Open enrollment in the Obamacare-created federal Health Insurance Exchange is scheduled to begin on November 1, and many consumers returning to the exchange or signing up for the first time are in for a rude awakening. Millions of Americansâ health insurance premiums are expected to rise and hundreds of thousands more could find themselves without any health insurance subsidies at all in 2016.

The next thing the Stupid Government will find out is that when the fine goes up, the number of tax payers filing will go down. Mark that down.
There is no other option for me. I have the Obamacare Bronze plan, the least expensive. Deductible is $6,500.
Where’s the outrage? Citizens opposed 0bamaCrap before it was shoved down our throat. How bad do things have to get before there’s a deafening roar for its repeal? In the meantime we can only hope this monstrosity collapses from its flawed design.
Basically, you don't have any health insurance. What you have is an expensive financial burden mandated on you by the Tyrant-in-Chief.
I don’t qualify for Medicaid or Medicare. The least expensive policy I found for myself was $587/mo with a $6798 deductible and a $50 copay for office visits. While meeting that deductible I will still have to pay all out-of-pocket expenses PLUS that premium amount? I can’t do it.
I am a healthy person. One annual gyno visit, one mammogram, and one endocrinologist appointment is the only medical treatment I have all year long. And I certainly don't have $6K sitting around to meet that deductible if something catastrophic happens.
How hard is it to opt out of this stupid noninsurance anyway?
To answer your question, I am probably not the best person to ask. I am a veteran and use the VA and medicare. But since you asked, it is probably cheaper, since the "insurance" doesn't pay for your visits now anyway, to just pay the penalty (oops, tax). Since you are healthy, you'd be taking your chances on the catastrophic coverage but most catastrophic illnesses or trauma result in bankruptcy anyway, insurance or no insurance.
The liberals have screwed the medical insurance industry up so badly with this ineffective, unaffordable law that most people are in the same boat as you are. It is a shame. Every time the government gets their hands on something they think needs fixing, they just make it worse.
Totally agree.
They aren't angered enough to do anything.
We should be surrounding their buildings and daring them to come out!
