.
Yet the GOP won't do a damn thing about it. They wont't even acknowledge that there are millions like me having to deal with these astronomical cost increases.

Vote Republican.
Nothing will change, but you’ll feel better thinking they might have made a difference.

Our premium stayed the same, but the deductible went up almost 40% and we dropped to a Bronze plan at work. They will not be able to hide the increase next year. Our co-pay for next year is 20% for almost everything with a $4000 deductible per person.
